Ok so the flowers that I have no idea what they are, that are coming back up are starting to bud. I can't wait to see what they turn out to be. Then I will take pics so I can remember for next year. There is actually some room to the left of these flowers that I can extend the garden about another foot or foot and a half. I might build over and around it :) We'll see!

These are a bit of a surprise, 3 yellow tulips with red stripes. We've lived in this house since July 2007 and I don't ever remember these coming up before. My mom found them last weekend when she was here - and I am waiting for them to die then I'll transplant them to the back yard with the fire & ice tulips.

These are the Azaleas I planted last year. The first set is starting to bloom, even though the back plant has buds, nothing is peeking yet. Still they both look pretty :)

Ok and here is what you're waiting for - Shiori in her prom dress! Isn't she stunning? Oh she was the belle of the ball - how beautiful is she? I just love her :) So cooperative and sweet. I was very proud of her.

This is just a fun, whimsical picture of Shiori and her date, Ignacio, from Chile. It was too cute so I thought I'd share. She had a great time last night, and doesn't hate me for making her go either :) Which is a really good thing!

We got lots of traditional shots of the two of them. We both agree that this is one of the best ones. We really liked the flowers behind them.
