Sleeping Beauty

Today Mayson went to her 1st play!
Mimi picked her up and they meet her preschool class at the Kirkland Performance Center for Sleeping Beauty. I can't tell you how excited Mayson was to go. She got up and didn't want to eat, (not too weird) she just wanted to get dressed. May was ready in no time flat. She then called Mimi to tell her she was all ready for her. It was pure torture for Mayson to have to wait 35 minutes, but she did it. We decided to have a photo shoot to pass the time.

We even had time to paint the pigs sparkly pink.

The first of many plays for these two...I'm sure.

They arrived early enough to have the best seats in the house. (2nd row in the middle)

Mayson was an awesome girl...she stayed in her seat and didn't talk loud. She loved the play and when it was over she asked Mimi if they can do it again! I think Mayson will be a future thespian like her Mimi.

Mayson has been having "talks" with me

I guess I have been having a lot of  "talks" with Mayson lately, because over the last 24 hours, she has had a few "talks" with me.

Last nights talk....

"Momma, lets have a talk. Look at me...

OK..we are going to eat dinner then do Easter eggs. OK?

Did you hear me? That's what we are going to do.

Thank you for listening."

This mornings talk....

"Momma, lets have a talk. Look at me...

Don't let Maxie get into the toilet. Keep the door shut so he doesn't get into the toilet anymore.

Did you hear me? OK. Thanks."

Happy Happy Birthday DawnK!!

Miss DawnK finally caught up to the rest of us 37 something year olds today.

I made some special order lemon cupcakes and cakepops just for the big day.

The kids and I hand delivered them and then of course help eat them too.

Well, Max and I did. Mayson is not even a touch interested in any dessert unless it is chocolate!

Me and the boy will take what we can get! Matt too! :)

Making that special wish, while May blows all over it! :)

Cakepops. Should have been red, but she wanted pink.

Erik and The Milian sang a little and danced a little.

Saturday night we rounded up the "gang" and headed out to the Olive Garden (bday girls choice) and had way to much carbs. We all felt like we were prego by the time we left.

Dawn ordered 3 desserts after our pasta load. I was mad at her for doing so, until I tasted the chocolate cake. omg..a little too good. The Pie thought so too. She had a ring of chocolate around her mouth and kept wanting more. Maybe after a real good day on Mays part...we will have to reward her behavior with some OG cake?! Sounds like a good excuse to go back to me! :)

Happy Happy Birthday DawnK!

You know how much we love you and how much we all treasure your friendship.

I love how much our kiddos love you and how much you love them. Your a one of a kind friend and I'm the lucky one to have you as a best friend. Here's to another 21+ years of friendship! ohh old..gag!

Dump Truck Dumped His Bottle

Every time we give Max a bottle he ends up pouring it on the floor, table, couch, whatever. He refuses to sit on our lap and snuggle even for his morning and bedtime bottle. So, we  DT decided not to have a bottle anymore.

 We didn't really like this big boy thing, until we realized....we don't have to scrub bottles anymore!! Matt and I are not fans of the bottle scrubbing thing. So, we are proud to say we are bottleless until baby Carlos gets here!! Yippee Ki yeah!

Also, very proud that we don't have to go around cleaning up spilled milk on everything.

Love this big boy thing!

Kerry Park

This morning we all voted for a family fun day. So, we headed down to Seattle for some lunch then over to Kerry Park to burn off some energy. AND for me to FINALLY go to Kerry Park. I really don't think I have ever been here, so it was a double whammy.

Not sure why we picked to stand in front of this green thing, but we did.

There...I blocked it a  little a lot!! :)

Toe...

...heads!  Yumm!

I got the girl.

MayPie stayed on this slide pretty much the whole time. (look Mimi...no helmet!)

She could have used a little extra padding in her trunk though!

Matt had the boy.

Max loved the slide!

Plenty of padding on this dude!

L.O.V.E family days! Wish every day was one.

Morning feed at the Morell house

Yes...Milian finished his breakfast first, then started to help Sissy with hers.

Halloween in April

There's Christmas in July and now at our house there is Halloween in April!

This is what Miss Pie wore to dinner tonight. She dressed herself (obviously) and showed up in this number to eat dinner with us. I really should have taken a picture of The Milian's face as he starred at her. It was almost better then this number she had on.

Right before I took these next few photos, Mayson told me...

"Ok Momma, I'm going to pretend to be a scary ghost!"

So, be prepared for the scary ghost photo shoot.

BOO!!
