Fakers!!!!

I called and called and called for the kids and finally found them like this behind the couch fake sleeping!!! Their a trip!!! I think it I had found them both really asleep I would have had a heart attack from pure shock!!

Fabulous Cake!!!

My friend Linda made this amazing cake for Madison's Birthday!! It was as delicious as it is beautiful!! Definitely the best cake I've ever had! Madison loved it but I think I liked it more than she did!! I felt like I had the Cake Boss come to our house!!! Thanks Linda!

Family B-day party!

Grammy!!!

A Jenn sandwich!!!

The 1st family photo in a long time where everyone is not only looking but smiling, it's a miracle!!

She picked out this baby herself with Grammy and named it Olivia from the Cosby show!!!

I got Drew a few Dollar Store gifts to open so he didn't feel totally left out!

And the gift she was most excited about was also the least expensive......go figure!!!

Proud of our boy!!

Drew had a fabulous day at school, he won a helper award for clean up after lunch and got a good report for behavior, listens and plays well!!

Wearing one of Marco's old soccer shirts from when he was little, so adorable!

Introducing......

Two new additions to our family.........
Goldfish, don't jump to any wrong conclusions people! Madison asked for a fish for her Birthday and named it even before she even got it and proceeded to ask Drew what his was named.......so he got a fish too. He kept saying, "My....mine......fish?" After a lot of deliberating from both of them she named hers Daisy and he named his Thomas, for Thomas the Train which he loves.
We already have had to replace Daisy, who died the day after we purchased her, good thing Madi didn't find out and I was able to replace her quickly. I mean the thing died before I had the chance to have the death talk with her, AHHHHHHHH!!! Madison when you read this some day know Mommy loves you and was only trying to shelter you from unnecessary sadness!

Birthday Breakfast

Opening a few presents before she got ready and headed to Preschool!

Ta-da!!! Ready to party!!

Happy Birthday Madison!!

Princess, we can't believe you are 5 years old! Where has the time gone? We love you so much and thank God for you everyday! You are so special and unique. You make us laugh and keep us on our toes! May God bless you this year in tremendous ways! Love, Mom and Dad

Sacked out!!!

Rainy day!

Marco took Madi for a run in the jogging stroller and it started pouring on their way back. She was so excited though and of course Drew had to get in on the action.....until he got cold that is, poor little thing was a shivering!! I guess that's what happens when you have 0% body fat!!

Madagascar 3 in 3D!!!!!

It was a great movie and the glasses worked out almost the whole time till Drew dropped his and we couldn't find them in the dark and then Madi's were getting "uncomfortable" for her so she'd take them off and say,
Madi: Why don't I see it good?
Me: Cause you need the glasses.
Madi: But there hurting my face?
Me: Then take them off!!
Madi: But then I can't seeeee!!!!!!!
Her compromise, she kept them on but held them an inch above her nose the rest of the movie....problem solved!!!
Oh and they brought their Zebra (Marty) and Giraffe (Melman)!!

Gotcha!!!

They were screaming and singing at the top of their lungs and I came around the corner and surprised them!!

They were so startled!!! But then the screaming soon continued!

Precious!

Madison hardly ever takes a nap anymore but she has to have a little rest time in her room and when I came to get her see was passed out at the floor, so precious!
