Mary was having a great time hanging out with her family and showing us her smiles! The dogs even got some love too!

We are hunkering down for yet another blast of Old Man Winter....like we haven't already had enough of him! More snow tonight into tomorrow. Doubt school will be cancelled, this is old hat for the kids by now! I think most parents know how to drive in the snow. Send us some warm thoughts...

Love you!

The many faces of Mary Margaret

In the bathtub having fun! Mommy put in a barret in my hair...I guess it was okay, I didn't pull it out! Smiling for the camera and look at my chicklets! WOW! They are B I G!!! Mommy said that it's about time time to give up nursing! I wonder why she says that!!! :-)

A first glimpse at our next addition to the family...

SONOGRAM 1/25/2007

According to the sonogram photos we are looking at our next lttle baby girl. Everything looks great and our next little bundle is scheduled to make her premiere on June 22nd, 2007. We'll keep you all posted through this blog as Shelly progresses through her latest pregnancy....

Kansas snowfall

We had another weekend of bitterly cold temps and wet weather. Mommy bundled me up and put in the snow so I could play. I didn't really do much other than look at my snowman that Daddy made for me and let the doggies lick my nose! Maybe next winter I'll actually make a snow angel?

I'm one!

Life sure is fun being one! Can you believe that my Mommy & Daddy let me eat cake with my hands and make a mess??? I'm not sure if who made a bigger mess~my siblings or myself!
I was spoiled beyond belief on my 1st birthday!

Harlem Globetrotters

We went to see the Harlem Globetrotters last night. They played the NY Nationals. What a crowd pleaser this show is! A lot of audience participation and lots of tricks! Mary enjoyed the music but it wasn't enough to keep her happy the entire time the Trotters were playing. We left a little early, but I'm sure the Trotters managed to win their game!

Happy New Year!

Welcome to 2007!
We welcomed the New Year early by toasting with our Sparkling Wine in our (plastic) champagne flutes and sounding off some poppers indoors! Matthew got UNO ATTACK for Christmas so after we chowed down on appetizers we loaded the table and played that game most of the night. Mary was in bed her usual time, she greeted 2007 when she woke up this morning at 7:30am! Aunt Shelby gave the boys a basketball goal for Christmas so the kids put on their coats and headed out doors on this first day in January to shoot some hoops.

Wishing you all a very terrific 2007! Peace!

Merry Christmas! We woke up Christmas morning with no snow unlike what the weatherpeople had forecasted.

The kids ripped through their packages in record time and left a complete mess! We finally found the floor before it was time for bed.

We hope that you had a very Merry Christmas and that you have a great 2007!

Santas coming...Santas coming...

Having birthday cake with Abbey~she turned 9 today!
My puppies sleeping~oh how cute!
Helping Mom clean up after she made Abbey her birthday cake!

We are counting down the days that Santa will be here...7! I wonder what he'll bring for me. I have everything in the world especially two parents that love me a lot! Merry Christmas!

Getting ready for Santa

Mary put some on some new fashion jewelry today~guess she didn't like it much! The cries started as soon as it touched her little skin. Mommy even tried on the jewelry...isn't it beautiful.

Mary's first trip to meet Santa...she didn't like that either! It was alright until she looked to see who was holding her!

November 30th...

Helping Daddy clean up after making Mom's cake! MMMmmmmm Goood!
The cake was soooo good! Wish that we could have shared some!
DEAL OR NO DEAL?

The last day of November is here and we've captured a few shots the last few days worth sharing. School was cancelled today because of the icey mix that we got yesterday/last night. We are suppose to get up to 8" of snow today/tonight..maybe the kids will be here tomorrow to play with me too????

Happy Thanksgiving!

This is me on Daddy's bday at Chuck E. Cheese. I had lots of pizza and pudding! It was yummy.
My great grandma, Mumu, came to our home to be with us on Thanksgiving and my brothers had a Thanksgiving Mass in honor of grandparents so she came for that too.
After my pumpkin pie, I had to have my milk!
Eating my pumpking pie. It was sooo good!!!
Eating my Thanksgiving breakfast~mini chocolate donuts! What a way to start the day!

My Uncle John and Mumu were here for Thanksgiving. Tomorrow we are going to put up our Christmas tree! I can't wait to see that. All of our neighbors have hung their Christmas lights up so it's so pretty in our neighborhood. We have a deer in our front yard, but it's not real. We hope that you had a great Thanksgiving feast~we sure did!

I love you!

Let's catch up!

This is me on my 10 month birthday! Gobble, gobble, gobble!

I just love cupboards! I just found out that I can open up the doors and play with whatever is inside!!! I had to try every bottle in the cupboard just to make sure that they were all empty!

Yummy donut!! One of my favorites! Glazed!

Happy Birthday Daddy! Today Daddy turned "29"! He doesn't look a day older than 38! Shhh~don't tell him that I said that! We went to Chuck E. Cheese to celebrate. I loved the pizza that I tried! Mommy even brought me my very own special dessert~chocolate/vanilla pudding.
