Look at da FISHES!

These were the first words uttered by Miss M on our visit to the aquarium this weekend. It was her first visit and boy did we have a blast!

Miss M and the Lion Fish

As this boy was in heaven because we saw the sharks. (Sharks are all the rage in first grade this year. It was dinosaurs a few years ago, now it is sharks)

and of course, if J does, Miss M has to do it too!

We saw the jellies exhibit. They are so stinkin' cool. Just sayin'!

More sharks, and muscle flexing. Not sure why he was posing this way. Now-a-days, I don't understand half of what he does.....

I thought this picture turned out cool. Of course, my pictures always are pretty cruddy considering the pictures from all of the blogs I read are so good. When I get a spare couple of grand, I will buy one of those fancy cameras, I tell you! But I digress......

Unfortunately, the dolphin show was cancelled b/c two dolphins just had babies. So we watched them from the big window/tank. As they looped a video of the dolphin calf being born. over and over again. and again. Poor dolphin mommy....displayed for all of the world to see....:)

We had a blast though. I always get a little bit anxious taking Miss M to a place like that. (No strollers allowed) But she was wonderful. J was wonderful and it was a fun day for us all!

Earth Day 2011

J had the opportunity to participate in a service project On Earth Day. He and two of his Tiger Scout friends planted trees. The picture is hard to see but in the background you can see tubes sticking up. These are all trees. This group of scouts planted 20 trees that day. It was pretty cool. The had to dig the holes, plant the sapling, hammer in a stake and cover it with a tube to protect it from deer and other critters. They all did something to help the environment and they learned something as well! So proud of my little man!

My Little CAPS Fan!

We have some pretty big Washington Capitals Fans in our family, including now, Miss M!

She calls them Birdie-Birdies!

Aunt Ju-Ju's jersey is still a little big, but she can pull it off!

GO Ovie!
A very proud Uncle Tim and Daddy!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter from our house to yours! I hope you had a special day!

Princess?????

Miss M has really been into dressing up lately. She has a mish-mosh of dress up things, some princess, some fairy, some random stuff. Lately her ensembles have been, well, interesting.

Yesterday Miss M was sporting a fairy top and skirt, wings, snow white necklace and one princess shoe. and all while feeding her baby. Multi-tasking at its best!

Today we have the Snow White shirt, tiara, 3-D glasses from Crayola and a Hello Kitty watch.

Oh, and matched it all with striped pants......

She will certainly make her living by desgning the latest trends.....Don't you agree?

Love this girl!

Nothing new to say

I know It has been forever since I posted. Nothing is going on that I feel I can discuss on the blog. Lots of good things, some not so good things, although, nothing that is life threatening. Life is stressful you know? anyhow, just wanted to tell my three readers that I am alive. Hopefully, I can post some new pics soon,after I take some..... :)

Wonderful

We had a wonderful memorial service for my FIL and a lovely reception following where we got to catch up with so many people we don't see often enough. Please continue to pray for the family. My MIL is just so sad. there is no other way to describe it. here is a picture from the slide show that Paul created. It is of the day they eloped. almost 55 years ago. No wonder sadness fills her heart. So, please keep her in your prayers. she really needs them.

On a happier note, my best friend and my nephew and his wife are awaiting the birth of baby boys any day now. (and my bloggy friend Judy too :)) I cannot wait to hold these little blessings.
