My little Girl Scout

Girl Scouting was a big part of my life growing up. I was a Girl Scout for 12 years, I went to Girl Scout camp every summer and I earned my Gold Award when I was a senior in High School. Now Alison is old enough to be a Girl Scout, she joined a Daisy troop in the fall, and I am so excited. She had her investiture a few weeks ago and her first event Saturday night. The event was fun, especially seeing some of my leaders. I have to say, after experiencing this event as a scout, a leader and now a parent, being a parent is the most boring. Here are some pictures of my little Girl Scout:

This is her whole troop at the investiture:


This is Emma, Caroline, Ali, Madison and Logan at the event singing their song:


And Caroline, Ali, Madison and Logan closer. Ali and Caroline are best friends, have been since the first day of kindergarten. They are inseperable, they also look quite a bit alike and act alike. Two peas in a pod! Logan is a close second, she is in a different K class, but goes to the afterschool program with them.

so much to update!

So much to update on, so little time! the big fun news is that I finally figured out how to get pictures and movies off of my phone and music on. So for today, here are some great pictures off of my phone.....

Ali's picture of Martin Luther King, Jr. Hanging up in her school on the wall:

I swear I have never let her watch South Park!!

Next is some pictures from almost a year ago. This is from the building we used to work in. It was an old dilapitated building, and these flowers were growing in the steps. I loved them, felt it was such a great metaphor!

Here is a picture of my lovely new haircut. As you can tell, I was goofing off in my car taking this picture. I do love the haircut.
And lastly, here is my sweet girl. Love her bangs?? She wanted them, and I of course let her. I think they look fantastic. Her hair is no longer in her eyes and face. She looks so darn cute. She is hugging her bear that Cheryl got her when she was about 6 months old. Like her coat? She is such a military girl!
