Bit of a performer on our hands.... 

Knock Knock

Mikey has been getting into outer space lately and is pretty fascinated with Mars and Mars rovers... (did you realize there are a bunch of them? I had no clue!)  So, a few days ago I wished him a Happy Earth Day... My super sensitive boy who wants to make sure no one is left out asked when is Mars Day??? Then he told me these jokes.... 

St. Patrick's Day!

Liz and daddy went to the Shamrock Celebration at our town rec program..... Little girl didn't really like the idea of leaving all her friends and the fun when it was all done!

We set up a trap for the leprechaun that was running around our house... We thought we had him but he got out... and left a whole bunch of gold coins for us!!!

Play time at the Shamrock Celebration!

My silly silly girl

My artists

Lizzy's final project from Baby art class... the middle is sponge paintings, the arms are marble paintings and the legs are finger painted! 

Mike spends a bit of time every day at school writing stories and books... Can you tell what this one is? No? It reads "I went to Alex Big Alex's hockey game" (I cleaned up the spelling a bit)... the guy in the middle is the star... #24.... Mr. Alex D'Agostino quite possibly the greatest hockey player that will ever be in Mike's mind... We've been to a few of his games this year and we think he's awesome!!! 

A visit with some terrific aunts and a fantastic uncle!

On the way home from the beach we stopped in Alexandria VA to stay with Donald's aunt. We had a pizza party and enjoyed everyone's company!

Uncle Roddy (Donald's uncle), Liz and Lizzy's new doll that was named Baby Roddy... they have the same hairstyle!

Great Aunt Liz and kiddo Liz

Aunt Patty travels frequently and recently purchased matching necklaces for Liz and I.... Each of our names are spelled out in hieroglyphs! So cool!!! Liz got to enjoy hers for a short time and now its in a special place until she's a bit older!

Aunt Patty, Mike, Lizzy and Baby Roddy... 

Spring Break! Myrtle Beach, SC

Building sandcastles

Swimming in Grammy's pool... she's a fish!!!

Hockey at the Children's Museum of South Carolina. Michael LOVED it. Watch out Big Alex! He's getting better!!! (Big Alex is a son of a friend and we've been going to his hockey games this year to cheer him on. Michael is his biggest fan!)

Gear wall at the Children's museum

At the Ripley's Aquarium! We watched a dive show at a reef and a Sting Ray tank and after each you could pose with the diver!

Lizzy's favorite? Announcing SHARK in a very loud voice each time a shark swam by!

Liz and the Jelly's!

A fish ate my kids!

Watching the fishes

Awww... he's just a big teddy bear!

Every year we've gone to SC we've popped Mike in a Margaritaville chair.... He's changed a bit since the first photo!

And sister gets a chance too.... 

Biking and scooting along the marsh... 

Before we left Liz had to model her new suit. And flip flops.
