1. She was Student of the Week at her school last month (and she picked all those photos herself for the Student of the Week board.)
2. Right now she's singing, "I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in heart (where?) down in my heart (where?) down in my heart, I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy..."
3. When she sings her ABC's, she always leaves out T, U and V.
4. She orders spaghetti everywhere we go lately.
5. Pink is her favorite color.
6. She's been calling me 'Hot Mamma" (Which might have something to do with Josh Downs.)
7. She went on a field trip to Bobbio's Pizza today and Friday, she gets to go to the Grange Co-op to see their baby chicks.
8. Last night she came downstairs crying because she was afraid 'bad guys were going to shoot down her wall.' We don't usually cave in on stuff like that but she was so pathetic that we let her fall asleep on the couch with Josh while he studied.
9. She'd eat strawberries morning, noon and night if we could keep them stocked.
10. She's sitting on the couch with her baby right now saying, "We have to go to the store because we forgot something for dinner." and "You have to walk because I'm not going to carry you, but we can hold hands."
Too cute.. esp the hold hands part!!

Ahahaha so cute! I can't wait until my little has such a definable personality!

Such wonderful moments to remember. I was particularly touched by the alphabet song -- one of my used-to-be-little ones would sing L-L-L-L-P!!!

Just adorable! And I'll bet her collage has the best photos out of all of the collages the kids/moms from her class make.
#2 reminds me of my oldest. He sang that song when he was 3 at preschool. His teacher told me one day that he came out of the bathroom with his pants around his ankles singing "I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart!" at the top of his lungs. So funny!!

So the Ross post brought tears to my eyes earlier and yet I didn't comment 'cause you were at about 131 comments. But, tonight, I only see 6 so far, so...That's a really cute post about Annie. Miss seeing you around in GP. Moving our business to Medford this Summer, so maybe we can get together for lunch or something some day....! (still waiting for the house tour! LOL!!!) I'm having a couple projects featured in Somerset Home in August and thanked them for allowing me to be in the company of.... my fellow Southern Oregon artists, like you.

I have to say you have the cutest kids ever! And that lucky girl, I'm sure, had the best photos for her collage too. You always share the joy, joy, joy - thanks for sharing with us.

My husband had my oldest (a boy) saying, "My mom's hot!" when he was about that age. Yeah... only slightly embarrassing :-) How lucky we are to have men who think we're hot!

And YOU, my dear, are the reason why I am determined not to give up on photography because the pictures that you take and the memories you are making make my heart happy!

Just curious if you print your blog into a book or plan to? If so, do you print one copy or one for each child?
Posted by: Ashley S. | April 14, 2010 at 05:35 PM
She is sooooo cute "hot momma" :)

Way to go on writing all this down, hope your making a fun book to collect all of this in to read in a few years! She is just so cute, I miss that age, I miss my boys being under 11. Now there just bratty teenagers with bad attitudes:) BUT I love them anyway!!
