Skylar's 1st concert

Today was Military Spouse Appreciation Day. Gary Sinise has a band called the Lt Dan Band & today they had a free concert at Ft Leavenworth. Skylar was really good. She started to cry when they announced their last song so we headed back to the car, & we heard them come back out for an encore. The concert was a lot of fun. They played all different kinds of music. Gary plays the guitar, & he talks a lot between songs. It was really nice of him to do the concert. He also performs for the troops over seas. Tomorrow is Larry's Birthday & Sunday is my 1st Mother's Day so we have a busy weekend ahead!

For Mother's Day

One of my best gal pals Jacque, who had my baby shower for me, just sent me this Mother's Day card. It meant so much to me that I wanted to share it.

Spring is here!

We are soooooooo glad winter is over. Kansas is really beautiful in the spring. It is so green with lots of beautiful flowers. All of our neighbors are outside now so we are meeting a lot of nice people. For months now Larry & I take a 2 mile walk every night with Skylar & Taz. There is a beautiful huge house on the Missouri River on a corner lot. Larry has always wanted to see the inside of the house. The lady that owns it (her name is Merry..yes the spelling is correct) saw us outside & welcomed us to the neighborhood with a loaf of her home-made wheat bread! Yesterday she invited us in for a tour of her house. It was beautiful! It was built in 1949 & there is a small plaque inside that lists all of the previous owners. The inside has several bedrooms with bathrooms, a game room, playroom, a photography studio, a print/frame shop, craft room, & a food storage room that looks like a grocery store! She has 10 kids & 19 grandkids (they live in Utah) Her husband is deployed right now. After our tour she invited Skylar & I to a pot luck lunch. She has one the 1st Wednesday of every month. There were about 25 people there. We had a great time. We met lots of interesting people. Merry is a really fun lady & has lots of hobbies. She has her art work/portraits all over the house. She is having someone over soon to teach her how to can veggies & fruits & said she would let me know when! This weekend there is a big flea market down town & in about a month a Farmer's Market will open with locally grown veggies, fresh milk, etc. I'm looking forward to it!

Hanging out with my Daddy

1st I helped Daddy write a paper then I watched a UFC Fight with him. I just love hanging out with him...he makes me laugh.

I'm wearing my fancy outfit

I look like my cousin Anthony

Here is a picture of Anthony when Mommy gave him his 1st haircut. He was about 5 months old & we look so much alike!
