The Disney Cruise......

As promised, here are some of the highlights of our trip on the Disney Cruise. Sorry it has taken until now to get them up but these are only a few of the 600 pictures I took. To say the least we had a blast!!! Can't wait to go back!


On our way! First plane ride for Sarah Kate! She was a natural, loved every minute!!

Gotta have some lunch before we can play!


Could not wait till our luggage got on the boat- had to borrow a swimsuit from Alexis and JUMP IN!!

The kids had a "PJ Party and Movie Night" in the playcenter while the parents had a fabulous meal!


Back on land and doing some shopping at Downtown Disney until its time for our flight back home...




Being "Pixie Dusted" in the Bibity Bobity Boutique! I think we all still are wearing some of that "dust"- it was a mess!!


Bye, Bye Mickey! See ya real soon!

Wordless Wednesday...

Ok...
So many of the blogs that I read have been doing this "wordless Wednesday" so I thought I'd jump on the bandwagon too. This is the last Wed. that I will use words(aren't you glad??!!).
Enjoy your day!!

 

Day of Celebrations

Today my family had a day of celebrations! We celebrated Sarah Kate's 4th birthday (again), my Uncle Sonny's birthday, my Grandmother's birthday and Father's Day. We headed up to Dalton to my cousins Kay and Paul's house and pool. We (Kay) grilled burgers and dogs and all the fixins. We had birthday cake, banana pudding (still warm right out of the oven), and mini chocolate pies (compliments of my Grandmother- who will turn 88 yrs old on Tuesday!!). We swam, ate and swam some more! We all had a great time watching SK show off her swimming skills and Hadley going for one of her first "dips" in the pool. Its days like today that make me so glad that I have such a close family and a little sad I don't live closer! I love you guys!!

Happy Father's Day!!!

Here are a few of the wonderful moments we have had this year!
We love you Daddy!!

Little advertisement!

Hey everyone!
Check out my friend, Allison's new site! She made a banner for Sarah Kate's birthday and it is TOO CUTE!!! I know this is going to be something that my girls cherish and look forward to for years! I love a tradition and these Birthday Banners are bound to become a tradition around my house!!

Just wanted to share!

A little catch up...

Ok- so this Spring has been super busy and I have been super slack about updating the blog. I promise to do better this summer! Here is a little catch up on what we have been up to!


My last post was the night before we left for the Disney Cruise- here is one picture from our fun trip. I will devote an entire post to this trip- stay tuned...



Many firsts...


First teeth! Drool!!!!


First foods

First park playdates and swings!


First wagon rides together

First baths together!


End of the year parties....
Ballet Party



School party




We had some performances...


Sarah Kate did such a great job at her recital this year- the whole class was precious! They all looked like ballerinas with their hair in buns and the beautiful costumes! I am very proud to say the very least!



SK had quite a "Fan Club" in the audience cheering her on and congratulating her with flowers! Those in attendance were...Pop, Grammy, Nana, Bob Bob, Aunt Becca, Uncle Alan (who I think enjoyed the performance the most!), Daddy, Hadley and a very proud Mommy!




This is a shot of the "not so great" performance- no really it was still great, just funny! Here is a shot of SK's school Spring Festival performance, where she decided to rub her eyes and look as miserable as possible during her group's time to sing! With 3 yr old you never know what your are going to get- it makes life very interesting at times! SK's Bob Bob and her Grammy were able to attend this fun event!


A bird decided to build a nest in the wreath on the front door! I am happy to report that all 5 eggs hatched, all 5 birds lived and all 5 birds have flown away and my door is once again POOP FREE!!!




Spring Break '09 was one for the record books! Three Mommy friend's and I took all of our kids to spend some time in the North Georgia mountains. We had big plans of picnics, hikes, ice cream cones and tons of fun! The only one of those things we got was the FUN! Instead we had rain, cold, and SNOW! We made the most out of our time and had a blast in the end. Here are some of the things we did...


Before our Easter Egg hunt- we had to bundle up the kids and hide the eggs in easy places to that the hunt wouldn't take too long and no one would get frostbite!

Watching movies was a hit- thank goodness!



Thanks to Allison we had lots of crafts and thanks to Costco the Mommy's had lots of beverage!


Easter was a fun time! We had many egg hunts and parties and tons of candy!! Here are a few highlights...

The girls and their baskets


Uncle Sonny was coaching Sarah Kate on her egg hunting skills and I think it paided off- she was one of the big winners!


Hadley got in on the fun at the egg hunt at Kay and Paul's house- what a cute bunny!


Hunting eggs at Caroline's birthday party with Daddy and Alexis!


The Summer is just beginning, we have big plans that include lots of camps, a beach trip, a 4th birthday party, a girls weekend and lets not forget (this is a reminder to you Robert- hint hint) our 10 (count 'em TEN!) year wedding anniversary! A very fun and busy summer is ahead! Keep in touch!
