Working in the Flower Garden and bunnies

I am so thankful for Mike and his love of taking care of our yard! He loves to make our yard look beautiful and he even has a few daughters that want to help him. Thanks Mike for all you do and girls for helping your dad.







A couple of days later Mike and Ashley are working in the backyard, planting a few more trees and flowers when Mike hit something with the rake, first he thought it was a baby mouse but then realized it was a baby bunny and that their was a nest of baby bunnies. The girls thought they were cute and have loved watching them change every day...then they got big enough to leave and haven't come back...sad for them, yea for us as they like to eat the flowers.

The trees that Mike planted all along the fence.
Most of these trees will bloom flowers in the summer months.
Mike has really wanted a palm tree so he got one hopefully it wont die.

Look at those baby bunnies.
Why do we think that baby animals are so cute...
even when some of them can grow up to be a nuisance?!

A couple of days later:

End of the Year School Projects and Awards

Kylie was in a school musical,"Pirates!" She had to tryout to get a part and was so excited to get one. She is my little performer. Not only did she have her parts memorized but also many of the other people in the play.

She was a one-eyed Pirate.

Here she is as she is getting ready to speak her part.

Ashley had to do a report on Abraham Lincoln and make a poster about what she learned.

Ashley getting awards for having awesome grades and for having a life skill of respect.

Courtney had a great choir concert just forgot the camera, but it was so fun! She helped choreograph the dance moves. It was awesome!

Here are a couple of pictures of Courtney and Julia dancing on the trampoline.

Then she was awarded: The Best Spanish Student Award and the President Award (that means she got all A's and was commended on the taks test all through Middle School.) What a hard worker she is :) Mike went to this award banquet as I went to Tiffani's the same night..So Courtney missed out of pictures again....but are a couple of cute pictures...what a cutie.




Tiffani had to make a video for an English Project.

I had to do research on a STD..we got syphilis.
(May have to censor this picture from little eyes as it does have graphic pictures.)

We love how Ryan gets into it!

Tiffani last photo journalism project...taking pictures with dolls and making them real...

Then for Math she had to find circular shapes, there is another name she used but I can't remember what it is right now.

I'm Back!!!

This could be a very long post but I think I'll just break it down into a couple....Please be patient as I get myself caught up.... as this is the way that I record what the Chambers have been up to. Here is what we have been up to for the last few months!

The last post was Tiffani going to Prom....then it was her birthday! A few of her friends came and decorated her room....it was a little crazy, but she was glad that they did as they have been having some issues between them.





One of Tiffani's friend asked her if she would take her senior pictures for her...I think she did an awesome job. I asked her if she wanted to take pictures of her sisters for me...she said she would think about it. Here are just a couple of pictures that she took that day...she took a ton and they all turned out so great!


Courtney...has been busy with tennis!

Serving( I think)Getting some advice from the coach.
Running up to hit the ball.
Winning her match...she was so happy!

Courtney then had her birthday...she had a couple of her friends over to watch a movie and to just hang out.

Her friends at school had decided to stuff her locker with her favorite candy and pop...but they got in trouble for stuffing her locker ( I guess it is a rule you cant stuff your friend's locker with candy) and the stuff got confiscated and held in the office until after school.
What fun friends Courtney has!

My Courtney she is just a happy kid...I love her smile and her laugh...She makes our home a happy place!!
Her gifts.
Courtney, Lexi, MaCall, Julia, and Alexis
Watching a scary movie...why do they like these scary movies?

Dancing and Singing...oh what fun!

Ashley had her birthday...she wanted to go clothes shopping...she got some birthday money from her grandma and grandpa Christensen and from us. So Ashley and I went to lunch and shopping it was a fun day hanging out together!

Easter!

Coloring Easter Eggs...it not quite the same as your children get older....Tiffani is either off with friends or working...and Courtney is just to busy to be with us...It makes me sad that my children are getting older but I love seeing them developed into these great young adults. I am just glad that Ashley and Kylie still love coloring Easter Eggs!

Mike coloring eggs...I tell the girls you are never too old to color Easter Eggs.
Ashley and Kylie coloring eggs.
Ashley and Kylie counting the eggs they found...and dividing them up since Courtney and Tiffani didn't want to go on an Eater Egg Hunt with them.

Making Jam!

I love freezer jam, its my favorite...we had just opened our last container... Costco had their big things of strawberries ...so Mike grabbed me a few containers and I made jam....It is so yummy!

All done and now we are stocked for another year!
