My new wheels-wahoo!!!

Ode to my black Mazda
You have cost me so much money
Why did you have to be a lemon?
Oh, how I loathe you Auto Strada!!!
Parts here, parts there
adding to but a small kings ransom.
5 years has passed
Time to move on to bigger and better
We love you our new 2008 Sienna that seats 8 with auto doors and DVD!

Martin Luther I mean Michael Jackson tribute

Ok, this school my kids go to is a little strange. I haven't been excited about the activities that they've put on, --at least the academics have been good, but they extra cirricular has been weak. So, Maggie was so excited for her Martin Luther King Jr. tribute program. She even was chosen to be one of the dancers and even had a special Michael Jackson glove. Why Michael jackson? Well, the program started out all about Martin Luther King Jr., but that only lasted minutes. Most of the program was a dedication to Michael Jackson. The kids danced to "Smooth Criminal," --appropriate, I know. ANd then they had this huge power point on Michael with all his music. I left thinking was that a tribute to Michael Jackson we just saw? It really was strange. Here is a photo of her so proud though!

Here she is in all her glory!

A visit from friends

Audrey, Emily, Maggie, Andrew and Drew at Old Nevada
Too much excitement on the train at Old Nevada
Emily and Audrey are the best of friends. They even look alike--why do you have to live so far away?

My good friend Cari and her 2 kids came for a visit from NC. Andrew and Emily are the same age as Maggie and Audrey and they are good friends even though we live miles apart. We always try to plan a trip to see each other often. Here are a few pics of some of the activities that we did. Unfortunately, Andrew got the pukes, so we weren't able to go out on the town, but we still had a wonderful time and hope to see each other soon!
