Easter Sunday all dressed up. I know I'm their mama but I have to say they are a good looking trio. Maryn really wanted a white dress this year so I got one that will fit her in January when she gets baptized but it goes all the way to the floor. She's been in heaven having a long dress she can wear in public. She reminded me that Cinderella has to lift her dress when she walks, so Maryn has been lifting her skirt most of the day. Madalyn didn't like the stitching on Maryn's dress because it was too "baby" So we found her a grown up girl dress that she was happy to wear. McKay really dislikes getting ready for church but we came to a compromise and he wore his easter outfit to church today. The girls felt like princesses today and even went so far as to let McKay know that he was thier doorman and needed to open and close all the doors behind them.....including helping them in and out of the car. McKay, being the sweet little brother that he is, happily fullfilled thier request. It was pretty cute!

This is McKay's turtle. The kids have names for all of these little creatures but I don't remember what they are.

Here is Maryn with her PINK Poodle. Very chic. It's another one of those grow in the water things. Doesn't eat, doesn't poop, doesn't bark and when the kids are tired of playing with it I don't have to take over. HA!

Madalyn's crab

Here is Madalyn with her hermit crab. Well, it's not real. It's one of those grow in water things because we won't let her have a real pet right now. She loves it and has had a ton of fun watching it grow. The little crab goes in and out of it's shell when it grows. Kind of fun.

Extra Extra Mckay turns 4 Read All about it....

Mackay turns 4 and loves the transformers so he had an All Spark cake. Among the other highlights is a transformer toy that incorporates the best of his two likes Star Wars and Transformers. He is growing up fast and furious.

A very quick review

Check out the slideshow! Erik figured out how to get it up and going. It includes a few pictures from our trip with Erik to Hershey, PA, a visit from Aunt Kate and Abby when we saw the Coca-Cola factory and the Botanical Gardens here in Atlanta, I think some swim pictures, Halloween 07, Christmas 07 and Maryn's birthday on January 24th.

Golfer McKay

McKay has been learning to golf from Daddy. He thinks it's fabulous fun. Erik has him trained to hold the club and get in front of the ball by saying "stance." He knows just what to do. Mommy made him some pretend holes out of upside down paper plates so he wouldn't have to always be outside.

Maryn's bike

Our Maryn Elizabeth recently celebrated her 7th birthday. She got her very own, not handed down from her sister, bike and rode it all by herself the very same day. She love, love, loves riding her bike and asks every day afterschool if she can go for a bikeride. Each time she chooses a different "friend" to ride in the basket. This picture has her bear from Grandma Ruth but I can't remember the name right now.

Madalyn's Ankle

Madalyn fractured her growth plate again. She ran into a classmate at school and heard it crack 3 times and then it hurt really bad. Her teacher at school didn't think much about it and I didn't either when she came home becuase she complains about it hurting quite a bit. Later that evening I noticed that she'd been sitting on the couch all afternoon reading instead of the usual bike-ride or trampoline so I went to look at her ankle. It was really swollen and purple all around and underneath her ankle. Talk about a bad mommy moment. We got her iced and comfortable and saw several doctors the next day. After being referred to a pediactric orthpeadic she was casted and told to take it easy for the next 6 weeks. She's having a rough time getting used to her cast but she's been a real tropper about getting where she needs to go. Her elementary school is 3 floors and she has to climb 4 flights of stairs to get to several of her specials, (music, drama, etc) She chooses to climb stairs instead of ride the elevator most days.
