Happy Father's Day from your first Father's day present.

Allie B is THREE!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALLISON. Allie turned 3 last week. Of course, if you ask her, her birthday lasted a week.

Allie picked out Little Mermaid as her theme this year.

She had her first "Friends" party with a few pals from daycare. They all had a blast. They got to jump on our trampoline, ate hot dog octopus's and we even did a small art project (fish sun catchers to go with the Little Mermaid theme).

After our friends left, we had our family party - IN THE RAIN! Nothing like fitting 27 people into your house as the rain pours and the sirens sound. Donovan was running around saying a "Tormado" is coming.

Allie got lots of Disney Princess toys, bubbles, Barbies and TONS of clothes. Thank you to all who braved the storm with us!

Mr. Smarty Pants

HAPPY GRADUATION DONOVAN!

Couldn't be prouder and even shed a few tears at his Graduation Ceremony. He as learned so much this year and very proud of himself!

Even though school is out for the summer, he wants to write in his journal at Nana's house, work on a Math workbook (he had to have me buy - He loves Math) and reads me a book every night. Let's hope this continues as he continues school. He really is Mr. Smarty Pants.

Off to conquer 1st Grade!!!

GOAL!!!!!!!

I am happy to report that Donovan scored his first goal of the season at Fridays soccer game. I unfortunately was not there (the carpet cleaning people were late) and missed it. Sad Mommy moment for me. Donovan was a cloud nine. They were even talking about his goal at his game on Tuesday. It must have been great one!

Smurfette

I spent most of Saturday painting Donovan's room. When I was finished, I put the top on the paint can, washed my brushed and put the roller in a bag on the dresser in case I needed it for any touch ups after the last coat dried.

Later, I am in the Kitchen getting dinner ready and I call Allison. I hear her say, "I am upstairs". I ask, "What are you doing?" to which I get the reply, "I am painting myself." I quickly go the steps and see my little girl head to toe blue! I quickly call Matt and we get her in the bath tub. The paint washed off just fine. How she got the roller off of a 4 ft tall dress, I do not know.

Sorry no picture, was more worried about getting the paint off!

Game Night

It's Friday...
It's Beautiful Out...
It's Game Night...

Donovan started his third year of soccer this month. It is the second season that his team-Extreme-has played together. The first game was a rain out, so I was so glad to see the sun today.

He plays hard, even uses some of his hockey moves. He likes playing Defender.

Sorry, have no clue what the final score was. I'll have to keep better track this week.

Allison Ballerina

I have been waiting for this day since I had Allison, Scratch that, I have been waiting for this day since I found out I was having a girl...Allie's first day of Ballet class.

To keep with family tradition, Allie is learning ballet from the same teacher and studio I had. ( and Aunt Jess )

As soon as she got up, she had to put on her Ballet outfit and tutu or "Tattoo" as she calls it. Bear in mind dance class did not start for 3 hours!!

Class went great, they have cameras in the rooms so you can watch your budding Ballerina from the waiting area.
