Birthday Weekend

Wow! What a weekend!!It started when Mimi and Poppop got to town on Thursday afternoon.  We took them and the girls to the mall on Friday to get some energy out....and April did the slide all by herself! :)

Here she goes:



She also discovered the tunnels....


Friday night, my cousin's family came over to give April her present since they could not come to the party....and we got this cute picture of Grace and Chloe: 

and then Saturday was party day!! 



We had a house-full of guests (because it was snowing! no chance of going outside...) but I think everyone had a great time.  April loved the singing, and had no problem with her cupcake:


neither did this girl:


Aunt Laura and Connor came all the way to celebrate April :)  Connor had a pretty good time!!

After lunch & cupcakes, it was time for presents!






April got so many nice things & cute clothes for the summer!  She'll be the style icon of the church nursery :)

The rest of Saturday was spent playing with Grandma and Grandpa:


What a weekend!  Tonight I take April to the doctor's for her one year check up.  I'll be posting her stats and what she's up to at 12 months this week!! :)

Wedding!

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Martin! :) We attended Natalie and Dallas' wedding on Saturday and had a lovely time. We know both the bride and groom from college....and just happen to be great friends with the bride's parents as well (Hi Bill and Doreen!). Here is the new couple - Natalie looked beautiful, and Dallas looked pretty good too ;) Here I am with the bride - check out her BLUE shoes! No wedding is complete without a little dancing and singing....particularly to Livin on a Prayer....Steve, Jeff, and Kevin sang at the top of their lungs and performed an air guitar solo: even the bride joined in: We had a great time! I'm thinking of the honeymooners.....kind of wishing I was on a tropical island somewhere too! :)

Baby Pool

Want to guess when Baby #2 is going to arrive? Post a comment, or send me an email, with your guess and I'll add you in! As a review, here are the rules to the game (taken from Heather Deterding!): 1. Post your guess for the baby's arrival in the "comment" section. Be sure to specify both date and time of day -- either "am" or "pm". 2. Limit one guess per person, and only one entry per time slot-- no sharing! 3. Winner is determined based on time of birth. For example, if the baby is born on April 20th at 7 AM, a guess of "April 20th, AM" would be the winner. In the event that there is no entry for the correct arrival time, the next closest guess based on actual time of birth would win. 4. We will post entries on the Calendar above. Check prior entries before placing your guess! Dates not displayed on the calendar above are still up for grabs. 5. The winner will receive... bragging rights and a congratulatory post h
