Marcee turned 11 and WoW! She got some great gifts, including a 'nook' and a wire dress form (which she loves loves to dress up for school, lol)! We had a grand time celebrating with her. We went to her favorite restaurant, "the back house steak house!" more commonly know as "Outback Steak House." Then home for a movie, "Soul Surfer," and pop corn.
Marcee is a sweetheart. She is a good babysitter for her little brothers and is willing to help out when I ask. She loves to dress her 'own' style.
She is good at math, art and piano, and loves to read.
Happy Birthday baby girl!

Dress form ready for bed in her new night gown.

Surprise! Grandma and Grandpa got her a nook. She is sooo spoiled :)

Happy Birthday to You!

Willard turned 2!
I can hardly believe it!
He is a boy of few words but knows how to get what he wants. He is stubborn and a little sassy!
He loves to play and jump on the tramp with his sisters, and he likes to watch Jameson play the Wii. His favorite movie is "Curious George 2"
He calls trains "BahBah" and cars "VroomVroom." His sisters are "Sarsee" and "Sassee" and Jameson is "JayJa." Any food, treat or drink is a "Num-a-Num-a."
For his birthday he was given a giant stuffed bear, a new blanket for his big boy bed, cars, and legos.

His girls made him the perfect cake!

A Date with JJ

JJ and I went to the Tree House Museum for a mommy/son date. We spent the afternoon playing. He sat behind the presidents desk, dressed up like an astronaut, and climbed the giant tree many times. Then we went to lunch at Sandy's. JJ had a old-fashion chocolate shake to eat :) -he didn't touch his grilled cheese! It was so fun to just spend time one-on-one with him, he doesn't get that much with 2 older sisters and a baby brother!
