Jada showing off her first toothless smile. The middle one next to it is already loosening up too. She was the last in her class to get a loose tooth, I think she was afraid it would never happen to her, but I remind her she is the youngest in her class and eventually she will get there too. 
So they started doing show and tell in Jadas class and she decided to show her beloved rock collection. She picks up a rock anytime we go to the desert and insists on taking it home so she has quite a few unusual rocks around her playhouse. We decided to go rockhunting for gemstones at this local "rock-hounding" site where geodes are supposed to be aplenty and the poppies were out in full bloom. All the mountains were yellow, orange and purple with wildflowers. Very pretty, its the first time I have seen the desert in bloom and it's so colorful. We even had some wildflowers blow into Jadas sandbox and grow with no water.
Jada had to make a poster of "100 items" so naturally she wanted to do a cat! We decided we had a ton of mardi gras beads and cut up 100 strands to make the cat, I drew the picture and she filled it in and later painted the background blue and added construction paper grass. All the kids at her school were whispering how cool it was during morning assembly. Jada was very proud of her work.
We, er I painted Jada's bathroom purple the camera actually makes it look a little more purple than it really is...just a real pale shade with flower rub ons "blowing around". All went well until Jada accidentally poured the whole paint tray out into the tub just after i told her not to touch anything but at least it all came up off the tub.
Jada and mike playing with the science experiment kit Jen got us for christmas. The color changing liquid.

Jada on one of her "you can stay up as late as you want" nights. She usually cant last past 9:30, crashed out on the dog.
