These Sidewalk Masterpieces are from my son’s 3rd grade class last Fall. I was able to edit my photos and brighten and add more contrast. The last photo I’m going to make some cards with; so fun!

Kids and Swimming

I had to share these “swim” photos with you.  My kids did not want to swim in beautiful clear water Lake Chelan. They just wanted to swim in the pool (while on vacation). They love to swim. That’s mostly all they wanted to do! I just love the ripply water with the sun dazzling and sparkling. Doesn’t it make you wanna go for a swim?

Baby Girl Shower

Roshanna, my niece - with her Mother, planned a Baby Shower for the upcoming birth of my Nephew’s baby girl. Lilly Fae. The ADORABLE BABE-EE you are about to see is the expectant Mother’s Niece. This adorable BABE-EE grabbed the spotlight with her neon green headband.

Roshanna's Diaper Cake

Roshanna's Diaper Cake

Now, I digress from Baby a little to share the Diaper Cake that Roshanna made; she found the idea on the internet.  Just roll diapers; secure each diaper with some clear twine; then secure each layer with decorative ribbon.

Petra and Makala BABE-EE!

Petra, my sister in-law has 3 teen daughters now; I bet she is wishing, that maybe, just maybe, they could be as tiny as the BABE she is holding.

Party Favors & Guess what the Baby is Like - Book

Roshanna and Gabi planned some fun games including; Predict Everything About the Baby, Find items in your purse that start with each letter of the Baby’s First and Middle Name, guess how much candy in a jar, and guess how many diapers in the Diaper Cake. Surprisingly, I guessed the closest to both the guessing games – Yes. I was surprised!

I got to hold this Darling Angel Baby for quite some time until she fell asleep in my arms. It was nice! – No, I did not think about having another baby!

Instead of scolding my children when they were having fun knocking all the pretty pink blossoms off the tree, I took pictures.
