Cookie Flowers

Just tooting my own horn - so today I made these cute flower bouquets - and called my visiting teaching good for the month.

Road Trip

So this weekend I drove back to Des Moines Iowa with Lauren - I loved it! Friendly people, green, more green and streams that run through middle of neighborhoods!

Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Nebraska and finally Iowa - 24 hours in a car -life is great.

New Mexico - we found a great hotel - we had to take a picture of - does this just not say "we sell our rooms by the hour". Lauren and I were glad we just needed gas on that street and on our way we went.

However the hotel we did stay at in Albuquerque loved the color orange - hey but the bed did its job of 6 hours of sleep so we could get on the road again for the straight 16 hour shot to Des Moines.

Colorado - Patti will love this picture as I tried to get the state sign and wound up getting bushes! Oh well I know that this picture was taken in Colorado.

Bronco Stadium - how fun is that!

Nebraska - Flat, Flat Flat

I did better on the state sign though!

Iowa - The state sign is in the sky with the freeway signs - its the sign to the far left - once again I know I was there.

The midwest is so pretty, green, friendly people everywhere. Streams run through the neighborhood - I loved it - it was a very fast but amazing trip! I look forward to going back sometime with Lauren and spending more time!

Des Moines Iowa - Mission Accmplished - One day I will have traveld the world!

The Sun will come out....

This weekend my entire family was in Snowflake enjoying the children's play of Annie. Hanna was Miss Hanagan in Cast A and Lily in Cast B. She rocked both roles! Vashtia was a woman on a park bench and 1 of the 8 radio singers in both Cast - excellent job done. Especially in Cast B - when the curtain closed with no one on stage except Vashtia sleeping on the park bench. Marynda was an orphan in both cast and did such a fantastic job with the songs and dancing.

Before the first cast - Hanna - not fully in costume - I love the tie dye, big hair, red lipstick.... 80's look.

Vashtia before the play, working on her homeless look.

Who couldn't love this little orphan?

I love my family so so much and am grateful for their talents. I am blessed to know the sun will come out tomorrow!
