Little Miss CMS

Bella got to live a Dream last week. She was selected as Little Miss CMS and got to walk with the court for homecoming. She presented the Queen with her flowers. Of course, this was an experience for Bella, who has always loved getting girly. She got to have her hair down, a pretty dress, new shoes. And hang out with the "Big kids" on the court. I think they enjoyed watching her as much as she enjoyed watching them.

What a weekend!

We celebrated the 4th of July with the clan on Mama's side at Nana's house. Our get together was Saturday the 2nd, and there were 22 people in attendance!  Including all 6 of my mom's grandkids. YES we got Emily for the first time that day.

We had a BBQ, burgers and hot dogs of course, plus all kinds of extras to go with it.

The kids had a slip n slide, pools, and water guns. Plus we made the awesome firework shirts!

It wasn't all Dr visits and Hospitals

while in Boston, we also took her out for a good time. And New experiences!

For the first time ever, she got to

• Ride a Train (SUBWAY)
• Ride a Ferry
• Fly (well okay, she did that before, but she was 10 months old and doesn't remember)
• Try Lobster (she didn't like it)
• Ride a Public Transportation Bus (and get lost doing so, Thanks Daddy!) 

She also got to

Cross over the bridge to get to the Navy Shipyard

I'll be posting more pictures of our adventures in the days to come.

I love my kids Imagination

The girls usually play well together, and often want to include baby sister. They are so fun to watch, because they have the greatest imagination. I caught them playing with a lot of the baby's things yesterday and the hilarity that it ensued was so funny.

This is not the baby's walker turned upside down, or her booster, or Izzie's tinker bell chair, nope. this is their "Sail boat" and they are searching the ocean for "dolaphants, and whales, and fishey wishies" For those that don't speak Izzie, a dolaphant is a dolphin.












More pics from today's fun posted on the 365 blog (which I'm working on updating)

Today we got some goodies in the mail

Though I had to hide some of them from little eyes (Isabella!).  

We got two new bottles for Miss Calleigh (One a new brand to try, the other a spare of one she'll take begrudgingly)  Normally I wouldn't worry with bottles, but sometimes its necessary for her to stay with other people when we go ot the older girls appointments, so she needs to take breast milk in a bottle. 

So far, she does seem to be digging the Sweet Pea bottle. And I love the pea pod cover for it!  SO cute!

We also got some BOON utensils -- Benders. For Miss Calleigh. They are for her easter basket (Yep -- I'm pratical)

Then we got some Soy crayons for the older girls easter baskets. 

And  a BG AIO baby gift.  :)

Hope the other package with our easter goodies in it makes it in time.
