Easter 2011

Easter Baskets for my three babies!

A little note and some carrots for the Easter Bunny!

Easter morning!

One of Gracie's Easter dinner place settings.

"Hmmm....wonder if there's anything in here I will like"

This darn plastic covering...."the Easter Bunny makes things harder then they need to be mom"

It was great to have Lil' Geoge home for Easter. He had to head back to college on Easter day so we had an early holiday dinner. I only posted one pic of Gracie's place settings for dinner (made me laugh) but she did that for all five of us - she's so darn cute! Mommy made sure to put out some carrots and a letter for the Easter bunny and in turn the Easter bunny left baskets of goodies for the kidos!

Coloring Easter Eggs

Sadly I missed my babies coloring Easter eggs. I spent the entire day at the ER due to my kidney stones - only to come to find out a few days later that the pain I was having had nothing to do with my kidney stones.  Go figure! Fortunately, Lil' G was home from college and took charge and even managed to take a few pics to share with me while I was at the ER (ahhh...for 5 hours). So...I thought I would share these wonderful pics with family and friends. Enjoy!

A Little Something From Bootcamp

Attached is a picture of a clown that was given to me by a shipmate (Kimberly Hornsby) when I was in bootcamp. I recall her only having so many to handout and I was one of the lucky ones to get one and I managed to hang on to this since 1989 - it literally followed me everywhere I moved and I could never part with it!

Pics of Gracie's Recital Costumes - Just Beautiful

Jacob Starts Baseball -

Well baseball season is well underway. Jacob participated in the parade for opening day this past Saturday but unfortunately the afternoon game (his first game of the season) was cancelled due to the rain. George did manage to get a portrait of him in his new uniform and his team name is the "Cardinals.  Jacob is very excited about playing this year and he said he is on a very good team. I believe he said he is going to have some opportunities to pitch and play first base - I look forward to the games. He has been playing for the past 4 years and really enjoys it and I am so very proud of all that he accomplishes, I really am.

Gracie - Recital Picture Day -

 

I think she is so beautiful, I really do. This past Saturday all the dancers had their portraits taken in their recital costumes. What time slot did we fall under? The 8:30 a.m. timeslot! I made sure we got up extra early so she would look well-rested for her portraits.  I did her hair and makeup the best I could but the day of the recital (in June) I am going to take her to have her hair and makeup done by a stylist. I really don't think she needs makeup at all but have been told that this is the norm for dancers - which I know nothing about because I never participated in dance when I was younger. When I first saw the costumes I was so happy I think I had tears in my eyes - after having two boys I am so grateful to have a little girl I can spoil and do girly stuff with - and believe me....she is all girl - thank god she did not end up being a tom boy like I thought she would be because she had two older brothers - she is truly a blessing.

Moosie Turns 7

Moosie celebrated his 7th birthday on April 4th. Finally....there's someone in the house that is older then me!
We got Moosie a special filet mignon doggie dinner and put a candle in it and sang happy birthday to him. The kids got a chuckle out of it! In the picture with Moosie is my baby boy (Jacob).
