Show time!

Today was the last day of McCartney's ballet class. They preformed a routine for all the parents and she did great! It was so cute, it choaked me up. 

Miller's 1st Birthday

    M is for Miller!  You are invited to celebrate his first birthday!                           

One night we were reading a Muppet Babies book and realized that Miller looks just like baby Fozzie.  It's the big smile and golden hair or something.  We call him Baby Fozzie when he gives us his biggest grin, so we decided on a birthday party with some Muppet touches.  

While the others went camping, Em and I tackled a rolled fondant birthday cake.    

We were so proud of ourselves.  

All of his family came to his party, even his dog.

Ted and Rob had a competitive kickball game going on while the little kids played with outdoor toys that Nana brought.  

 We all cracked up when Miller picked up his whole piece of cake with one hand.  He is so funny and sweet!

Happy First Birthday Bruddy boy!!

Cousins camping trip

Ted, Rob, and Joe decided to take Brick, Leo, McCartney and Coleman on a cousin's camping trip down at the land.  You can imagine the planning and excitement that ensued, mostly from Ted. :)

They had a wonderful time shooting rockets, walking in the woods, cooking on the fire, and eating s'mores.  They all slept in bunk beds that Ted built and they actually slept all night, after they giggled for a couple of hours first.  It's going to be a bi-annual trip!

Ballerina rockstar

McCartney requested to take ballet so we signed her up for a little 6 week session. She loves to show us what she's learning. I think she's better suited for hip hop though. Little girl's got moved like Jagger.
