No More Kindergarten

My baby had her kindergarten graduation! On to first grade. This is NB introducing herself in spanish.



Family picture with mom, dad, grandpa Ed and grandma Marcia. I love the look on NB's face.



The school had field day at Gas Works Park. It was a fun time filled with over a dozen relay events. The kids were exhausted at the end of the school day. Notice how much taller NB is?



Cute kitty picture! They are the best of friends and very cute together.



Okay, this is the last picture Colin took with my camera before he broke it! My own fault for letting him use it. I think I may have been wishing that it would break so I could get a new one! Any suggestions on a digital SLR camera? Medium price range.

Rite of Spring

The starlet! NB had her ballet recital on Saturday. They did a cowgirl dance and it was very cute. Sorry about the bad pictures, but no flash photography and my camera doesn't like that. Mabye it's time for a nice digital SLR!











Proud girl bringing her mom a rose!



Daddy's girl!



As NB likes to call them--the big girl ballerinas.

New Kitty!

I am a weak person when it comes to an adorable Siamese kitty! My neighbor found a kitty on Craigslist and wanted me to come and see them with her. Well, how could I say no especially when accompanied by your six year old. As anyone who knows me can attest to I have a big weakness for Siamese. She is a Seal Point just like my sweetheart, Misha. Now I have a blue and a seal! She is scarred but doing well. Angela has the lynx point. See, Kristin, you started it!



New yarn for Tempting sweater from Knitty. It is Debbie Bliss Rialto, seven skeins. I am about five inches, so a LONG way to go.



NB with her top from Chris in England! Doesn't she look gorgeous, Chris?



M next door turned into a princess! How cute is she?

Hemlock Ring Finished!

I started the Hemlock Ring blanket back in March. It is based on a 1942 doily pattern and updated by Brooklyntweed.blogspot.com It was a little challenging in the beginning. I would do it with no interruptions. My Dad didn't know the rules of knitting and talking while doing lace pattern. I used Malabrigo Worsted yarn in the color Paris.



We went to the Woodland Park Zoo with Eva and Shelley. I can't believe all three kids looked at the camera at the same time! They had a great time and saw the new penguin home. Very nice.





Colin and Eva driving the tractor.



Colin, my little photographer, took this picture of Chai! It looks pretty good.



NB on her new Barbie scooter.



We have had very HOT weather this week, so to escape I took the kids to Discovery Park. It's so shady and cool there. They have a great kids play area with a zip line, which NB just loves. There are also tons of hiking trail and a beach and lighthouse.
