Happy St. Patrick's Day

What a fun weekend!!! Dave is still studying like crazy for his PE exam and has been attending a preparation class every Saturday from 9am - 4pm; so it was a nice treat to have him be able to come with us to a St. Patrick's Day party Saturday night at the Patrick's. We had such a good time hanging out with friends. I love all of our sweet friends and their kids and so thankful to live in the small town of Marietta. Well it may not really be a small town but it sure feels like one which is all that really matters. Our little family of four.

Ella Kate had so much fun playing with all of her friends.

Sweet Ali.

Miss Priss on the phone probaly calling LeLe asking to go to the beach :)

Suzanne and sweet Allen

Johnny Boy loved having Kassie hold him.

Sweet Rhodes is so darn cute.

Big Buddies (Rhodes, Mimi, and Ella Kate). I am so excited that Mimi, Livie and Ella Kate will hopefully all be in the same class next year. They are such sweet friends and play so well together. Rhodes birthday is in November so she will be in the twos class next year and not with Ella Kate in the 3's. I sure do wish they would just bump Rhodes up into the 3's class - she is so smart.

Blowing bubbles.


Dave making fun of me for taking so many pics.

Senior and Junior.

Mimi and Rhodes loved playing in the bouncy house.


My sweet little boy. He was so good at the party.

Ryan, the host with the most! I love this pic!

Sweet Emilie and Baby Brant.

Ella Kate's favorite boy, Lee.

Sweet little Libby!

In the Words of Ella Kate

Here are some recent Ella Kate sayings that I have to write down before I forget.

1.) I was trying on a couple of sun dresses in the dressing room at Target and one of them was a long dress. When I put it on Ella Kate smiled the sweetest smile and said, "Mommy, are you a princess?" I thought to myself Sold, I am so buying this dress. Such a sweet little girl.

2.) She told me she wanted some water but not the kind out of the sink :) She meant she wanted the bottled water. So picky for only being 3

3.) I asked her what she wanted from the grocery store, "Dinosaur chicken and popcarts. That is all I need." What a healthy diet.

So Proud of My Boys

I have not been a very good blogger lately but life with a 2.5 year old and a 4 month old is pretty busy :) I am going to try my best to be better so I apologize if my posts are a little short.

Baby Boy is a rolling over machine!! He has been rolling over from his tummy to his back for a little while but now he is rolling over from his back to his tummy and then back to his back in the other direction. He is so proud of himself and Ella Kate loves to cheer him on with a "Go John Go John!"

Life has been extra busy lately because dear old Daddy Dave has been studying like crazy for his PE (Professional Engineer) exam. It is the last exam he has to take before he has all of the required licenses to be a professional engineer. We are so proud of how hard he is working and know that he will do wonderful on his test.

As for our sweet little girl she is keeping busy with school, swim class, gymnastics, and working puzzles. She is a puzzle guru and can work a 48 piece puzzle by herself in no time and loves to work the bigger puzzles (150, 300, and 500 pieces) with LeLe, Dave, and I. It is really fun and amazing watching her grow up.
