Let's SEE a party!

Cayden loves the Toby Keith song

RED SOLO CUP

Have a listen...

He sings

Let's see a party

and then says

"you're not just a cup...

you're my friend"

I love him!

Jump for Joy!

Our annual Easter trip to Florida is something Sarah and Molly

really look forward too!  They remember all the fun we have while

we play together all day and night!

I found some PEACE sign swimsuits for the girls!

Sarah was excited to have a "two peace!"

She leaped for joy~ literally!

Molly loved her new suit too!

She leaped for joy too!

Woo Hoo.... only a few more weeks!

Inspiration~

Dave and I traveled to Columbus yesterday~ He had a board meeting to attend 

and he dropped me off at Frankie's studio to work out!

I worked out on the reformer and mat with CJ~ so fun!

CJ is Frankie's hair stylist and just the sweetest guy!

I took some picture and video of Frankie's TRX class

which is fast paced and timed!

"You can do anything for 20 seconds!"

REALLY?

Really!

I now have some great ideas for home workouts!

I loved visiting Frankie's studio!

Afterwards, Frankie and I had lunch and were

able to visit together.

The four of us went to dinner at Ella's, a new restaurant with

an attached art studio.  The food served there is all local and fresh!

The art all local and beautiful!

E L L A stands for EAT LOCAL LOVE ART

Aren't they so cute?

Dave and Frankie

Thanks for a fun day!

Speaking of inspiration... 

Just look at my Mya Brynn

She had mastered climbing up on her Dora chair to look outside!

Mommy keeps asking if she sees the birdie,

Mya says yeah... and then keeps saying 

"Squirrel"

She is doing fabulous~

Pencil me in!

Deep Sadness...

Feb. 27th, 2012 was a sad day here. 

Parents sent their children off to school.

One choose to do a senseless act.

Five others injured, Two have died from those injuries. 

Hundreds affected.

Here in Ohio, Chardon is a small communtity,

one where you would think this could never happen.

I am tired of kids killing kids.

I am praying for all involved

included the shooter, who surely must be

a lost soul.

I am praying for the parents of the two boys who lost their lives.

I am praying for the parents of the two boys and one girl still in the hospital.

I am praying for the parents of the young boy who took a gun to school.

When will this end?

Read with me...

*From my cell phone*

Would I... Could I?

Would I.

Could I attend a BABY SHOWER?

The invite came.

It read...

you could not.

would not.

want to miss...

A BABY SHOWER

as fun as this!

Meigan,  her daughter Erin, daughter in law Katie, 

and  future daughters in law Kristin, and Halle,

 along with a friend Carolyn,

 put together

the sweetest baby shower for Katie!

Here's Katie at 31 weeks, looking RADIANT~

along with her Mom!

The nursery is done in CAT IN THE HAT~

ready for a new baby to slumber!

Centerpieces were diaper cakes

adorned with YOU KNOW WHO!

Gifts were also dressed with

little characters!

Cupcakes made to remind us

of ONE FISH, TWO FISH...

and that whimsical little hat!

Thanks you favor cards, letting us know

a donation was made in our honor 

for a special little baby Grace~

who needs our help and prayers.

The expectant new Mommy...

holding her precious baby M,

cradled already in her arms!

No one knows.

It will be a surprise.

Girl or Boy

Something that begins with an

M...

Red Fish, Blue Fish,

I am only slightly disappointed that the baby will

NOT be named DIANA...

I will forever treasure that Katie, at a young age,

did name a baby doll after me!

So excited to hear the really big news 

in a very few weeks~

Dinner, Music and Fun!

Beckie invited us over for dinner yesterday~

The girls were excited to see their Papa after his long trip to Florida!

Silly girls at the dinner table.

They reminded Dave and I of two other little girls,

who would act silly at the dinner table

then loose total control and end up laughing so 

hard that we would make them leave the table!

Ha!

Some things never change!

We had a nice dinner together!

Then the girls were ready to share their love of music with us!

Sarah, who prefers to practice piano standing, played a few songs for us!

I love this girl with all my might!

Her little glasses and her little pursed lips

melt my heart!

Then Molly made us guess all her songs!

Her Mommy and Daddy are very good at knowing 

"Open A"

&

"Mississippi Hotdog"

Sarah knew "Waiting for the Ice Cream Truck"

All great little songs!

I am in love with little Miss Molly too!

I realized yesterday for the first time that Molly isn't just

Sarah's baby sister anymore...

She is so grown up to me all of the sudden!

Molly was REALLY happy to see her Papa.

I think she sat, climbed and hugged him the entire night long!

We played Guess Who?

Animal and People version!

And we played Headbands!

Molly was really funny during this game because she would

look around at our heads while asking her questions

and she would say "Am I a ....

WHAT EVER WAS ON OUR HEADS!"

We had to change cards numerous times!

She would give hints

and totally give away the answer!

We laughed so hard all night!

Sarah had I am a DUCK

She asked questions...

A lot of questions...

Then finally shouted...

"Am I a DUCK"

YES~ we answered!

Then she put her card back in the box, sat down, stood back up

and reached in the box for another card!

"What's so funny?"
