MC's birthday continues!

A couple of weeks ago, Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Vic came to spend the night and celebrate MC's birthday! We opened presents, at a great supper and went to the lake! What's not to like! Thank you for making the trip! We had such a great time!!

First Day of School 2011

This sweet boy started kindergarten just 5 short years ago and today he is starting his first day of the last year of elementary school! I cannot believe this boy is a 5th grader!





Today, my little 4th and 5th graders did not want to be dropped off at school (even for the first day-not cool mom!) so they rode their bikes to school. They are getting so big and so independent! It was a great morning and it will be a great year! I love you Jack and Maree-Claire!!

MC's 9th Birthday!!

Maree-Claire's 9th birthday was a big time! We opened family presents a day early because she was having a sleepover party that night! Aunt Whit, Abby and Parker even got to come up for the party and the weekend!! We had Margarita, the feather fairy, come and put feathers in the girls' hair. Then we went to the pool and swam, came home and decorated her cookie cakes and at cake, pizza and watched a movie. That was fun in itself! The next morning was MC's actual birthday. Big Jim and GrandJan surprised her for the day. So, we got to eat at Marketplace and MC had a chocolate mess for her big day and then we went to a Naturals game with the Clements (and the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders were there!!). It was awesome! Then to top off the weekend, we went to Silver Dollar City with the Millers. We rode rides until we literally were sick! It was the best!!! Happy Birthday MC!!!
