I just caught up Breanne. Potty training huh? Best times of my life! And I hope you had an alright day with your Dad's anniversary. I miss my Grandma all the time. Sometimes it is so surreal that she isn't here anymore. I know that death is necessary, and eventually a good thing, but I hate the hole it leaves behind. I'm glad you did something as a family in honor of his memory.
i enjoyed reading your long post :). No, seriously I didn't even think it was long when I was reading it. You and your family are so cute, and do such fun things I could never get bored!
Awwww, I love that Mara is a little princess. I don't think Phebe even knows what a princess is. I think I'm going to have to start getting her girlie stuff. Right now, her favorite toys are stuffed animals and trucks.
How fun!! Gotta love those little girls..they can be awfully sweet!! Looks like you had a great time! Not to change the subject..but Lost is on tonight..what will we find out tonight? dandandan
I hate Chuck E. Cheese. Especially waiting in line to turn in your tickets when the little kids in front of you have hundreds of tickets and pick out dozens of 5-10 ticket items at a time, taking 10 minutes between each decision. Pizza's not bad, though.
Sorry this is a long one! I didn't mean it to be so long LOL!So I was debating whether or not to make a slide show of the weekend, because now that I have made one, I want to make more!! But I decided to just do a few pictures, so here we go!
[Image]On Friday, Xander had his Pre-School Spring Program. They sang some really fun songs, and they all had parts from the book "The Very Hungry Caterpillar". He got to say "On Sunday he ate through one cupcake, one lollipop, one pickle, one piece of bubblegum..." [Image]He does so well at memorizing things, (only because we drill him on them) So these are pictures of them singing their songs and doing actions. They even sang Zip-a-dee-do-da!! That was my favorite, only because he had been singing it all week.
[Image]Then later that day we were able to go to Chuck E. Cheese's for my niece Conli's Birthday Party! It had been awhile since we had been there so Xander was really excited to be there! He was the big winner that day! He was playing Skee Ball and I was chasing after Mara, then I heard the siren go off near him. So I ran over to see what was going on and an employee came over, turned it off, and then gave me a voucher for 131 tickets!!! Turns out Xander hit the Grand Prize on Skee Ball, and the only way to do that is to get a score of 450,000!!! (There is no way I could have done that) He has such a great left hook that he must have got the ball in the 100,000 spot a few times. And of course how kids are, he didn't really understand what was going on :) LOL! So, after that he just went around playing games and bringing me [Image]back all his tickets. So when we counted them all up he had 260 (with the 131 bonus) When we went to cash them in, he only wanted 4 things that were all 10 tickets each!!! So I have a voucher for 220 for the next time we go. (Kids are so funny) And I had to put this picture of Mara after she was done eating her cupcake. (this is her cheese face) I love how kids faces get so messy and they don't even notice!! While we were at the Cheese, Mara was liking to run around and sit on the chairs of the[Image] car games. Actually, those were the only places she would stay for more then a few seconds. They have so many little ride things that you put a token into and it moves. She has climbed into one, I put a token in, it started to move, and she freaked out and would have anything to do with any of the moving machines, until we found this one. She loved it because it only went in circles. Then I couldn't get her off of it when it was time to go! It was a really fun day, and I'm glad we were able to be there for Conli's bday. I only got one picture of Conli that afternoon, and she wasn't even looking at the camera :(
[Image]But last night the whole Ramey clan got together to celebrate Conli's 3rd birthday. And of course the girls had to get their favorite dresses out and play dress-ups! (Mara does this everyday!!!) So we were able to get some cute pictures of the girls together. My brother JD even put on the music to "Enchanted" and all the kids danced around to the songs! It was so cute![Image] It was a really fun night and I am glad that our family is so close and we are able to get together often. It's fun to watch the kids play together (when they are nice to each other, lol) Xander and Max played Star Wars Lego on the Wii and they were quite happy together, which was nice :)
[Image]This second picture of Mara is her "I'm a princess" bow!! She does this whenever she has a dress on, I love it!
[Image]Here is Lisa (my sister-in-law) Conli and Mara! [Image]And I love this picture! Mara is so sweet and I am so glad that she is in our family :)
