My 1st Mother's Day!!!

My first Mother's Day was pretty uneventful... but B'Elanna made me a card at Preschool and my Mom (Grammy) sent me flowers from herself and B'Elanna.

And B'Elanna and I planted our flowers.   I decided (while in the adoption process) that for Mother's Day each year, we would make up pots of flowers with 3-different colors to represent B'Elanna life.
RED = Me and B'Elanna
WHITE = B'Elanna's birth mother
Yellow = B'Elanna's foster mother and Orphanage Caregivers.




Playing at Bitterroot Gymnastics

Here in Missoula, there is a place called Bitterroot Gymnastics that has open gymnastics every Saturday for an hour-or-so for children under 5.   I have taken B'Elanna a couple of time... and she LOVES IT!!

I think the trampoline is her Favorite Activity...


And then my favorite.... the "Ball Pit"...

And B'Elanna's other favorite this day... the Swing Thingy...

 And when Grammy came to visit... we went to Gymnastics again AND the Carousel...

Swinging... look at those pigtails swing!!
And then we got Grammy into the "Ball Pit"... of course we practically had to get a crane to get her out.  Hehehehehe... the "Balls" kept sinking on her.

And more fun....

And more swinging....

And the Climbing Wall... on another visit from Grammy!!

And then we went to the Carousel!!   B'Elanna LOVED it.    Her face was ALL serious while riding, but as soon as the ride stopped and she had to get off... the Alligator tears started.   I think we rode it about 4-5 times.

Grammy's chosen "Horse" on the Carousel....







I don't want to get off...

Riding in Flintstone Car at Nai Nai's

B'Elanna loves riding in her Flinstone car, so I made sure we brought it to Nai Nai's for her Birthday/Easter celebration....
Maybe if I put pressure on Nai Nai she and Grammy
will take me out to ride in my car... Please, Please Please??
Finally... in my car with my Charlie...
(Charlie)  OK girlie... watch where you are going...
We don't want to crash... no seatbelts back here!!
Hey!!  I told you NO Backseat Driving, Charlie!!
Heaven save me from Backseat Drivers!!
Oops... missed the road!!
I want to go THAT WAY!!




 And then we took a break in the community gazebo...
I parked my car and am now ready to RELAX!!
Grammy and Nai Nai
If only I had been adopted into a family of singers and entertainers.... I am so ready!!
