Bring On the Bubbles



Miller was dying to get in on the fun. **See how he's pretending to blow bubbles~poor Mimmer.** :(

Eventually I conceded even though I knew the giant mess that awaited. Ah, the joys of motherhood!

Well, I'll say this for the little guy, he's persistent.


Sending you all a bubbly farewell!

Two Little Bakers

While Dan was on his golf trip the kids and I did some "bakeless" baking. This endeavor resulted in a cheesecake. Typically Lorelai is Mommy's Little Helper while Daddy wrangles Miller, but since Dan was gone I was lucky enough to have two chefs in the kitchen with me.

Before getting started they, of course, had to make sure that none of the ingredients had been poisoned! :)





Throwing some sweetness into the mix.

Looking a bit terrified as she tried to hold onto the beaters.

Mmmm, tasty!!!



Lorelai with her prized creation.

Yep, he managed to stick his fingers in and take yet another taste just as I was trying to take a picture of him with his masterpiece. I am also a little ashamed to admit that we all ate it anyway.

Cousins in Columbia

While our nephew, William, stayed with us for the weekend we took a day trip down to Riverbanks Zoo.

Our first stop once we got to the zoo was the overlook to feed the giraffes.


After feeding the giraffe Lorelai just kept screaming, "I did it, I did it!"

Our giggly, giddy girl.

My precious boys.


All aboard!



Pony rides, anyone?




Say, "Cheese!"

Exploring the aquarium.





'Round and 'round we go.




The End.

Celebrating at Chuck E. Cheese

Sierra celebrated her 5th birthday at every child's favorite place to hang out~Chuck E. Cheese! Lorelai couldn't have been more excited because although she's been there numerous times to play, she's never been there for a birthday party. She got to dance and play with Chuck E. Cheese, not to mention that she got to play all of the party games and eat cake!!! What a whirlwind day for everybody~Happy Birthday, Sierra!

A vision of my future~Lorelai as a teenager with a phone attached to her ear!

Sierra with the Main Mouse.

Dancin' the afternoon away!


"Happy Birthday to You!"

Hooray for the Birthday Girl!

Time to make a wish!

These expressions after opening her presents say it all.


A trove of "Tangled" treasures~complete with a personalized Tervis Tumbler from Ma.

The birthday girl and her friend, Anna Grace, got a turn in the Ticket Blaster. Most of the tickets got caught on their clothes or in their hair, but hey, "Finders Keepers!"


You Know Who.
