Other fun things at Sweet Berry Farm







Big Surprise: Chance to jump on the big balloon trampoline like at Yogi Bear campground, face painting-Anne wanted to be a cat just like at Halloween and Jamie wanted a full face of a winter scene with a tree and a church, train, horses and goats, etc.

Strawberry picking 2012






We made the long drive to Marble Falls to Sweet Berry Farm. James found a heart/love berry that he proudly showed off to everyone. The kids enjoyed find the biggest, reddest strawberries.

Michelle's wedding - March 4, 2012

Michelle's wedding March 4, 2012
Here are a few wedding highlights in an album.

Michelle and Andre - March 4, 2012

Michelle Thompson and Andre Rone were married on Sunday, March 4, 2012, at Green Pastures in Austin, TX.

pictures vs. video

Rebekah Fountain did all the flowers and took the professional pictures. Michelle asked me to try and video tape the ceremony and I had to figure out how to do the music on the cd player outdoors. So I only got a few photos.

Salon

Michelle wanted everyone up early and at the salon. Of course, she was late. I took the girls up there at 7am, and they didn't get their hair done until 8am. I had gotten a perm in January so all we had time for was to brush mine out. And Anne lost her ribbon while playing. Then we had to go straight to Green Pastures to get ready there.

Dinner at Red Lobster




When my sisters got off the plane, we all went to Red Lobster for Michelle's last night as a single lady before the wedding.

Chinese project

Jamie had a lot of projects she was trying to get done before the Aunts came to visit. This is one of them - she made a refrigerator full of food items - all labeled in Chinese. While they were here, she had to write 15 sentences in Chinese about our family. And she made a Eat This, Not That for Kids book study summary poster. She was up late every night for weeks.

Girl Scouts - My Park Day







Jamie's friend, Amanda, signed up the girl scout troop to work during the My Park Day at her park next to her house. Her mom had an emergency appendectomy. So Happy and I stayed with the girls while they moved rocks and spread out dirk on the new trail for about 3 hours on Saturday morning, March 3rd.

Anne and the Cat in the Hat

We found hats for the kids at her school to wear on Friday, March 2nd. And we read the Cat in the Hat and other fun books all week.
