Sparty On!

A couple more...getting excited for the game!! GO STATE!

Big MSU game today, so we had to break out the MSU cheerleader uniforms and get some pictures! It might be IMPOSSIBLE to get a decent a picture of the girls together both smiling (I would have had several if not for Marianna's fake smile....)!

Then my attempt to photomerge this picture...

ETA: The cheerleading outfits brought our Sparty's good luck! MSU defeated Tennesse and now are in the FINAL FOUR!!! GO STATE!

Picasa Black and White

I love playing around with black and white pictures!! Here are some repeats from the egg hunt in black and white.

Easter Egg Hunting

Today was Marianna's first Easter Egg hunt! We have never been to one because usually we are California when all the festivites take place. The first (of the two) Easter egg hunt, was in our Georgetown neighborhood. Marianna had a great time hunting for eggs, decorating cookies and playing with all the kids!

A little cookie decorating to get the party started!

My friend Annita is having her third boy!! ...and she had time to plan this great morning!

A little coaching and she was off!

It didn't take her long to get the hang of it...that it was a race!

Showing off all her winnings...

...and counting the loot....

Then, more cookie decorating!

It was such a fun day. She is currently out with Daddy for egg hunt #2!

Midvale Art Gallery

Sunday afternoon I took Marianna over to the Birmingham Art Gallery where Midvale was hosting their annual Art Show. Each class presented 3 original works of art from each student and they were displayed so nice in frames for us to purchase and take home. So off I went, without DJ, because there was 6 minutes left in the MSU tournament game...

Here is the art wall from Marianna's "Brown Bear" class...

There was also a lot to see and do, Marianna loved using markers to color on the glass...

Marianna loves her teachers Ms. Stephanie and Ms. Kristin...

Bridget, our friend from across the street is in the 4 year old class and Madeline is in her class...Madeline and Marianna are great friends!

Marianna was so excited to get home to show DJ her works of art!

Laying them all out to show me how she wants to hang them in her bedroom...

The proud artist....

Oh, by the way...this is what I missed...

Only the best game ever!! Way to go State with the game winning shot!! (No wonder my phone was blowing up at the show!!!)...
