Brenna rides!

Earlier this week Rich took Brenna out, after a while of not hearing the noise, I looked out and saw this! That is Rich & Brenna riding side by side, they made it all the way to the rock!!!

She did amazing following him around! 

How freakin cute is this! 

She is a natural!

Happy Birthday POP!!!!

We got to go over and celebrate a very special man on a very special day!!! 

And the girls were psyched to help open some b-day presents!

Granny & Pop with our little ladies <3 

Lavena & Tucker came for the celebration too!

and the Diaz's!! It was a night filled with laughter & smiles!! 

Before a fabulous dinner we played a few rounds of SPOONS, one of Estella's favorite games! It was a riot. 

We wish you a Super Happy Birthday Pop and a year filled with many blessings!! 

Much love,

Long weekends are full of fun!

Brenna has been beggin for a chance on Stella's skis! so it got warm enough for me to take her out =) 

She was awesome! every time she fell, she would get up and say dont give up, that is what winners do!! What an inspiration!! 

She is beaming! 

We got to celebrate Gracie Wakefield's 7th birthday party princess style!

what better way to blind fold little princesses than with a feather boa! 

So then Rich and I had an "unemployment" party to attend to =) a good friend left a business to start his own! It is very exciting and we had a blast! Granny & Pop had the girls and of course our little ladies were in the best care ever! 

This is the whole crew, some we knew and others we didnt, but it didnt take long till we were all laughing and having fun! 

Martin Luther King's Day we took mom and headed to the Royalty Inn in Gorham and played in the pool, for a LONG time! 

My girls are natural born swimmers!!!  

Next we headed to lunch and finished the day off with a trip to walmart, it was fabulous! 

Hope you enjoyed your day off too!!

Our weekend!!

Stella is starting cross country skiing on Monday so she took a pre-lesson by her expert teacher, Granny!! 

she did fabulous and LOVES it!!! 

Rich took Brenna on the sleds and then she was on her own, but my camera died, time to look for another =) 

And this is just the beginning! It has been since 2005 since everyone has been here all together! and the facebook event page has been created. It is on!! 

I had dinner with Joy and Charlie while I was in NY.

These are a few pictures from Christmas.  

Brenna loves black olives!!!! 

Joe and his family were able to join us for Christmas dinner.  

The girls are in love with Dominic and Madison.  

Tucker and Lavena left before we took this photo : (

Happy Birthday to Grandpa on January 3rd he will be 89 and Grandma will be 84 on January 9th.  They like apple blueberry pie w/ice cream.  Grandma blew out the candles before Grandpa had a chance.   

These are a little out of order, but you get the idea.  WE had a great Christmas break with lots of food, fun and  fellowship.   We were able to speed some time with Becca, Richie and their gang for New Years Eve.
Tonight is the end of vacation.  IT was wonderful and greatly appreciated.
I do wish everyone a Happy New Year filled with God's Blessing --- of love, life and laughter.

New Years Eve!!!

We made some party favors!

Before our company got here Rich got Stella out on the little snow scoot! It is Joe's (from RI) but he is leaving it here with us!! Stella was hooked instantly! Brenna didnt get a turn yet, but she will soon! 

Let the party begin! We wanted a quiet evening with a few close friends, that is exactly what happened just with lots of close friends that stopped by for a bit!! It was a perfect way to celebrate a fabulous year of 2012 and welcome in 2013!! 

This is the biggest group of the evening! we had neighbors drop in, mom & pop and some good friends that live close by!! Time for the group shot!

we had a little ping pong action!

we had a 3 year old taking pictures and directing us all where to be, it was hilarious!! 

Me & Momma <3 

Me & my girlies! 

The late-night kiddos! 

And the late-night adults! 

The "late-night" crew all spent the night so we could really let loose and know we are all safe!  

My new Year's kiss! We were all playing a game and the kiddos were watching a movie, no one realized it

 was midnight till about 12:02 oh well! we made it!

 

Poor Brenna came up to me about 11:30 and said mom I dont know what to do..she was beyond exhausted and couldnt fall asleep, it was so sad but darn cute. She snuggled with daddy and about 11:55 fell sound asleep. She almost made it ;)
