A Post About Nicole...

For Nic's birthday, all she wanted in the world was a shopping day with me and Monica...well...she got us and the kids! We had a 9 hour marathon shopping day searching for THE Birthday outfit for Nicole's big fabulous BDay at the Palms...we had a great day, but alas, did not find the one :(.

Hey mom, how long is this going to take?Sofia had a blast...true shopper just like Aunt Nicole! We thought we were done after a long day...but we still had Barney's to hit!

Derby Days

In an effort to get in the spirit of the Kentucky Derby, Mike wanted to throw an old fashioned BBQ complete with Mint Juleps - It was a beautiful day and I wish I would have taken more pictures! Below is what I have...

Chase was worried that his picks for the races were not right...Mike on his grill...

Chase seems pleased with his picks...

Ready for bed after a long day!

Chase's Six Month Pics...

...taken just after his six month shots...note to self: Pictures after Shots do not produce many smiles!

Happy Birthday Baby Boy!

OK, not really his birthday, but my little man is 6 months old today! XOXOXOXO

Would You Believe?

To know my husband is to know that he does not do household projects. Ever. So, much to my astonishment, he woke up this past weekend and decided to "improve" the house. This is how we started... ...And after a few hours of back breaking labor...

... here are the results...I'm so proud of him and can't wait for his next big idea...it took 3 years in this house for idea #1, let's see how long for idea #2!

Meanwhile, over at Grandma and Grandpa's house, Chase had a little lunch......Followed by some activity time...

...and then a little siesta to finish it off!
