Daddy Daughter Dance 2009

It was time again for the annual Daddy Daughter Dance at school again. Unfortunately, this year James was not able to attend since he was working. So their Papa agreed to be their date. He came all dressed up in his "monkey suit" as he calls it. He brought each of the girls a bouquet of flowers. We took a few pics before they headed out the door and I met them there. The moms host the dance and we cook as well as serve the food. We do it because we want to crash the dance. Shhh! Don't tell anyone. My dad had a wonderful time dancing with the girls. Later in the night his dates ditched him for their friends so he asked me out onto the dance floor for a spin. I haven't danced with him a long time. It was a special moment for me as well seeing him dance with the girls. It reminded me when I was a little girl dancing on top of my father's feet. Priceless!

Happy 5th Birthday Joshua

Our baby is five. How time flies by. Here are some pictures of him at his first kid birthday party at Jump and Fun. It was a big warehouse filled with different moon walks. What a great concept. Wish I would of thought of that! The kids had a blast. They jumped around for two hours and we sent them home on their merry way. Joshua fell asleep as soon as he got into the car. Here are some pics of him blowing out the candles on his cake, sliding down the slide, and his friends.

Girls Day Out Bowling

Joshua had a birthday party at the Bowling alley so the girls and I decided to have a girls day bowling. Anne Mari won the first game and Momma won the second but not by much. I have a few good bowlers on my hands. Who would have known! We had a great time. Can't wait until we go again.

Happy Valentines Day

James surprised us this morning with flowers. A dozen roses for me and a carnation for each of the kids. How thoughtful. He had to work tonight so we spent the night eating together as a family before he went to work. He is still my sweetheart after 19 years.

Sharing more pictures of Maui, Hawaii

Here are some more pics of Hawaii. There were so many pictures I loved I had to share some more with you. I forgot my camera when we went to the Luau so when Joe sends me his pictures I will share those with you. I hope you enjoy the sights of Hawaii.

Hawaii Pictures

Here are some of my favorite pictures from my trip to Maui, Hawaii. While in Hawaii I experienced an authentic Hawaiian Luau, humpback whale watching, and survived the long and winding road to Hana. I had a wonderful time and saw the most beautiful scenery. The weather was perfect the entire trip and I can't wait to go back again this time with James and the kids. If you get the chance to go on vacation you should go and visit this beautiful island.

Anne Mari's Cheerleading Team takes 2nd Place!

Anne Mari's Young Champions Cheerleader team took second place during a competition on January 17th. We were thrilled that they received second place against teams that had six more weeks practice time. Our girls were unable to practice as a team since the facility they used was damaged during the flood in September and the coach had to find other facility for our girls to use-which took six weeks to find. They will compete again in the Spring. If they do well they will go to Nationals which will take place in July in Michigan. Anne Mari is the one in front and it preparing to move to the next level where see will be a flyer!
