Spring is time for Baseball

Monday's are my favorite.  No matter what kind of a day you have had...ML baseball warms your heart.  I have such a good time with these kids.  And they absolutely love being there!

my personal fav...love the tongue sticking out...such concentration!

Slugger is focused.  He tries to hit the first pitch and he will chase after it!  Last night he hit two homeruns.  One went way over the centerfield fence.  With those long arms, he can get quite a bit of power.

Lighthouse

Still working on fixing the salt shaker picture.  But in the meantime...I got help from Rhonda's class.
This is supposed to be the Pensacola lighthouse.  I would like to go check it out for myself.  Hmmm...roadtrip!

Announcements

When you find out that you didn't order enough announcements...don't panic.  Just call your crafty bestie.  She will come up with a great solution and make it look awesome!!  I helped (sort of)...by using the paper cutter.

Senior Prom

The end of senior year has been a flurry of activity.  Last weekend was prom.

They look so cute together.  Wish I could find the pics from middle school when they went to church together.  Tdawgs hair was long and hers was short... nothing like the awkward middle school years.

Just friends...they are so much alike...goofing off the whole time!  She ended up out dancing him.  Quite the accomplishment!

With me...looking sharp!

Garden Progress

They bloomed!  Always fun to start from a seed. According to Sharika, these are the N word (no not THAT N word)  Nasturtiums.  Yes they are hard to pronounce.  We just call them Purdy.

My neighbors contribution to our front garden.  Sundrops, also known as Evening Primrose

And the mint is going crazy!  You can't even see the angel anymore.  Looks like I need to make some Mojitos this weekend!

Springtime Beauty

My mint (for mojitos) is doing great!

had to move the tulips, they apparently do not like their new home.

Irises always make me think of my mom.  She had them in every color all the way down the long driveway.  Just got some ruffle-y orange "sunset" ones.  Can't wait until they bloom!

the dianthums are left over from a women's retreat (thanks Sherry!)

American Pickers - Nashville

We took a roadtrip up to Nashville to check out American Pickers' Nashville store.  I was hoping to find something to put in my Hoosier cabinet.  But there was not much there.  But it was still fun to pole around.  Then we went to Cool Spring mall.  I purchased nothing the whole day #ShoppingFailure

 so cute...but where can I put it?

Sunflowers

it looks better in the Michael's clearance frame.  And much better in person.

Sharika's Sunflower Batik

As I go to these classes, it still amazes me how everyone gets the same material and and same instructions...and each picture is so different.  As with decorating, a little bit of you goes into each piece of art.  I guess that is why most artists are critical of their own work...and like others better.  I like Sharika's better than mine...and she said she liked mine better than hers.
