Cactus Monday & Mother's Day

Today Missy has gone for an underwater exploration along with cousin, Ralph. They even came across Marlin and Dory. Missy is enjoying it to the core. She had always dreamed of swimming one day. Finally it's THAT DAY!!!


Know what she was even looking for tresure coz she has heard of it in many a tales...treasure hunt tales:)


Happy Cactus Monday!!!

This is a card my daughter made for me yester' in her art class at school with the help of her art teacher. She even hummed the lines in the back of it..."Mommy I Love You" and gave me a tight hug. It was so very sweet:)

Have a Wonderful Day!
