A visit with some friends!

These 3 are the "Incredible Hulk"!

I am holding Avery and Olivia.

We visited the Miller's a few weekend ago and had a blast. It was a bit crazy as now there are 6 kids...2 babies..a 1 year old, a 3 year old, and 2 five year olds. This was our first trip seeing them since Kelly had the babies 2 months ago. Aidan was very excited to see his "best friend"! I see many play dates ahead this summer.

What I am thinking today....

I find myself thinking about so many things today...
1. Today was Aidan's last day of school. I found myself a bit teary eyed when I dropped him off this morning and realized that this is his last day of "not real school". Now he is officially in kindergarten!
2. My last day of school is Friday and I am so looking forward to some days with my kids and NO WORK!
3. Why does the weather have to be so crazy? Aidan's school called at 3:15 today and said I needed to pick him up because of the tornado warnings. I rushed out and was in a a panic trying to pick up all 3 kids before the storm hit. When I got to Ms. Amy's-she had the kids in the basement. I was a little scared for just a minute. Luckily-it passed.
4. My poor buddy's asthma has been acting up lately...that always makes me worry!
5. Anabelle is probably on her last can of formula before starting whole milk. Where has the time gone? My baby is getting so big and this is a stage that we will be done with forever. I find myself a little sad. Just a bit!
6. Why does my hubby have to work so much! I wonder what it would be like to have a husband who actually works 9 to 5? I probably shouldn't think about it too much because it will never happen!
7. I have been planning things to do in the summer with the kids-swimming lessons, T-ball, Safety Town, VBS, and Lily will attend camp for the first time by herself....have I over done it?
8. I got a treatment done on my hair and I love it that it takes me 15 minutes to get get ready in the morning.
9. My Tinker doesn't like to take naps very much anymore...slowly she is trying to get out of them How will I deal with that this summer?
10. How do you accumulate so many toys and yet very few of them seem to get played with???
11. I went to get a drink of tea and thought it tasted a little funny. After another drink, I realized that someone had pured their chocolate milk in my tea...hmmm...if i was guessing I would say-TINKER!
12. 2 more days of work and then I will have plenty of time to think even more!

My sweet little one....

Anabelle has started standing on her own (Last weekend...was the official beginning-5/20). She stands for 15 or 20 seconds and is so delighted with herself that it makes me smile. A reminder that it is the small things in life that make your day!

Look who has lots of hair!

Ok...so it is not a lot but it sure is cute!

Anabelle got all dressed up to go to a birthday party!

The Tooth Fairy Visits!

It was an exciting day! We were eating lunch and Aidan said,"Mom, my tooth." With a little tug...out it came! He pulled it our himself!

Guess who just lost their very 1st tooth! (May 21, 2011)
He was so proud!

~T-Ball~

So far, Aidan has hit the ball every time! He is a really good hitter!

He also likes to play catcher. He caught a pop fly and was very proud!
This is Aidan's first year playing T-Ball...coach pitch! It is sooo cute! He really likes it and is really good at it! He has a lot of fun and I think I enjoy it as much as he does! I am so proud to see my little man out there playing baseball! His 1st game he had 3 hits and a catch! I look forward to the rest of the season!

We went out to dinner for Mother's Day on the loop! I get a hug from my Lily!

Anabelle is obsessed with watching birds! Sitting outside at the loop for dinner was perfect for her!

It was a fun Mother''s Day weekend. Dinner out, a parade, and being with my family! Just perfect!

~Tinker's Recital~

Lily was adorable at her recital!

Lily and her friend Amelia before they get ready to perform! I was so proud of Lily! She got on stage and did great!

~PARK~

Anabelle enjoys her first slide ride with mommy and daddy!

We visited Faust park the other weekend! It was a fun family outing!

Anabelle loves to swing and I am so happy because Aidan and Lily finally know how to pump!

Easter at our house!

This is how Easter looks at our house! The Easter bunny has to out a lot of work into the baskets...making sure everyone has the same amount...before you know...there is a collection of stuff all around the basket! Oh my!!!!

Anabelle Devaney's 1st Easter!

Belle was fascinated with the "grass" in her basket!

Doesn't she look so sweet and adorable?
This was her favorite thing the Easter bunny brought her...a singing giraffe!

My little princess.....her Easter dress was a size 6 months.....she looked sooo sweet!

Our Easter outfits!

Anabelle looked adorable in her pretty pink dress and bow!

Aidan looks so big and so handsome! Lily....she looked beautiful in her dress and she also had a new Easter purse. Soooo...cute! I texted Matt that morning and told him how proud I was of them! I just thought they looked so adorable!

Easter begins at Nana's!

Nana set out the baskets and a little surprise for the kids!

Anabelle takes a peek at her first Easter basket! She had an egg filled with Cheerios!

Tinker loves Easter....she is a candy eating machine! (She ate her candy and all of Aidan's.)

All the kids show off their baskets!
Anabelle looks happy!
Aidan and Lily show off their jammies that Nana and Pa Pa bought them!
It was raining so the Easter bunny hid eggs in Nana's basement! Anabelle Devaney managed to find 1! The others kids quickly found the rest!Tinker had a basket full of eggs and by the end of the night she had more candy in her basket then she started with!

Aidan loved the Easter egg hunt. Something about hunting eggs is fascinating!
