Divas!

Look at my girls, all dressed up for Sunday church :)


Family Party

Saturday night, we had the whole family over to celebrate BOTH of my big girls. Olivia turns 7 this week, and Nora turns 4 in early April. Daddy made the girls their own cakes, and we sang to them individually.
Tess got a few early birthday gifts from Nana, including these little sunglasses that she'll be wearing in Disney next week!

Olivia turns 7!!!!

This Thursday, March 25th, my baby turns 7. We through her a pizza party with her friends over the weekend.
The kids started off decorating a pizza coloring page and doing a pizza word search.
We served pizza & Kool-Aid next.
After that, we played "Dough-Boy"- 2 teams competed by stuffing their dough-boys full with balloons. Soooo funny!
Check out the "dough" on Nora! :)

The party continued...

Followed by an all-out dance party!
Then present opening...

and we ended with a movie (Horton Hears a Hoo) and popcorn!
Even baby sis joined the big girls for the movie, and ate her cherry puffs with her sippy cup by her side!

Happy Birthday Olivia! Mommy loves you!

Tessa, March 2010






Tessa will be 10 months old when we leave for our spring break trip to Disney in less than 2 weeks! She is crawling all over and into EVERYTHING!!! Up until recently, she's rarely made a peep. Now she interjects in our conversations with: "Da-da", "Uh, oh", "Up", and "Yayh". She loves snacks, and little bits of what we're eating. She's got 2 big teeth on the bottom, as you can see in the picture above. She is pleasant and happy ALL the time. Nothing bothers this child- not Livi picking up her and carrying her around, or Nora talking loud in her face or squeezing her tight, not the dog messing with her. You can take this baby ANYwhere! She's just easy as can be. Her latest obsessions are cell phones and tv remotes. I can't believe come summer time she'll be walking around the backyard like a big girl! Please quit growing....I will miss her falling asleep in my arms, bottle in mouth, like she is in this picture I took today. :) What a doll baby!

Nora, March 2010





Nora Frances! What can I say? She is HYSTERICAL! She dances like nobody's business. She can't hear music without shakin her bootie, or waving her hands in front of her face like in Pulp Fiction! She sings her little heart out. Her Faithful Feet dance group is getting ready to start back up. Nora is going to play spring soccer for the first time in a few weeks. She LOVES preschool, so we're going to let her go 3 days a week next year. She is learning her letters and their sounds, and is an absolute whiz on the computer! We laugh all day long with her around! Can't believe she'll be 4 years old next month. What happened to Momma's little baby? I keep telling them, NO MORE GROWING!

Olivia, March 2010





Olivia is a babe! She just got her 3rd medal this year for all A's & B's (Academic Achievement) and has also gotten the Perfect Attendance certificate all 3 grading periods, as she has not missed a day yet! She is so smart. She's also very athletic! She just finished up her indoor soccer foot skills class, and is getting ready to start spring soccer. She loves art, and she said today that she wants to start volunteering in the church nursery. She IS really good with her baby sister! This kid just loves being around other people. We just love her spirit and energy. Olivia turns 7 years old next week. My babies are growing up! :)
