Too Cute Tuesday!

I was going to save these for a Wordless Wednesday post. I decided I couldn't wait (so, Too Cute Tuesday will have to do). I know it has been a while since I have posted and many of you are growing impatient with me. Here's a little something to help you wait!

Here are Ella (4) and Max (almost 4) playing at the park.

Mother's Day Tea

The kindergarteners celebrated mother's through poetry and song. Afterwards, we were invited into the fellowship hall where McKenna served cookies and lemonade. It was absolutely cute!

It's been a while, I know....

I have lots to blog. Be patient as I slowly and anti-chronologically update my blog.

My mom, Cioci Lynda and her son Max were able to come up for an extended weekend. I will be slowly adding some posts/pictures about our adventures! While they were up, my mom and I went to a Mother's Day Tea hosted by McKenna's kindergarten class. Cioci Lynda watched Ella and Max while we were out. They went to the park and played a bit!

Easter in pictures

Happy Birthday!

Yep, another birthday! Happy birthday to one of the most helpful and generous people I know! Happy birthday to Joann, my mom-in-law!

This woman can accomplish so much in one day! She rarely sits! She is always doing something fun!

Happy Birthday Joann!

Vibrant

My mom sent me a bouquet of flowers. The flowers were so beautiful I had to take a picture of them. The pictures probably don't do the colors justice. The oranges and yellows were so shockingly vibrant. They were gorgeous. Thanks Mom!

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday, Dad!
Yep, it's that time again! I am saying Happy Birthday to someone.

Just so everyone knows, I have a gagillion (yes, I stole that word from Ben Stiller) family members and couldn't possibly post a birthday message to each one on my blog on his/her respective special day. I would need to create a birthday blog, in and of itself, and hire a professional blogger to do that. So, I do what I can, when I can and hope that no one is offended.



My Dad is celebrating a birthday today! Happy Birthday to a man who works very hard. Dad, I hope you have a great day! Do something for yourself. Like--don't lift anything! Maybe sit and watch a movie or buy a CD!

Chuck E Cheese with Papa and Mammie!

I am not sure why we chose to hit Chuck E Cheese the night before Easter Sunday. However, here are the pictures to prove it!

The end

Well, our staycation is over and it is now time to get back to reality. Maybe you'll get a post card!

Spring Break Staycation Day # 6

Today we headed to the MN Zoo (thanks to Aunt Leigh for the membership!). Today again we met up with the G's! Walking through the zoo with them allowed us to see things we might not have noticed on our own. We went to an indoor bird show. The girls loved it. It was a bit nerve wrecking to be right in the fly zone though. One particular bird knew around 100 human sounds (small words, car sounds, cell phone noises, etc...). McKenna and Ella really were amazed by that.
