Springbreak Photo shoots!

We decided not to travel this year for spring break, I can't remember why...oh yeah, because we just had a baby, still have our house in Meriden for sale, and what was the other reason...our other 2 little monsters!  Instead we stayed home and posed them for pictures. 

Olyvia is 1 month old!

Our littlest is now 1 month old.  I can't believe it's been a month already, but she's finally growing and gaining weight.  She's up to 7 pounds and 4 ounces.  Still little, but we're glad she's up over her birth weight!

Andy has decided he really does love his new 'brother' Olybia.  He hasn't quite gotten her name down yet either.

Our first photo shoot attempt with all 3.  Not too bad!

Snow, snow and more snow!

This winter we're had quite the amount of snow.  The kids and the neighbor boy built this tunnell and had a great time crawling through it. 

Fun before the baby comes!

We're puppies mom!  Look at us!

We really do love each other.  (Sometimes!)

Dress up, anyone?

Both the kids love dressing up.  Here they started with hats, and then added Lilly's ballet skirts.  Poor Andy, just does what big sister tells him to.  Check out the slippers, they definitely add to the outfit!

Who's helping here?

By the look on Andy's face, I know he already hates this picture.  Hopefully someday he'll think it's as cute as I do.  A mother can dream, right?

Funny Hats

We love pajama time and we love playing with hats even more. Wait, those aren't hats, those are swim diapers! Whatever works. They were having and I thought it was pretty funny.

The look on his face is just priceless in this. Steve Vance, gangsta look all the way.

Littliest Pet Shop Obsession

Need I say more?!

Oh, You Beautiful Doll

This year Lilly got to take tap and ballet and the year ended in a great performance. She loves dancing and had so much fun with the girls in her class. Even though she wanted a pink dress, she was very excited to get to wear this costume, but most of all, she couldn't wait to put on make-up. Luckily Stacy had a class to show us how to do the make-up for stage performances, as I wouldn't have known.





We've been singing, "Oh, You Beautiful Doll" for almost 6 months now. I have to admit, I'm ready for a new song!





Lilly and Miss Stacy, her teacher. She is so patient with the girls and is a great teacher. Lilly can't wait for the summer session to start!

Lilly turns 5! Oh my!

For Lilly's 5th birthday this year we headed out to Dighton to be there for my little brother's Senior Prom. So here are a few pictures from the weekend. She did get to open gifts 3 different times, so for a 5 year, what could be better?!



Here is one of the first gifts she opened. Memaw and Papa John have sent her these "pretty" dolls for each one of her birthdays. She loves them and is always excited when she opens the gift.

Littlest pet shops? Absolutely. And not the only one she received.

Andy and Daddy enjoyed playing "hit me on the head" with this Little Mermaid ball. He had fun, with only a few fights between the two about the gift opening.

Beautiful baby Mayci. Isn't she growing like a little weed?!

And I must say, this was the best game that my kids have received thus far. Her and Andy have spent hours upon hours playing Elefun. The next 5 year old birthday party we attend, I will be purchasing this game for them.
