Wacky Wednesday

OK... very late in the day but still Wednesday by my book! Sophie and I played in the front yard on Sunday and she was a scream! She was dancing to her music and running around having a great time! Her little friend Natalia was just arriving for our playdate. I was snapping some pictures and had no idea that I captured her in the act of looking like a head banger rock star! She is one wacky, fabulous, fun kid! I just love her!

Band Aid of the day...

Yes, this is where Bug decided to put her band aid, all by herself one morning of Spring Break... and she wore it there ALL DAY!!!! She even treated herself to a powdered donut before mom opened her eyes... quite the independent young lady now!

Luckily, it was one of the cloudy and gloomy days and we spent the day out of the sun. BUT... she was quite the attention grabber at the outlet mall! Everybody had to stop and ask about her boo boo, which she was quite proud of. I guess I should be proud that she put it on perfectly straight and symmetrical across her nose!! Everybody we were with just cracked up and after a while began explaining to strangers "her band aid of the day". Ha!

I know you are hanging on the side of your seat to see where the next one will show up!!! LOL!

Wacky Wednesday

Today truly was Wacky Wednesday at Sophie's school in celebration of Dr. Seuss week... I snapped these early this morning on our way out the door, so excuse the fake smile!! She completely picked out her wacky outfit herself and I put in four pigtails complete with different color bows!



And because we had so much fun last night, here are some pictures of Bug and her Uncle Tyler (my brother) at Waterfront Park where we played before dinner! He is staying with us for a couple months before he moves west. We have LOVED having him with us and as you cad tell, Sophie ADORES him! It makes my heart so happy to see them together!

My little monkey!

High fiving after a successful slide!

Happy Wednesday!

See new post below this post for Grant's exciting news.

Sophie absolutely LOVES her little buddy, Roberto. We went to his house over the weekend to celebrate his two year Forever Family Day. She fell in love with his toy tool bench and all the accessories... especially the goggles!! This picture cracks me up!


Maybe I have a future carpenter on my hands!!




Watch out Ty!!

How wacky is this???



She is holding her Piggie flashlight that she picked out for her bravery award last night.





My poor bug dislocated her elbow last night while playing a simple game of 1,2,3... Wheeee... you know... when you pick them up by their arms and swing them forward and listen to them squeal in delight. Last night... not so much.

At first, the Urgent Care Doctor determined first, that it was not broken, but Nursemaids Elbow (when the elbow comes out of the socket and has to be reset) and reduced the dislocation and sent us home. However, this morning, she woke up unable to move her arm and in alot of pain. After two trips to the pediatrician, she has her new stylin' sling and an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon tomorrow to see what is going on.

Please keep my little bug in your prayers that it can be fixed easily and she is out of pain. And, please... learn from my mistake... don't play the 1,2,3... Whee game!

A little background... I am the oldest of four kids... I have three little brothers. My middle brother, Tyler, was born when I was 15 years old and is just the most amazing man (I almost said kid, but he is all grown up now). He is enjoying a gap year between graduating from college and starting life in the real world. He is working as a bellboy at a hotel in Steamboat this winter and gets to enjoy the benefits of his beautiful surroundings on his days off. He sent this picture of himself on the slopes and it is just amazing...



Is that not gorgeous??? I am so jealous!!

A picture from Sophie's first snow back in January 2006... I can hardly believe this was taken two whole years ago!!



Poor thing... decided she did NOT like the cold white stuff.

Wacky Wednesday

My daughter, Morgan, runs cross country. Each Wednesday is a different "Wacky" theme and she and her friends really get into it! This was obviously a pool party theme... that is my crazy kid on the far right. They actually ran around in a public park looking like this. They WON the prize this week for Wacky Wednesday!!



I love my nutty, fun-loving first born baby girl!! With all the ups and downs of parenting a teenager, she sure likes to have fun!!

Hey, should this be a recurring blog theme?? Could be fun!!!
