Mother's Day

Look how happy mom is for mother's day!!!!
Mom got this arbor for mother's day from dad, its going to look so pretty for the open house!







Rebekah's first mother's day!!!!! we got the news today, she two months along already and she's been getting really sick, poor her. She's not happy at all right now, but we're hoping she gets better and is more exited about it.



We did get these pictures of celebrating mom's birthday, thank goodness! I have to admit, I was feeling sick and slept through all of this, though.





Haha, Dad got mom 50 Roses for her 50th birthday, aren't they gorgeous?



That's a lot of Roses!!




ok, so last week, lots of things happened, but i was waiting to get pictures of all of it because they were all taken with other people cameras. But I keep asking and i'm not getting pictures from any of them, so i'll just write about it. So on Saturday night was the senior dinner dance and it was soooooo much fun! i wore my black prom dress and i found some wing-tip heels the day before which I am pretty much in love with now. There were lots of cool people there and good food and dancing, it was just a tons of fun.
Also, on saturday, Big John took the family out to eat for mom's birthday. I was at work so I wasn't there, but apparently John hired a singing telegram dressed up as a gorilla to come to the resteraunt. And mom's friend got pictures but we didn't get any, darn!
So sorry again that I don't have pictures of any of this, but I promise, I will keep trying and get pictues on here when I get them!

On wednesday, while i was at la caille, my parents went to the school art show to accept an award for this painting. If you want to look at it, my full portfolio is on facebook.
On Wednesday I went to La Caille for a french clube activity and I took a tone of pictures! It was really cool. we had a five course meal wich consited of bread and Salad for the appetizers, escargot and then sorbet to wash it down. Then a main dish. I got chicken and Kabrina got salmon and we shared. they were amazing! and then of course for dessert, we had flambeax. unfortunately, i didn't get any pictures of it because my camera wouldn't turn on for some reason during those five minutes. sad. and of course the grounds and building are beautiful. this isn't even all the pictures i took!


There are birds everywhere. usually there are a tone of peakocks wandering around but i didn't see any this year. just swans, gease, and roosters.






The resteraunt makes their own wine. this is a pictue of their vinyard. it doesn't look like much cuz its so early in the year so nothing is really growing yet.













snails anyone? they were yummy.




This is flo. He just moved here this year from france.
