Happy, Hoppy Girl

This little lady is becoming such a little lady! We have not been taking pictures as much as shooting video. She is at that age where she is doing so much that pictures don't do her justice!

This first video is her "Happy Song" dance. Apparently, the good vibes from "Sesame Street" inspired this dance and song.

Memorial Day!

So this next one is sparse, we took like no pictures, so these will have to do! Our friends, Maggie and Paul and Tess from Boston were in town, so we had a barbeque! Jen and Maggie have better pics I am sure, but here is one funny video. Colby, Elsa, Emma and Ella throw caution to the "Three Kids Maximum" rule and serve as quality control for the slide. And honestly, Emma and Ella are so light, if there is a weight capacity, I am sure between the four girls, it averages out just fine.

Note: there was one pic of Maggie, Tess, Brighton and Brandon, but it was not flattering, so I think we all would agree to omit it. You all can thank me later ;)

Cannonball Run to Gettysburg

So I know that this does not make people feel better when we haven't blogged for 2 months and update the blog with something from May, but........We had a blast in Gettysburg! Colby and Elsa ran around, enjoyed the history, rolled down the big hill at Cemetery Hill and had an all around good time.

We also thought we'd treat the dearly departed to a peppy version of "Old MacDonald,"
we hope they enjoyed it!

So where the heck has Colby been? Well the weather is getting nicer and it is the start of party season.
Elsa started it off in March with the first and coolest 2nd Birthday party I have ever been to. She is my best friend, so of course I'm going to say that. I had to look my best for my best friend. Aunt Jen said the party was at high noon, so I assumed it was western themed. My mistake.

But I got to hang with my all my friends. So that was good.


A few weeks later it was the E's birthday. They have the same birthday...crazy. I mean they have 2 of everything else, why not the birthday? Sara and Danny throw a pretty good party. Thing were pretty crazy at their new house so I had to protect myself.


I went with the ninja look and no one asked any questions.

Yesterday it was Trevor's party. Yeah, I know, I'm getting tired just talking about all the parties. So again, tons of kids. Quite a few new ones here. I went in a new party dress. I know I've seen it somewhere before but it was new to me.


So here are all the new friends. See I told you there were a lot.


There were so many, there wasn't even enough toys for us to play with. So we all had to cram in the wagon together. I'm pretty sure that girl is on my foot!!


So that is all for now. If you started reading at this post, continue below. I have so much to catch you up on. Oh I didn't even mention Happy Mommy Day Mommy or Gettysburg. Jeez.

Yeah, it was Easter Too!!

Right, the family came for Easter. It was so long ago, I forgot why they were even here. Here are some rapid fire pictures of our cute outfits and easter egg hunt.



Isn't my mom pretty.

Elsa blowing some bubbles. Pretty in pink.

Arlo with and egg in his hand and one on his forehead.


Me playing easter bunny.
So good to have family and friends around. What a lucky little lady I am.

First Hip Hop Album Cover

I'm not really sure what our band name will be but we already have the cover.

DC Family fun

The whole family came to visit a while ago. It was so much fun having them all here from far and wide. My cousin Arlo came up all the way from Florida with Auntie Kate and Uncle Barry. This was the second time we got to play as big kids and we had a blast together.
We went to Washington DC for my first time. It was tons of fun. Road there on the train of course. High five for public transportation.



When we got there, we walked around and looked at all the pretty buildings and flowers. It was the cherry blossom festival. So there was a ton to look at. Here is the capital building and flowers all in one. That pretty much sums up the trip.



For some reason we went back a second day to see a museum that had tons of animals in it and see more flowers. It was a long day but this time Aunt Jen, Uncle Brandon, Elsa and Brighton came too, Oh yeah and Grammie and Grammy Lou. Plus Nene and Grumpy of course. Sheesh, how do you expect me to remember all these people. Any who, all the kids thought it would be best to just run around in the shade at the mall when the grandparents saw more flowers. We had a great time playing in the dirt and grass pushing around the stroller. But man, good thing we had Monday off from school because I was beat.


More on the visit to come.
