Ryans 34th birthday

Age has nothing on him! Its just not fair... he gets better looking with age! Probably has something to do with staying young at heart! I don't think he ever really passed the age 12 or 13:). I am a lucky woman to be married to this guy! The party had to include golfing with his family, this year it was at Old Mill. I got to go this year and ride along! I loved it! And then we went out with Jeff & McCall and Marshal & Bree to Market Street for an all out calorie fest! Complete with crab, shrimp, steak, yummy bread, and key lime pie! So yummy! I am sure every one in the restaurant had to have thought we were drinking because we are one rowdy rowdy group. We laughed so hard and enjoyed ourselves so much! Happy Birthday RY! Much love!

Easter festivities

Dying Easter Eggs!









The Baskets!




The Outfits! I had fun this year making my girls Easter dresses! A couple of my friends, Gen and Haley, helped me and I loved it! I think they will keep together as long as I dont wash them :)







The Hunt. Every year Nana puts on the hunts of all hunts and sPoILs these kids with tons of gOoD candy and fun toys!!! She puts the Easter Bunny to shame!

Happy Birthday Ella!!

I really cant believe my little girl is 5! 5 always seems so big to me. At night I tell her that this is it... no more growing, 5 is all I can do! She never agrees with me :) But what a great 5 year old she is! SOOOO incredibly sweet, but has some sass to her! Plays great by herself, in fact, sometimes she will tell me she is going in her room and doesn't want Claire in there so she can do her "stories". She also is just a social butterfly and loves loves loves to play with her friends! She has a total sweet tooth-chocolate and frosting... wonder where she got that from; loves to color and paint; glitter, sparkle, and dress up. Loves play make and putting on nail polish. Loves watching a movie for quiet time; sleep overs with Mason; playing with her polys, dressing up her American Girl Doll; a great big sister! She lets Claire play with her all the time! She is starting to get into the WII; kind, generous, tender heart, happy, snugly; loves to go to dance; loves to ride horses; my best little friend; brings peace to her daddy; fancy... in every part of her! In fact when she cleans her room, she "decorates" it... which means all toys come out and are strategically placed into fancy spots; loves to play outside; frilly, all girl; likes school, although the academic part isn't her favorite... she loves the social part, singing, and art; loves music and singing. She is often blasting something in her room even if its the primary songs; would live at the beach...I often joke that when she turns 18 she is running way to California to be a beach bum and live on love; loves to play in the sand box; flowers and all beautiful outside things; daddy dates... and the list goes on and on! She is such a joy! I am humbled to be her mom! Her little spirit fills this house with a pure joy and kindness that is unmatched! Happy Birthday to my Isabella!!!!
So on to the party... in honor of her love for Fancy... we had a Fancy Nancy party! She loves reading all those books and often pretend that she is Fancy Nancy, so we thought this would be perfect. All the girls came dressed in their fanciest clothes ready to play... we decorated flip flops, made bracelets, the boys decorated top hats, painted fingers and toes, and read Fancy Nancy books! Of course there were cupcakes (her favorite) and she was spoiled with presents! The smile didn't leave her face all day! It was absolutely "divine". And I think everyone had a great time!
