Pretty Little Ballerina!

As promised...

Anxiously awaiting the big performance...
Maeryn led all the little dancers in to the room, and was BEAMING!
We were so, so proud of this little girl. 
And even in her special moment in the spotlight,
she couldn't help herself from smiling and waving at her number one fan, Johnny boy.  
That smile melts just my heart.
She did a great job showing off everything she's learned this year.



And the dances were absolutely adorable!

More flowers from Daddy!
Great job Maeryn!! 

Maeryn and Hannah
Thank you Ms. Susan.  :-)

Teaser

Maeryn had a dance recital at her pre-school this week!
More pictures and videos to come, but here's a little teaser for your Friday afternoon...


Skipping Rocks

I took the kids on a walk at Creve Coeur Lake
before one of Kevin's soccer games last weekend.
We decided to stop for a minute and attempt to skip rocks in the lake...

The rocks never actually "skipped" on the water, but we threw some in, 
and it was an awesome moment never-the-less.

Big girl Maer-bear got moved up to P-K (aka: the "4's" room) at school this week!
That's right folks, she's in PRE-Kindergarten!!!
The director of her school just send me this pic - totally made my day.
Super girl is P.U.M.P.E.D.

8 months gone in a flash!

A couple of fun pictures and videos from this week...

Big boy Johnny Mac sits up shopping carts now!
No more lugging the huge heavy car seat around in every store - woohoo!!!
We especially love the double-seater carts at Sam's Club. :-)
He got his first experience in a bounce house this week at Olivia and Owen's party.
Yes, he was this happy the whole time!!! 
Even when the girls were tackling him, he couldn't get enough. 

Play time with sissy Maer-bear... 
(I think they were baking cookies).
Later that day, showing off his new skills.
Don't think he'll be crawling for very long,
homeboy wants to pull up on everything ALREADY!
More giggles and smiles at the dinner table.
I just want to freeze time for a little bit longer, I know I will miss these days sometime soon.
He is such a happy baby, I just want to smooch that face all day long!!! 
(and yes, those are teeth down on the bottom, two of them already!)

Yesterday, enjoying the nice weather, swinging at the park.
And then car races in our cul de sac!
Told ya he won't be crawling for long...

More crawling with Maeryn.

And after tubbies last night...
It is a daily battle.
Diaper change time. 
Gotta have the quickest hands this side of the mississippi to get a diaper
on this kid before he rolls over and gets away! 
I usually fail miserably, and one of us ends up getting pissed.

8 months gone in a flash, can't wait to see what month 9 will bring!

Ummm, we're famous...

Well, If you are reading this you are now an exclusive member of my viewing club.
My little family blog has hit the big time overnight...
There are some gossip columns, media outlets and various bachelorette bloggers
who recently discovered this page and posted links (and pictures) online for millions to see.
 As fun as it would be to see how popular we might all become,
I've decided to close it to the public.

We'll see what happens in the next few days and weeks.
This is all very new and strange!

Look for my usual sillyness and shenanigans back on this page very soon.
