May 14 - Birthday Celebrating for Mommy & Papa + Cougars Game


Ry lookin' cool as usual in his Cubs jacket & Amanda's sunglasses!


We sang Happy Birthday to Mommy and again for Papa's belated bday. I made a cake and it was SO GOOD. We ate it while it was still warm! Oh and the cold milk - Yum!




Ry tries to get as much cake as he can. Every last morsel!


Play time w/Papa in Amanda's room. Poor Papa!




Grandson and Grandpa


Ryan is putting on some LIP GLOSS! (Don't tell Daddy!!)


Uh oh, mommy took it away. He wasn't happy about that, can you tell?






The girls decide to have makeup time. They have some fun makeup in a bag from Libby Lu and birthday parties and they went at it! What do you think? They are really getting in to putting their makeup on!


Uh oh, Papa's not so sure about this makeup job?!


Natalie, is that you? You are blue!


I dropped Natalie off at Daddy's work & they were off to the Cougar's game. Natalie earned a free ticket thru her reading program at school. This was the better of the 2 nights offered and so even though it was MY BIRTHDAY I thought it would be a fun event for Natalie and Daddy!


Natalie sees her Bestie at the game! They are so cute together!


Look how little Natalie looks next to her friend?! They are wearing their FREE Kane County Cougars t-shirts they got, signed by Ozzie, the KCC mascot!


The kids that were in the program and at the game got to march around the outer edge of the field before the game started! COOL! There is OZZIE!


Happy as a clam!

May 10 - Gymnastics & Cheerleading Showcase

Happy Mother's Day 2009
I woke up to a beautiful breakfast in bed and the girls joined me too! They gave me their handmade wheelbarrow flower pot holders that they made w/Daddy @ Home Depot, beautiful cards from each of the kids and Hubby, lots of hugs & kisses too! Hubby also gave me a bottle of the world's finest honeys, The Queen Bee of all honeys, Tupelo Honey! To his favorite honey. Get it? It was the sweetest thoughtful gift. I loved it!

On top of all of that I got some serious spending $$, which is what I wanted!
After all of the Mother's Day hoopla it was time to go celebrate our beautiful daughters at their Showcase!

The girls had their Spring Showcase...Amanda for gymnastics and Natalie for Cheerleading. Both girls did AWESOME and I mean it! We are so proud of them and all that they have learned and most importantly they are having fun doing it!



Here they are warming up in the hallway. Is that a little head-banging going on too?!


Amanda is in the black and pink leotard


Somersault!


Jump!


Run!


Roll!


Ryan has a little fun too!


Amanda excels on the balance beam! She can wave and balance at the same time!


That's Natalie JUMPING!


Amanda has some amazing strength in her lower body, upper too! I do not know where she gets this from?!


She loves being a monkey on the bar.


Natalie (far right) shows off her cheers! "Uh-huh!"
