I am having a proud moment right now..Trae came home from band orientation camp around 6:30p and announced that he was "section leader" tonight! He was very proud of himself..he said that he received numerous compliments tonight about his MAJOR improvement this year..compared to his first year of marching band last year. He is training 3 other band members..2 baritone and 1 trombone..WOW! I feel like putting a huge banner on our porch..it would read (I have the worlds greatest son!)..I am so proud of him..my feathers are all spread out right now..like a peacock:)

Tuesday evening @ Maggiano's..

Izabelle & her friend Kelsey..before dinner..they look so grown up! Izabelle is modeling an A.C.T.G.F. Original..I love these polka dots:)

I thought this was a great picture of mom & Tammy..dad is a little squinty..but he still is handsome..isn't he?

I didn't get very many good pics at Maggiano's..it was very dark in there..but the food was AWESOME!

*********************************************************

Mom, Tammy, me, Rich, Mattie & Izabelle went downtown to check things out..before Tammy had to fly home Thursday..we stopped at an old fashioned soda shop..

Izabelle attempting to be a "Blues Brother"...silly child of mine:) She hates the camera..can you tell?

Time to leave..we hated to see Tammy leave..Rich hasn't seen his sister in like 10 years? This was the first time I got to meet her..and I love her all ready:)

*********************************************************

Mattie enjoying her first *Nutty Buddy* minus the Nutty..we have not given her peanuts, peanut butter, etc. yet..just a little freaked out about it..

This last one is when the *Nutty Buddy* had expired to the trash can..she was not happy! Look at that poor pitiful face..awww:(

Oh..and last but not least..

No grilling until these little fellas hatch..mom and Tammy convinced me to leave them alone until the babies are born..I mean hatched..I had considered just getting rid of the nest..so I could clean my grill (yes my grill)..and get to grilling..but then I decided if I did that..it would be sort of like abortion..yea I know..only in my mind..so I can't do that..I do not believe in abortion..I just wouldn't be able to sleep at night!

So..stay tuned..maybe I can catch some great shots of the new Spring babies:)

****National Scrapbook Day is just a few short hours away.....May 3rd!****

If you made it through this l*o*n*g post..then give yourself a pat on the back..you deserve it! :)

Nighty-night!
