Spring if FINALLY here!

Here is our beautiful Cherry Tree in bloom! I love it. The blooms on it are gorgeous. Our yard has amazing Spring flowers. After our winter I am ready for spring flowers and weather. Sun for more than two days in a row would be lovely.



A view from our living room window! Spectacular.



This is our Tree Peony. I am not sure what variety, but the blooms are incredible. This is the bloom in the morning.



This is the bloom in the afternoon. The flowers stay on the tree for quite awhile, so come by and see it.



This is the Bleeding Heart.



Friday Night was La Fiesta Latina at NB school. There a potluck, crafts, performances... A Latin Dance Troupe was performing... Can you tell which child doesn't belong? Where is NB? Yes, there is my daughter up on stage with the dance troupe!?



They had her dance on center stage and here are the pictures! She was not the least bit shy. Nice of the troupe to share their performance.

Where's Toto?

This past weekend I made a trip to wichita, Kansas to see Ian. The last time I was in Wichita I was 10 years old, so I was excited to see it again after all these years. It is actually a pretty fun city full of great steak houses and BBQ. As many of you know, I LOVE BBQ. Wichita is a carnivore paradise! I may have to be a vegetarian for a week or so to put my body back in balance.

My friends Jodi and Mark came up from Oklahoma City. First we went to have lunch at B&K BBQ, it's a meat-fest buffet. This restaurant looks like it is in an old barn with chandeliers on the ceiling with live blues music. Sorry no pictures, apparently, I was too busy eating and visiting.



After lunch we went to see a house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. It was beautiful. Next time we will have to arrange for a tour http://home.onemain.com/~allenlam/.



The beautiful garden concrete vases around the perimeter of the yard. Inside there is a beautiful garden and koi pond.





Mark and Ian looking at all the beautiful houses. You can tell Ian is really studying the architecture.



Coolest mailbox ever at the Cowtown Museum. We didn't go in as they were preparing for the Cowboys Ball!



Colin's scootering outfit--hat, scarf, diaper and shoes. It was a warm day and he needed to wear his hat and scarf.
