Double Celebration

-
It doesn't happen too often, but today I got to enjoy the double celebration of Mother's Day and my birthday! When I was little my Mom said that on my birthday I was very sad and pouty all day. When she asked me what was wrong I responded with, "It's my special day and I have to share it with you!". Now that I am older and wiser (yeah right!) I am honored to celebrate these days together. I can't think of a better birthday gift than being a mom!

We had a full fun-filled day today! It started with flowers from my sweet husband and kids! Then we headed out for our annual Mother's Day brunch at the Mesa Country club with Grandma Greta, Pardner, and the Campbell Clan. It is always so much fun to get to see everyone! After that we headed to Grandma and Pardner's house for our May birthday family celebration. Most of our family's birthdays are in May, so we always hold one big birthday party to celebrate. Next it was home for a family nap! We were all exhausted! For the rest of the afternoon Jacy and I scrapbooked together while the boys watched TV and then Jay and the kids took me to dinner at the Texas Roadhouse where I got to sit on the saddle and celebrate being 21 all over again! I love my family! My kids are awesome! They can be a handful at times, but they bring so much joy, happiness, adventure, love, laughter, and humor into our lives. I am so honored to be their mom and I feel so blessed to have them in my life!
At school the kids made Mother's Day gifts that were delivered by the teacher today. I now have the cutest apron decorated with Jacy's hand prints! I LOVE IT! They also filled out a questionnaire in class...
1. My mom's nickname is: SWEETHEART
2. My mom is as tall as: Two houses stacked on each other
3. My mom weigh's as much as: A calendar
4. My mom is as old as: A baby
5. My mom's hair is the color of: A horse and vanilla ice cream
6. My mom's eyes are the color of: The trees in the forest
7. The funniest thing my mom ever did was: mix up my friend's name
8. I love my mom because: She has a nice face
9. My mom loves me bacause: I go give her a drink

Ha Ha! Not sure where those answers came from, but I LOVE THIS LITTLE GIRL!
Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful Moms' out there!

Native Drums

For the past 6 weeks Jayne's class (all the 4th and 5th graders) at school have been working with a resident artist learning about the  Tlingit (KLING kit), the Haida (HIGH duh) and the Tsimshian (SIM she ann) native tribes of Southeast Alaska. They have learned how to introduce themselves in the native tongue. They have learned about the art and form styles used in totems and the meanings behind the symbols. They even had the opportunity to make a deer skin drum (Goo-jow), including soaking the deer skin and stretching it over the wood drum frame and letting it set until it hardened. Once it was completely dry they got to draw their chosen native symbol on the drum and the paint it. They look SO COOL! They even made their own drum stick using a stick, fabric, buck leather, and deer tendon, which was used as the string to tie it all together. This past week the students performed for the rest of the school, singing a song/chant in the native tongue. It is a welcome message...

Whale Watching

This weekend was BEAUTIFUL weather!!!  We have all been feeling a little under the weather, but we have made sure to get outside a little each day.  On Saturday we were fortunate enough to be downtown by the cruise ships docks and caught a few glimpses of a humpback whale!  When they bubble feed you can see a ring of bubble start to surface on the water and then they come straight up the center with open mouths to feed.  It is so cool to see them!  They are really big!  Sunday afternoon was a nice drive to all the great spots that we love to view the ocean from.  It was a gorgeous sunset!  Someday I still can't believe that we live here!!!
