My 34th Birthday!

Stan and I went out on the Friday before my Birthday and celebrated our birthdays (his was the 9th and mine was the 29th of January) at the Cirque du Soleil show "Ovo". It was a great great show, even though the whole thing was about a bunch of bugs and an egg. LOL! I loved it! I told Stan that I thought watching this would help me want to start working out or doing gymnastics or something. Man, they are amazing!! It was also opening night and they were giving out free popcorn and sodas. Which went great with all the candy we bought at Walgreens and stashed in my huge purse. We didn't want to have to buy snacks there so we brought some with us. Double Score!!

This is the only picture I got of the night. I think I embarrassed Stan by breaking out my camera. This shot was taken as we were walking in and Stan was leaving me behind. LOL!

Then Saturday my mom and I headed to Fairfield to visit with some family. It was the first time Leslie, Tina and I have gotten together with our babies. And trust me, this picture was a lot harder to take than it looks.

Little Miss Blue Eyes...Abby and Melanie

This is cute! Barrett is like, "Ohhh, wait. Let me go see what I can get out of that drawer"

Aunt Cille with her favorite grandson, Zach! Leslie and Dave did a good job; he's a cutie!

Aunt Cille with Macy and Melanie

Abby being in true form here. Hanging out with Adults, not the kids. AND, bribing Leslie to eat her lunch for her so that she didn't have to eat it.

Macy is 1 month older than Zach.

"Watch out Zach! Here she comes!!!"

Such a great time in Fairfield. Turning 34 hasn't been that bad. Gotta great husband, two precious kids, great family, great job.....life is great! :) Except for the number 34, I wish it still said 31 or 27 or something lower than 34. ;)

Sisters in their Jammies

Macy looks almost as big as Abby here.

"Mommy, what's this? Her knee."

"Mommy what's this? Her cheeks."

Hug Me, Hold Me, Kiss Me

I love putting Macy in an outfit that I remember very well Abby wearing. I mean it was only two years ago. :)

Here's Macy on January 26, 2011

Here's Abby on January 15, 2009

Sweet Sisters!!

It's so hard to get a picture of them both smiling at the same time. But here's a pretty good try!!

"Mommy, I'm gonna tickle her." - Abby

"Mommy????" - Macy

"Her hands are so dainty." - Abby

"Abby, hang on to her." - Me

"He's ok Mommy" - Abby

"Abby! please don't drop her" - Me

"Mommy??!!!!" - Macy

"Cheezze!" - Abby

"No, I don't want to hold him." - Abby
"Oh dear....Mommy!" - Macy


"Look my pockets" - Abby
She told me to take her picture with her hands in her pockets. So cute!

My somewhat babysitter after school. Backyardiagans on the DVR. :)

These girls make me smile so much. These were all taken after school on Jan 25th. So sweet. I love these two so much. My prayer is that they will continue to grow to love and find such a deep friendship with one another. Right now, both are pretty crazy about each other! :)

All smiles!!

I can't get enough of her smiles!!!

I don't think she'll be wearing this outfit much longer. It's a little snug around the thighs! :) And just ignore the spitup on her shirt. It happens.

Sweet Dress

I went through Macy's closet here a while back and organized it with all the clothes that fit that she hasn't worn yet and we need to within the next week!! LOL! She is growing like crazy!

Jessica got Macy this sweet dress. I wanted her to wear it the first time she went to church, but she hasn't gone yet and we need to wear it now. So, we wore it a couple of weeks ago and out came the camera.

She's gonna kill me when she is older for posting these pictures with her and her crazy eyes. But it's so funny to me!! :) She does this every time the flash goes off! LOL!!

"Here she comes again!"

This was just for me. I could just EAT these legs!!!!

"Told you she was comin'!"

I didn't get a great picture of the dress, but it is so precious. I love it!! It'll definitely be a keepsake for Ms. MacyKate!!

MacyKate is 3 months old!!!

She's actually 3 1/2 months old now, but I'm just getting caught up on all my posts. These pictures were taken on January 21st, her 3 month b-day.

Sweet girl is mad again.

So mad she raised her foot at me.

Okay, we're better now.

My sweet Chubs.

She actually smiled here, but my camera is crazy and it has a delay before it takes the picture. Which makes me so mad by the way, why can't it take the picture when I tell it too. Why?...Why does it delay? UGH.

I love this one! Her and her sweet puppy.

I'm not sure who she looks like here, but I'll go ahead and take the credit for the cuteness!

Oh my sweet MacyKate!!! You are 3 months old!! It's amazing to watch you grow each day. You have found your hands lately and are either staring at them or have them in your mouth every second of the day. :) Another toy you have found fond of is the frog carseat toy. Just this month, you started playing with it on your own. You aren't much of a fan of tummy time, but if Mommy and Abby play with you while you down there, you last a few minutes longer. You are just almost turning over. When you are on your back, you'll roll from side to side

You're definitely getting bigger. I weighed you the other day and you weigh 14lbs!! I couldn't believe it, my arms could, but my brain couldn't. You are wearing size 2 diapers and are in 3m and 3-6month clothes. Forget 0-3, that lasted about a week. ;)

You have already had your first cold, which led to your first ear infection. Boo. So sad to see you hurting. You even had an ingrown toe nail that was painful for you. You really didn't seemed that bothered by both, except at night. Mercy Me. I'm tired. You would be out cold...OUT Cold, and I would lay you down and you would wake up. UGH. (We are actually going through this again and I hope it's not another ear infection. poor girl) So,with all of this, you have not really been on much of a schedule. You cry, I feed you. I'm so tired that I don't want to come up with entertaining ideas to get you to last the next 30-60 minutes before the next feeding. So, you are eating anywhere between 2-3 hours during the day. And at night, you are STILL doing the same. :( I was hoping with all the weight you were putting on you would be "fat and happy" and sleep all night long. Oh well. This too will pass, and before we know it, you'll be sleeping like a champ!

Well, little Miss Blue eyes - we love you so! and we love how you love us back with your smiles!! Oh, and I forgot to say how you are talking. You have conversations with us all the time. Now, we don't have a clue at what you are saying, but you are definitely telling us something. I love the coo's, goo's, eek's, hi's, etc. love you sweet girl - your mommy
