The Slip n slide
A zoo morning
Isabelle finally is brave enough to "pet" the sharks.
Best buds...
Seeing the walruses
Sea lions out for a swim
Lunchtime
I have made a mental note to avoid the zoo at all costs during the month of May! It was literally field trip crazy which apparently happens this month. We managed to avoid the major crowds by not visiting the exhibits very popular (dolphin show), and watching where the groups were going and heading in the oppposite direction.

Planting our vegetable garden
was a very big undertaking. Big as in my stomach that made it very difficult to stoop, bend, and dig. We have a large garden in the backyard that was previously a weed garden and prior to that a perennial garden. I didn't want to take alot of time or money to invest in something that will probably be dinner for a hungry raccoon or deer but wanted to give it a shot as a garden was one thing that I really wanted. We planted tomatoes, varieties of peppers, zucchini, cucumbers, peas and beans. I am anxious to see what will be harvested this summer.
Mother's Day tea with Isabelle's preschool class
We enjoyed cookies, sundaes, and lemonade with Isabelle's classmates and moms last Thursday. They had prepared a gift (a recipe card holder), frosted our cookies and made placemats. They had a very cute skit and we even did some dancing. Isabelle is really growing up! I can't believe she is going to kindergarten next year!!!! *sniff, sniff*
Last ballet class of the spring and showcase of classes
before the performance
on stage
Isabelle teaching Allie some moves.
My little ballerina
Isabelle really enjoyed her ballet class this year and little sister Allie really can't wait until she is old enough to join. They had a "showcase of classes" at one of the middle schools and Isabelle wasn't nervous at all to get on stage at the auditorium and do her routine and some tumbling for the audience. It was a "clown" dance and she wore a blue cape with orange pom pom buttons. It was cute and she did great!

Monday, April 26th
we had some visitors...
Jameson (aka Junior) thinks this auntie is the best.
bathtime for the girls...
Grandma Koss was here. This was the first time that she saw our new place. Too bad the weekend was cool and wet!
Jameson knows all about this subject.
Isabelle and Allie had so much fun playing with their cousins Hayley and Emily (and Jameson too).
