April Vacation

April Vacation:
Started out with a show: Gamma, Morgan and I went to see Riverdance.  Morgan was so excited! She loved every minute.  She had to use the bathroom in the middle of the show, so we left, ran downstairs to the bathroom, but she didn't want to go because she was so worried about what she was missing!  Her favorite performance was the tap dancers vs. the Irish Step dancers.  At the end, she asked "so, who won?!"
 After Riverdance we went to the new Ritz for a grown-up treat, and a Morgan treats: drinks and a sundae! Can't get better than that!

 A goofy smile with that tooth hanging out, but it finally came out last night! All she now wants for Christmas is her two front teeth! Oh, and an ipad 3!!! She's got a sense of humor too!

The rest of this week has been all about potty training Maddie.  She's doing great, but we've been pretty homebound which is a shame only because it's been such a beautiful week.

 We celebrated our last day of vacation, though, yesterday with a little picnic in the yard.
 She was sitting with me eating one minute. The next she was up and telling me "I have to go potty. You stay here!" She would go in. Come out. Have a bite to eat. Go back in the house. This went on about 10 times when finally she was opening the front door - and alas, just couldn't hold it anymore! Oops! At least it was outside! :)

Kevin might not be too thrilled I've posted this, but how cute (and enormous!) is he!! What a big boy!! (He's just sitting on it - not riding yet!!)

 And since we had to stick to home, we didn't venture much from our street.  Morgan was working on some ball skills (which I don't have any pictures of), while Maddie was playing street hockey!  Dressed in pink from head to toes!!!


                                           Auntie Annie's going to be one happy lady,  Maddie!


Goal!!! Yeah Maddie!!!

 And here's our soon to be walker.  He's still working on it, but look - he has shoes on!!! And after walking outside for a bit - I'm hoping he has motivation!!!
The kids are growing up so fast. I'm disappointed I haven't been blogging as much but that would be me enjoying every precious moment!  And also, working full-time, mom of three 6 and under - that  might have something to do with it too!!

Happy birthday to my BIG BOY!!

Connor turns 1 today! Happy birthday my BIG baby boy!!!

One year ago today Kevin thought I was playing the April Fool's joke of all time...he wouldn't answer his phone so I had to send him a text that said "it was time and we (my Mom and I) were headed to hospital."
His response?
"Seriously?"
Oh, yes, several hours later, my one and only baby boy was born. The nurse handed him to me and said, "Congratulations, you have a toddler!" All 10 lbs. 1 oz and 22" long and of course, red-headed baby boy!! We love you William Connor!
Auntie Annie, Gamma and Papa came over to celebrate yesterday!
Such a big boy! How has it already been a year?!Connor loved the cake! Though he got a bite with mostly frosting and decided that was too much! Maddie would have gladly taken it off his hands!

Best friends...Papa and Connor. He would rarely leave his side!

The girls help Connor open his birthday presents. Yes, they're birthday presents even though it's wrapped in Christmas paper. Kevin thought that Christmas paper would be better than bright pink birthday paper! :)
Oh Maddie! There are no words!
In Morgan's defense - she was at another birthday party beforehand, so she had lots of cake!

What a great birthday Connor! We love you so much!!
