Birthday hugs for daddy......

Noah and Ava both made handmade cards for Sean and were so PROUD to show and give them to DAD!

What's a Birthday without birthday spankings right??? 36 BIG ones handed out by Ava herself!!!

New addition to our family......

Noah's last day of school was Tuesday and his teacher was giving away the pet goldfish in their class, she had asked that a parent write a note giving permission for their son/daughter to enter the drawing. Noah begged and begged for me to let him enter the contest, so I said yes thinking that the chances of him gettign the fish were pretty slim........

Yeah well he came home with the fish.......Dang!!! Come to find out....I was the ONLY parent that gave permission for him to enter the contest and guess what....we have a family pet now!!! Noah has officially named him/her "Goldie".......

I give the fish 2 weeks tops!!!

Ava's First Dance Recital!!!!!

Ava's first dance recital was this past Sunday at the Grand Theater here in Wausau. All of her hard work paid off this season....she was the BEST and PRETTIEST dancer out there!!! These little kids were so stinkin cute struttin their stuff to the theme song "Meet the Flinstones"!

Ava was NOt very happy before the recital and would NOT let me take any pictures of her....she still looks adorable even though she was not very happy with me taking a picture of her!!!!
