Visit from the Grashoff's

The Grashoff's came to Picayune for a visit. Dane played well with Phoebe & Gage. We all had such a good time. Here's a video of Dane chasing them around the house. Thanks Erin & Steve for making the drive, it was sooo great to see you all. Gage & Dane are still amazing kids. We love you all!

Skating & Tea... in Picayune

MawMaw wanted to take Phoebe to the skating rink while we were in for a visit. It was a good time. :) Although Mommy couldn't get comfortable skating! It's like all of my weight was on the back of my feet, so it was tough keeping my balance. I decided to put the skates away and just take a few pictures and a video of them skating. Too bad PawPaw was at work, we sure did miss him being there. But we had a good time.


We went to lunch at the Sweet Serenity Tea Room after skating and it was delicious! We all cleared our plates. Then we tried on some hats and boas. :)

Phoebe's 6th Birthday -Party

Phoebe turns 6 on Dec 20th, and her party will be on Saturday, January 7, 2012. It looks like we'll have it at Stacey's Dance Studio from 11:30-1:00. The theme will be Hello Kitty. We'll have a hula hoop contest, relay race, tumbling, playtime with the parachute and some dancing. The kids will also be able to choose between having their faces painted like a kitty or pirate and if they don't want face paint, they can choose a tattoo. Should be fun! MawMaw Tessie will be in charge of favors, and she always gets the good stuff! :)

Kinleigh's First Birthday

We came in town to attend Kinleigh's first birthday party in Picayune, which happened to be on Aggie's 30th birthday. We decided to stay the whole week since it was Thanksgiving. Kinleigh's party was so beautiful, they had a candy buffet, a beautiful cake, space walk for the kids and great food for everyone. Kinleigh wore the cutest outfit ever. They had minnie mouse ears for the guests to wear. It was a wonderful party, and we were glad that we could make it.

After the party we were heading to a dinner to celebrate Aggie's birthday, but we didn't make it in time. So we went and hung out with Scott & DJ Todd until Aggie got back to St Bernard. I ended up going out with them and left Mikey and Phoebe by Aggie's to hang out and sleep. We had a wonderful time and it was great to hang out with the family. It was me, Tammy, Aggie, Brian, Mom, Destiny, Brittanie, Max, Chris, Faud & Shan. Such a great night with no drama. Britt, Des, Max & Chris left around 10:30 or so. Great, great night.

Phoebe won 1st place for Red Ribbon Week

She brought home a certificate, but I thought they had just handed them out to everyone, lol. Then I saw this week's Bulldog Bulletin and she was listed as the 1st place winner for Kindergarten. :) YAY! Go Phoebe! (Click on the image to view it larger)
