Happy Birthday Auntie

Hope you are having a great day! Happy Birthday Sister!

I love our spa days!!

Girls day

Anna Grace and I went and got pedicures this morning. She has been asking for so long, so I told her that when we go to the beach we can get our toes done. She was so excited. It was fun watching her because some parts of the pedicure tickled. Drying time.....so hard to stay still that long!

End result......too cute!

I love my new camera!

I just got it today @ 2 and its already up and running! So easy to use! I just had to take pictures of my loved ones. (Jimmy wasn't home yet) It has a lot of great features and an automatic mode for those, like myself, who just want to point and shoot!

Apparently, it has a stealth mode allowing me to sneak up on the dogs without waking them....

Finally a new camera...

As many of you know, my camera was Terrible. On our way home from the coast we stopped in Fairfield to look at cameras. The one we decided on wasn't in stock so it is being shipped to us today! So, if you see me in the window all day, its cause I am super excited! Here is the one we picked.

Lost Teeth

Anna Grace has had quite a week. Monday she got her ears pierced, then Tuesday she lost another tooth! She was eating dinner when it came out.

The culprit...

Then......Wednesday Tay lost his tooth! The tooth fairy sure is busy at our house!

Last year, this year

Last year This year

Notice anything different?

Yep........she got her ears pierced! You can't really see them that well, but they are little pink flowers. She was so excited and very tough! Not a peep! She said the first one hurt and the second one didn't! She has been wanting this for a very long time. She is already taking great care of them!

Camping

We went to Calavares Big Trees this last week. We had so much fun. We went with Nana and my niece and her family. She has 2 children, Maddie(5) and Blake(3). My brother and his wife. My sister and her family came up too! She has Haley(3) and Alex(1). It was really nice to spend the time with my family camping. I have a great family! We are going to make this an annual event it was that much fun. Here are some pictures..

Recital

Anna had her Dance recital last week. She did great! There were four performances and she was up late every night and still did a fantastic job! She performed in 2 dances. Ballet and Jazz/Hip hop. She wants to start Tap next. It was really fun to watch her. She is growing up so fast!

Blue Suede Shoes...

Nana, Gram and Aunt Cookie came to watch. Thanks for coming!

She was spoiled with many flowers for all her great performances!
