Ruana and Andy (college nursing friends) at Oliver Winery.

 "Sink the Biz" at Nick's in Bloomington. You know you're not in college anymore when you use Summer Shandy instead of the cheap stuff AND you give half your pitcher away! 

Ahh, it was fun trip down memory lane :) 

 Walking on campus that afternoon after a lovely brunch at Uptown Cafe.

 I purged a good part of this chaos and it felt so good! I'll have to post an 'after" pic sometime.

 This was Daddy's birthday cake. It started out as a large cupcake, but the cake part crumbled from the bucket load of frosting on it. Didn't matter, it was still delicious! 

 Summer hose fun has begun!

 This was my first bouquet of peonies this summer. They were so pretty!

 This is the best pic I could get of these two playing together that morning. They had been pushing the strollers around the house like they were really going somewhere.

 Sharing a pop tart.

 Best Friends!

I call these things "the Piranhas" because every time I stand at the sink they come over the side there and wait for the feeding frenzy to commence.

 She is getting so big, so fast!

 My new cat cover...decoupaged and jointed foam boards, 

stuck to sink with those poster command strips. 

This is an instagram shot of my daily routine of laying Lily down for a nap. Plus, you can see my favorite house slippers :)

 Emma's last day of Kindergarten. They sang a song after mass that morning.

 Lauren, Emma and Cecelia

 Go, Emma!

Mrs. Green's class

 We tried sponge curlers on Emma's hair and it worked!

 ...and her American Girl.

 Lazy day snacks

 Lily

 I snapped this pic of Max as he was laying on my chest on afternoon.

 My new (old) Pyrex I found at a Vintage Mart. Love them!

 Baby Snow White

 I went up to get Lily up from her nap and found her in full Snow White attire (still in her crib) with Emma standing next to her (also in full Snow White attire) reading a book to her. 

Soph followed suit once she saw the other two. 

 Our Fairy Garden

The two Tinkerbells are going to try it out.

Tim and I got tickets for the Snake Pit Ball last weekend. 

Mom snapped some pics before we headed out. 

 My airbrushed tattoo.

 We rocked out to Rick Springfield 

It was a pretty fun night out with the hubs!

Lily had put herself in a timeout for some reason. She hadn't even gotten in trouble.

Emma and Addie with their dolls watching Atlantis.

This cracks me up. It's an image from our video monitor. She was just chillin' out talking to herself and still snuggled up in her blanket.

This was Easter morning. Notice these two are sideways in our bed. No wonder we don't sleep well when they come down.

Lily thought she needed to beg for my toast that morning, too!

Sweet pic of "Lily Belle"

Sweet Soph

I know it's a tad far away to read the tail numbers, but this is Poppy doing a fly over last weekend.

finally!

I have figured out how to upload pics from my phone to the blog. Finally...Sorry, Grandma! I have quite a few to post over the next week to catch up. I'll begin here, in random order...

Easter in the church lawn.

She really works hard on her computer
