Friday Night Lights

Tonight, Libby attended her first Baseball game. It got cool, so Libby had to put on one of the boy's spare shirts (she sort of looked like a Miss-fit!)

Keaton played catcher for most of his game, and made a lot of awesome plays!


Uncle Chris shows Libby a few things about Baseball.

After the game, Gary, Libby & I went to Sam's to eat dinner. When we pulled into the parking lot, we saw our friend's cars. Shannon & Goob (and Allie), Mark & Dena (and Lilly, TJ & Kevin) and JP & Jill (and Kayla) had just left gymnastics, and getting a bite to eat. We pulled up another table to join them and had a few laughs.

Nine Months Old, Already!

Sophia & Libby turned 9 months old this week. It is so hard to believe, and it it amazing how much they have grown into their own personalities in this amount of time. They are still the best of friends, fighting only when one takes the other Cheerio, toy or Sippy Cup. Sophia is walking now, taking up to 5 steps at a time, and Libby is "cruising" around furniture and will take a few steps when she pushes her car toy.

Bariatric Buddies

Today my new manager, Lisa, was taking some photos of us at work for something. For those of you who don't know, I work on a Bariatric unit at a local hospital. Here I am pictured with some of my best work buddies---Amy R, Lina, Amy C and Lexie. Without them (and our good friend Sherry who is missing from the photo op), I don't know if I could survive my job. They make going to work fun! We are constantly playing jokes on eachother and laughing...all the while getting our work done and taking care of patients. Thanks, girls for making work fun!

Beautiful day for a Walk!

After a morning of errand running, Libby & I went to Angie & Kevin's house for a bit. It was such a beautiful day that we decided to take the kids for a walk thru the neighborhood next to their house.

After our walk, Libby & Josie pose for a photo (doesn't Josie look thrilled!?).

After our visit with Josie & Blane, Libby & I went to Mimi's house. Libby stayed and went for another walk around her neighborhood while I went to water aerobics. Here Libby and her Mimi (Betsy) pose for a quick photo before their walk. What a beautiful day to be out!

A visit with my Cousins

We went to visit Libby's cousins Josie & Blane today. Blane is just a month old, and looks so tiny next to Libby...and Josie, who just turned 4 in February, looks so grown up! Josie handed down a bag full of goodies to Libby today...mostly shoes, which Libby loves! After our visit, we drove to Seymour to go to the outlet mall to pick up a few deals! Libby did really well during the long ride and was so tired of shopping that she even slept the entire way back. What a fun way to spend a blah rainy Saturday!

Girl's Night

Amy, Joni, Jill, Shannon & I went out for our monthly "girl's night" on Friday the 13th. Superstition didn't hold us back from having a great time! We started the evening having dinner at Rocky's on the River.

After dinner, we headed down to Fourth Street Live. The girls stand next to the "Street Closed, Party's Open" sign.

We went to "Howl at the Moon". A fun piano bar on Forth Street. Here, we hung out, sang along with the music and chatted.

When I went to buy our first round of drinks, the bartender mistook Joni for someone who called her a name earlier on in the night. She almost didn't serve us, and then harassed Joni & Jill when the went to buy the second round of drinks. The girls & I were fuming mad after this, and asked to speak to the manager. Shortly after asking to speak the manager, the bartender sent us 10 free Bud lights to apologize for the mistaken identity. Apology excepted....and thanks for the drinks.

The drinking didn't stop there. Another round of free drinks headed our way---a round of orange & cherry jello shots out of a Tomey Syringe covered in whip cream. Delish. Please note that the photo above is one of the only pictures in existence of Shannon consuming alcholol. She did take the shot like a pro, though.

Amy & I pose for a picture.

After leaving Forth Street Live, we went to White Castle for a quick bite. What drunken evening would be complete without some Sliders and a Big Red? Thanks girls for a great night!

Libby's 1st Easter

We had such a great (but busy) Easter and Birthday! We started out the morning to find that the Easter Bunny had visited our house to bring Libby lots of goodies...a life jacket and beach towel will both be great this summer at the lake! Afterwards, we went to Church as St. Mary's which was literally standing room only! We made our way to Nonna & Pop's house for the best brunch that I had ever had!

Nonna, Pop & Libby on the deck.

Libby loved the Easter eggs (a little too much...she ended up with dye on her face & dress!)

Nonna & Pop got Libby a train that she had been wanting. As you can see, she is so excited! She kept on saying "OOhhhhh" and chasing after it!

We stopped by Mark & Denise's house for a short visit! Here Libby takes a second to pose with her favorite Great Uncle Mark!

After visiting Mark, Denise & the boys, we headed to Chris & Carrie's house for dinner. Keaton & Carson really got a kick out of the sand kit and clay kit that we got them for Easter! They couldn't hardly wait to open it up!

Oscar was not left out, either. Here he poses in his new polo shirt that the Easter Bunny brought him!

Betsy said that her mom always made this cake every year for Easter. It is a beautiful lamb, but we decided that it sort of looked like Oscar, too. You can see the resemblance, can't you? Uncle Chris Let Libby stick her finger in it! What a great day! Maybe Libby will be so wore out she'll sleep thru the night....one can only hope!
