Logan as Margaret Thatcher

Logan had a presentation at school last week for ALPHA (the gifted & talented program).

Each student chose a 20th Century figure to research and portray.

She chose Margaret Thatcher--the Iron Lady.

She did such a great job! She worked hard on her presentation and came up with a great little outfit.

 I am proud of how hard she works at school.

Car Museum

Last weekend we went to Dick's Classic Car Museum in San Marcos, TX with my parents. Every 3rd Saturday evening you can get in free. The museum is fairly new to San Marcos, has only been there a couple years. We've driven past it a gazillion times and had NO idea this is what was inside! I was in awe the whole time we wandered around, staring at these beautiful, amazing vehicles and the pieces of history and art that they are.

My dad and I were drooling over this gorgeous 1958 Corvette! 

A Night of Storms, Lightning, Smoke & Fire

A couple of weeks ago we had a terrible storm come through in the middle of the night with a lot of lightning and thunder. At about 3am, lightning struck the building across from us and caused it to erupt into flames. Casey woke me up when he noticed something out the window and as I rolled over to see what he wanted, I saw that our bedroom window was glowing orange. I immediately asked him if something was on fire, not expecting him to say yes! When I looked out the window, this is what I saw! SCARY!!!

 The good news in all of it, is that everyone got out, no one was injured...and even an old lady's cats were saved!

We ended up being up for the rest of the night watching it with Logan and Mckayla and our good friends who are our neighbors. I will never forget that sight. I had never seen something like this before. To watch someone's home just become completely engulfed in flames and watch helplessly. But way to go San Antonio Fire Department!

Casey took these pictures...no doubt wishing oh so very much that he were fighting the fire instead of just watching it.

Cinco De Mayo Kindergarten Float Parade

Mckayla had a Cinco De Mayo Float Parade at school a few weeks ago. Normally they do this parade during Fiesta, but because of state testing it was delayed. Either way we had to make a float out of a shoebox and go cheer her on at school!

 Tabitha and I went to join Logan in the 3rd grade hall to watch the parade with her.

 Here comes my girl! The kids drag their floats all throughout the school...making two laps, and they do it in the morning and again in the afternoon.

 Mckayla asked me to make her a Shamu float. She has great faith in my artistic abilities apparently.

 It's pretty fun seeing the kids with their floats and getting to show off to their school and family members that come to watch.

 I made Mckayla a t-shirt to wear with her float. She looked pretty adorable and she was so thrilled! She thought she was the coolest kid there that day. Haha.

It looks like an Orca right?!? A square-ish, shoebox kind of Orca?!
