UPDATE: So I just received an email from Grandma Kathy, as she just happens to work at the same school Luke is attending... and she just let me know:
so I wanted to tell you the rest of the story about Cowboy Luke. After Luke came in the building the photographer for our yearbook was taking pictures of some of the kids so she had Mr. Hallock (the principle)and Luke stand by each other and took a picture of them. So now because he was just a little bit late. . . he will be in the yearbook with Mr. Hallock! And another funny thing . . . since the horse was not allowed in the classroom he parked it by Grandma's desk and he brought my versace candy dish next to the horse so that he could "eat". Hilarious!
and by the time I picked her up I had sold a couple of the skirts that she was wearing....how did that happen???
I would offer them in this same natural cotton fabric but with different ribbons and either with the tulle or not..
If you click on the picture below you should be able to read the poem..WARNING.. it is a tear jerker!
I was suprised at how well she was walking around in them too..she didn't fall once!!
So of course I whipped out the camera and was taking a couple pictures and what do you know here comes Mr. Luke..."Mommy, take a picture of me too, look I have daddy's cool shoes on"
Too funny!
I asked Kyle if he thought they would be okay in the heat and he just looked at me and said, "Cara, their Desert Tortoises..." ohhhh
Let's just say that they were beyond delicious..enough so that Kyle almost ate the entire 9X9 pan by himself in 2 days!
How cute would these shoes look with your favorite pair of jeans
Oh how I do love thee Williams and Sonoma..
And what have we here??
The bird had actually gotten stuck in his front grill and was still alive!!!!!
He said he went to go get some pliers to get the bird out of there and was dreading that he would find that the bird would be mangled and as he was seperating the grill and all of a sudden the bird flew out and away it went!!
That is one tough bird!
So we were driving home on Friday after I picked the kids up from school, and I was talking about how excited I was about the Olympics, and how when we got home we were going to be watching the Opening Ceremony. I went on to explain what the Olympics was the best I could to a 3 and 5 year old, so I said something along the lines of that athlete's from around the world would be competing in all different types of sports to see who was the best. I went on to say we would get to watch basketball, volleyball, gymnastics, swimming....and just as I said swimming Luke interrupted and said "Mommy, if they want the best boy in swimming then I need be there, because I can swim really good!"
So here on her wall over the original canvas I did with scrapbook paper and her baby pictures hangs my version of the butterfly canvas.. 
Also, I saw this really cute idea about using a picture frame and some ribbon to use as a place to keep your child's hair clips. So I had the white frame and some muslin and cute ribbon that matched her room and Voila!
I think it turned out pretty cute. Hailie really ended up liking her room so that made mommy happy.
The lunch was made.. 
The new backpack, shoes and outfit set out with care..
In hopes that the first day of school soon would be here..
While visions of glue sticks danced in his head..
When, what did his wondering eyes should appear..
but his peeps Lorenzo and Jacob were awaiting him there..
A wink of his eye, and a wave of his hand, soon gave me to know that I had nothing to dread..
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his line 
And away they all went like a flock full of ducks..
Happy First day of Kindergarten to all, and to all the best of luck!
