Mom and I went to see Wicked, on Wednesday, can i just say I would see it a million more times.... I LUVed~it!!! It was so good. I am fixing to buy the soundtrack I loved it so much!!! I am trying to convince Ken to go with me now... BUT.. it is only here a few more days so I doubt I will get to go again...BUT... Ken mentioned it is going to Austin next...HMMMMM??????
This is me before Wicked... I wore a RUBY RED blouse but not ruby red slippers... I wore leopard heels. I thought I looked cute so I snapped a shot of myself.
This is Elphaba...or Elphie like Galinda calls her. Anyways she is the Wicked Witch. Beautiful right??? Anyways her real name is Donna Vivino and she sings Defying Gravity and it will give you GOOSE BUMPS!!!!
This is Galinda, now known as Glinda, she is a riot...this was surprisingly a pretty funny play...she is played by Katie Rose Clarke and she sings wonderfully!!! AND IS HILARIOUS...my favorite was the song Popular!!!!

We have been busy like ALWAYS!!!
We all went to the end of the year party for my work. Drew got to play in the sink... THANKS AUNT LEEANNE!!!!
At the party, my good friend Kari's little one fell asleep on the rug and his big brother decided to take this opportunity to poke a little fun at him!!!
Drew is eating stage 2 and 3 food now with an occasional table food. One of the things he LOVEs to do is put his foot up while he eats. As you can see, he is really enjoying his dinner!!! His favorites are mac and cheese and any fruits!!!
We went to a Stanley Cup Party...YEAH PENGUINS!!! while there... Drew met up with T-Bone the local hockey team's mascot. They are buds... I hope Drew continues to not be scared of mascots because it will make future trips to disney enjoyable. Drew also met up with one of his many girlfriends....Sarah... she is too cute!!!
We went in for our 9 month check up... NO SHOTS!!!! YEAH!!! This is Drew and his Nurse Miss Nadia. Drew really loves her and she loves him... He always gives her a BIG smile!!!! Miss Nadia gave Drew some gifts...
FREE FORMULA!!!! YEAH!!!
While at the DR, Drew loves to shred the paper... It keeps him happy so we just let him go at it...
At the end of our visit...EVERYTHING is right on track... he is average in wt and ht and above average for head size...surprised??? yeah me neither.... BIG BRAINS... the Dr. did say he is very smart and strong & that he is one of the cutest she has seen...surprised...yeah me neither.... he weighs 20lbs. 12 oz. and is 27 3/4 inches long... well I guess that is our last few weeks in a nutshell... not too much on our calendar coming up... Father's Day is all I can think of right now...

This week I am officially on vacation BUT I am in mandatory workshops til Wednesday so SUMMER BEGINS WEDNESDAY!!!!
We have had a momma bird make a nest in our bird house on our porch and the babies keep jumping out. Drew, the dogs, and I go out there as much as possible to make sure they aren't on the ground and put them back in the house...this is ok if you do it quickly... the momma bird usually is right by the bird house when I pick them up and put them back in and she immediately feeds them so I am sure she hasn't rejected them...her nest building techniques are questionable if you ask me??!!?? The babies are too cute though....
Last weekend we went to visit Grandpa Everett and Grandma Maggie on their farm... Drew saw cows for the first time. He wanted to pet them but got licked instead it was funny. It was really sweet how all the baby cows came to the fence to see him... Grandpa Everett had fun showing Drew his garden....IT WAS A GREAT SUNDAY AFTERNOON!!!
On Saturday, we went to Market Days...Drew got hot and a little fussy FUSSY....soooo....Paw Paw took him to the covered patio to sit under the fans and to listen to some guitar playing and singing!!! HE LOVED IT!!! He tapped his hands on his knees and stared at the gentleman singing... he finally cooled off and had a drink of bottle and we decided to head out...He didn't want to leave... you can see the frown on his face when we left the pavilion.
Every weekend we have been going to my in-law's house to go swimming. Drew loves it. I like to swim too... their pool is perfect!!! It is totally shaded by 5:30 and therefore I don't have to SLATHER Drew in sunscreen he just gets one coat!!! I have had skin cancer so I am a little addicted to SUNSCREEN!!! JUST A LITTLE!!! (sarcasm)

We got Drew his first pool. Well it isn't really a pool it is more like a splash and play thing. It really worked out great. He loves playing in the water and since it is REAL shallow he could crawl around and splash all he wanted. We invited cousin Kaleb over for some fun too. They had a blast!!! Drew did not want to get out. He had to take a bath after because his sunscreen obsessed mother SLATHERED him up pretty good!!! 
here are some more pics if you're real nosey!!!

Ok so tonight I sat here, at my computer, and I was having my daily panic with the SWINE FLU thingy going around... oh excuse me H1N1 flu... i call it the flying piggy flu.... anyways I was sitting there looking at Drew and thinking about this flu thing. For days it has made me sick... I DON'T HAVE IT... and no one I know has it.... I literally have made myself sick worrying over it. I have an industrial sized bottle of hand sanitizer at school ( my 3rd graders call it hand-a-tizer.. so now I call it that too), I have a big container of Clorox wipes, and numerous personal size handatizers. My 3rd graders wipe their desk and chair as soon as they come in in the morning and right after lunch. Whenever they leave the room they must use the handatizer before coming back in... up to their elbows because that is where we cough and sneeze now. CAN YOU TELL I HAVE GONE MAD!!???!!!
Well tonight I was thinking about it again and then WHAP!!! I thought about a friend of mine... his sister and I played soccer together and now his sister and I have reconnected through our BLOGS!!! OK... so I was thinking about the flying piggy flu and then BAM!!!... ALEX popped into my head. Tonight I know God was telling me get over it (flying pig flu) your being selfish. I started to think about Alex again.
Alex has battled a rare form of heart cancer 2 times successfully and now is battling it again but this time it is inoperable. Through his sister's BLOG and Facebook I have been keeping up with his story. Through Facebook a lot of friends from high school got together and held a fundraiser for Alex and his family in Austin. Ken and I were unable to make it because Ken ended up working late that night. Since that day, I have felt like I should do something... maybe it is donate... maybe it is to spread his story... I am not sure. Right now, I am thinking that I am going to put some of my art projects on Etsy.com and whatever I make from them I will donate to his foundation. I would love for others to do the same. I am going to contact someone about designing a little Blog tag that fellow bloggers can add to the side of their blog so others can donate or just read about Alex's story!!!
I am in the thought process right now.... it is after all, 1:00 in the morning and Ken and I are taking shifts trying to get Drew to sleep. I know some of you that follow my blog are artsy and know more people that are artsy, if we all get together and put our stuff on Etsy or something and then spread the word through Blogging this might become a big deal and we could do some real good!!!! Let me know what you guys think..... In the mean time here are some links....PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE go check them out... it puts a face to my story!!!
