The Mona Lisa is nothing

Well we set out to paint Johnny's room...John had the closet. Here he was able to stay out of the line of fire except for the smiley face he got on his cheek.
Johnny got it from behind....hee, hee, hee!!!!

K'Lee was a sweetheart and made lunch for everyone. Thanks K-K

A'leese and Natalie got each other.

Natalie dumped some paint on the floor so we had a little extra ammunition.

Everyone seemed to get got at this point. Everyone but JOHN.

A pictures worth a thousand words......

This is the way things started out just a little rub on the nose. Like I said the Mona Lisa is nothing... this is ART.

ELVIS

ELVIS is an amazing pet. K'Lee is enjoying having his wings clipped

so he can come out of the cage.
Johnny was the first one to get Elvis to sit on his shoulder.
He LOVES Johnny.

Natalie is so happy. She really wanted a bird... it's fun to have an

animal in the house that no one is allergic to.

Even A'leese loves the feathery fun.

I don't know who is more unsure A'leese or Elvis?

The "magic bow"

Miranda came to our house to visit...and while she was here she happened upon the "magic bow". Not fully realizing its true potential she placed it in her hair and stated that if she were to wear it to school she would be asked to prom... Several days later when she was stressed about finals, and still not asked to prom, she snuck over early one morning on her way to school and retrieved the "magic bow". She placed it in her hair and headed off to school. Needless to say it did its trick, her day was good and she was asked to prom. I won't tell her the magic is within her... she is really what is magic about the bow. But I will make her wear it if for just a little bit at prom... so she never forget the power that comes from the "magic bow".

Ransom

What goes up must come down... Johnny decided to go to his Jr. Prom. YEAH!!! So he made a ransom note and took it over to Kristina's house. He cut out every letter of the message that read, "If you want to see your bear again agree to go to the Prom with John Perry or else leave 2,500,000.00 in small bills under the slide at the park." He took Kristina's teddy bear and left the note in it's place.
Kristina cut several skittles apart, scooped out the insides and placed a message back that when pieced together read, "Your answer is under the slide at the park." When he got to the park there was a brown paper bag taped under the slide filled with fake 20's and on one of them was written YES. She got the bear back and Johnny got to roll in his ransom....How fun is that?

This is how K'Lee makes her bed. It was so cute I had to take a pic of it. All of her animals have a certain place and they all have feelings. The extra time she spends to make it special for them makes me grin. She will make a good mom someday.

Sweat-Hearts dance

A'leese and Zak went to see Avatar, dinner, here for a game of extreme aggravation (which Zak won) , and then to the dance. I think they had a good time. Zak is a SWEETHEART!

SNAPSHOTS

Snapshots are the little glimpses into the where and when of our happiness. I was looking at some old pictures and the feelings of these moments came flooding back like a gift from Father-Time himself. I thought I'd share a couple of my favorites.

Johnny after crazy hair day at school. He ALWAYS makes me laugh.
A beautiful day with John at Blacksmith Canyon (when is it not beautiful?) We were up raking leaves.

Walking around Peach Days with Stephanie and Natalie.

This is one of my very favorite pictures of all time. Me and my siblings being siblings. Daniel always seems to get the worst of it...wonder why?

Whitney and A'leese just hanging out on a summers day. I sure do love the Ropers and A'leese ain't bad either.

Camping with Doug. What more can I say? He is so funny...He had just taken a plastic fork and done his hair. I think he has watched The Little Mermaid one to many times.

Stephanie and some of her crew. She is always sparkling even when the sun isn't quite hitting her at the time she manages a glitter here and there.

Grandma and Grandpa in the middle of the entire group of children and grandchildren, camping none the less. This should tire anyone and yet they keep on ticking. Guess it was all of the good four square we played all day long.

Cierra and her birthday cake Miranda and A'leese made for her. She is such a ball of sunshine. I just can't express how much Cierra brings to the world. She is amazing.

Well that's all for now cuz I need to do other things but I wanted to share a glimpse into my bursting heart. I am so glad I have such wonderful friends and family. God has blessed me in so many, many ways.
