Art Night at School

Birthday Party at Mine By Design in Abilene

Saturday morning, we celebrated Brianna's 5th birthday party in Abilene. The Party was at Mine by Design - It's a painting/pottery studio.

Brianna, the birthday girl!

The Ballerina Birthday girl, got a homemade, handcrafted cake made by Erin.



The studio was so colorful. I loved it!

Chey picked a mug to paint.   
While the big kids were painting, Dakota walked around wearing an apron...

or in her case, an over-sized bib. She was eating applesauce.



It was another great day trip to Abilene. While I was in town, I picked up gifts from both sides of the family. Based on how many gifts are already under our tree…the girls were good this year.

Later that night, we went to Prairie Lights with Drew, Amanda and family. We all piled into there SUV, kids and all. The wait to get in the park was 2 hours long! I'm glad I was in good company and it made the lights and wait, worth it.

She's Two & An Artist

You can't tell me you're not impressed. I know she doesn't get that from me. Really, that drawing is cool!

Muffins with Cheyenne

Yesterday, I used a few hours of my vacation time, so I could take Cheyenne to school. It was a special day for us, Chey and I ate muffins together. We gobbled up blueberry goodness and she gave me this original painting. She was so proud of her art work. I do believe we have an artist in the making!

Right before, I took Cheyenne to her classroom, another mom was walking her son to class. I got a kick out of their conversation.
Mother: I'm so excited to eat muffins with you. Aren't you excited?
Little Boy: Noooo.
Mother: Well, I AM.

Thanks for making me tear up. Cute picture of my love + mushy quote = teary eyes. Gosh, I'm turning into my mother. haha. Love you MOM! 

Don't forget Sunday is Mother's Day, so get those cards and gifts now. Mom's out there, do you like cards? I told Trey not to buy me a card. I don't like Valentine's Day and Mother's Day cards, just tell me how you feel or write me a letter and most importantly take that money you'd spend on a card and put it towards the gift...I'm joking (only not so much). Happy Mother's Day Weekend!

Art & Beauty

Here is an image of a sculpture I saw this weekend. Beautiful.

We've been busy this weekend, so it's been hard to post to blogger, but tomorrow I'm hoping to be back to a normal rhythm. I hope everyone had a great weekend. I can't wait to tell you about ours and show you pictures!
