Rockin' Out

And now that she's 2, Annalise thinks it's cool to "Rock Out"!
I wonder where she learned how to do that rocker face??????

Happy 2nd Birthday Annalise!

Oh wow!  Our baby is 2!  It's actually a little hard to believe!  Seems like she was just born!  Now she's running around, climbing on everything and telling us all what to do!
AND what she wants!  She's a girl who knows exactly what she wants! :)  Like this giant koosh ball.  We were at Walgreens for something else and she did NOT want to put the ball back.  In fact, she REALLY wanted her Daddy to carry it all around the store for her.  Needless to say....we did put it back, then I promptly returned without her so it could be one of her birthday gifts!  It was a hit!

Avery got her the BIG gift!  A Barbie Quad.  Annalise thought it was cool that she could have a "Doodle Bug" just like her Gramps!  (Only Gramps doesn't have a cool pink one! :) )  This should be interesting when we get her outside with it.  Guess we'd better be wearing our running shoes.  There won't be any furniture to stop her! :)



And listen to her giggle!!! Priceless!!!




Happy Birthday baby girl! :)

Happy 6th Birthday Avery!!

Happy Birthday to Avery!


She had a FABULOUS birthday! It was a school day so she was thrilled that she would be able to be at school on her birthday! It worked out that both Mark and I could even take her to lunch!

Her party (a luau) was on Saturday.

The weather was fantastic and the kids all had a great time playing pin the coconut on the palm tree, doing the limbo and running around screaming. Good times!

Avery feels well-celebrated!

Mother's Day 2010

What a beautiful day!
The sun was shining and we spent the day together!

I so love being a Mom. :)
Sigh.

Look Out American Idol

Yes...it's true. We've got American Idol wannabes! Well, more like one Selena Gomez wannabe and one Avery wannabe! :)
Here's Avery's version:
(You can even hear Annalise in the background!)




And here's Annalise's song:



Never a dull....or quiet moment in our house. Love it! :)
