The tress are budding and the flowers are blooming.  What a beautiful picture.

Our flower bed that we made last year is overflowing with new growth and I am so excited to see how many flowers we do end up with.  We have bought some sunflower seeds and we are planning on planting the at the side of the house by the front porch.  My Dad always told me that Grandma & Grandpa Bowman had some at the home in Florida.  I remember the pictures, so I am readlly looking forward to having some of our own.  Angela has been asking to plant them.

It is hard to believe that she only has about 5 weeks of school left of school before summer break.  Daddy and I have an appointment for visit the three 1sr grade classes so we can help decide which teacher she will have next year.  I think she will have a hard time leaving Mrs France.  She really loves being in her class.  She has grown up so fast, I can't believe she will be in first grade this fall.

We went to the program at the church that ended Angela's youth group for the summer. The kids did a great job and Angela brought hone a certificate. She is really going to miss going on Wednesday nights.  She will still have Sunday's though.

Daddy has been working really hard with Angela on what the school has classified as "sight words'  She is doing very well at sounding out words.  I am looking forward to working with her this summer and hope to have her reading some before school starts this fall.

Angela loves to go on vacation with her Grandma Pam and Aunt Becky.  Justin didn't go last year so it was just the girls.  Angela is so excited about going she has been packing to get ready to go on vacation.  We keep trying to tell her that Grandma will not let her take everything.  I think it is cute to watch her.  She has every bag and bucket she can find full of toys and and has them all lined up ready to go.

Well enough for now.
