Oh Daddy

I can't tell you how much I love having Brendan home some mornings... He helps with breakfast, speech homework, and the morning routine. Sometimes he even drives Addie to school. On most mornings, I get Addie dressed, do her hair... and this day, I thought Daddy could take it from there and get her socks and shoes and load her into the car...


But when Addie returned from school, Mommy died laughing. Apparently, Mommy needs to make sure I pick out the socks and shoes, too. Daddy lacks just a little fashion sense! Ha!

Surprise Visit

When those tea partiers pop in for a surprise visit... ya never know what you're gonna get.:) The kids LOVED the visit from Pop Pop and Gram almost as much as the chocolate bunnies they brought them.:)

Splish Splash

We LOVE taking our baths...

and nothing beats old time bubble beards.:)

Go Angels...

Once again I've been bad about blogging... I've forgotten my camera for several playdates, a Chuck-e-Cheese celebration with the Layne girls, oh- and we can't forget the night I locked myself out of our house while at a neighbor's house for dinner. Thank God for my parents rescuing us and for locksmiths!

Things are about to kick into high gear... Spring sports start this weekend. Addie will be playing soccer, and Chris is playing baseball. Doesn't he look older in this picture- so handsome.:) Today, we got to pick up our uniforms since practice was rained out. I love cheering at his games- and this season shall be quite interesting. I love teams like the Angels, Lions, even the Mets from last season. This year, we are the IRON PIGS! Wooooo Hoooooo.... Go Iron pigs! Ha!

Star of the Day!

Addie was star of the day this week in her class and got to make a special poster and bring in snack. I went out of my way to get cake pops for the whole class... I thought they were great, but the kids ate more goldfish than cake pops... Go figure.:) If you haven't tried a cake pop from Starbuck's... don't do it. You will want them every day!

Addie was so cute in her class. Of course, she's the tallest one, and maybe it's just the mommy in me, but she seems older and more mature than most of the kids. That is... until she had to present her poster. When Addie is nervous or tired, she talks in a fake baby voice- and she did when she talked about her poster... but I thought it was pretty cute.:) She made sure to tell everyone about her family, brother Chris, that she loves Barney, and strawberries.:)

Happy Birthday Gi Gi!!!

We had been planning a trip to the lake for about 6 months to celebrate Grammom's 85th Birthday! We missed having Susan with us, but the rest of the McCullers gang spent a great weekend at the lake honoring Gramma. Uncle Bruce and Aunt Denise brought the matriarch of the family down from Jersey and I promise that Hank and Melanie were at the lake. I can't believe I don't have any pictures of them... well, I do have two- but one I look awful in, and the other is of them in their p.j.'s while we were having cake... and I don't think it was blog material.:) Trust me there will be lots of pictures of them when we celebrate their wedding next month!!! I hope we're still invited though, because Chris and Addie wouldn't let them breathe this past weekend... Let's just say they are a little obsessed with them!

We enjoyed a nice dinner out at Blackwater and just really enjoyed hanging out... We're all looking forward to doing it again in a few weeks!!!

Oh Addison...

Couldn't resist sweet baby girl.:) I love you.:)
