Katie's graduation from Kindergarten morning!!! (No, mom did not suggest a white dress- that was her idea!! :-) But, she DID manage to keep the red punch from spilling on her- hee, hee, hee)

We almost never have a picture of Shawn and I... one of us is always behind the camera!!! This is fuzzy- granted- but, here we are!!!! It is something I don't think about, until I have waded through tons of pictures and this one catches my eye as....different... oh, yeah... we are BOTH in the picture :-) I sure LOVE my honey~ so grateful he married me <3

KATIE and BEAR WORLD!!!! I got to go on a fieldtrip with Katie's kindgtn. class~ I love bear world. We had soooooo much fun that day (I have about 80 picutres from this day) It was a fabulous Katie and Mommy day~ what a sweetheart- and, I love bears- especially baby bears.... amazing day- happy Tara day!

I am currently a cub scout leader... and here is my crew ;-) (love my Caleb) we visited the police station today... it was very refreshing to take a "fiedtrip"

Fun with goldfish!!!! goldfish crackers are so yummy and fun.... what cuties!

Happy Mother's Day to me~ I LOVE hanging plants on the porch~ Almost love them as much as the windows... :-)

okay- can't get over the windows... everyone is enjoying the windows (even the pets)... and we had two rooms that had attic type windows... which now have full sized windows~ it has made an enourmous difference in our home~ I LOVE our windows!!!!

After.... WOW... it has made such a huge difference~ I LOVE our new windows.... we can't thank Alan enough- amazing job. We will have a warmer winter!!!

Before.... when we had a few window problems....

This was a mom is very wrong moment. Yes, it happens often. But, this was exceptional. Katie brought in a little piece of tree that had been broken off and asked if we put it in water- would it do anything? I told her that it most certainly would not do anything. Well, she put it in water anyway.... thankfully.... it was a beautiful moment to be wrong~

Who says you gain weight playing video games?? Not at our home- you should have seen Caleb and Hunter jumping on the little trampoline while playing their game.... Caleb ALWAYS jumps like crazy during a game ANYWAY- even without a trampoline...but, this was a pretty funny sight!

More girl moments.... playdough and pet shop....sigh.... I love it~

Mariah, Katie, and their little friend Kora taking time out to color... coloring moments are right up there with park moments in my book~
