Happy 1st Birthday Miss Clara!

The year of the 1st is still going strong.

Not only was it Claras 1st Birthday, but it was a beautiful 1st day of Spring too!

We packed up the kiddos and headed out to Duvall on a beautiful sunny afternoon. I must say, I missed the Valley a little that afternoon. Just a little. And I'm not saying that loud. I'm just saying. It was nice to be around so much green grass/fields. I loved seeing and watching how much fun the kids have out on the farm!! I even mentioned that to Matt and his eyes got so big and said, "Do you know how much work it is to keep up a place like this with all the yard maintenance?!" I don't think he wants to be out on the farm anytime soon.

The country bumpkins! Greg is not scared. He is was a total city boy.

Stephanie did an awesome job on Clara's party decor!

I loved all her flowers and the bright colors of Spring. It looked beautiful.

Nice work Momma Pick! :)

Max feel in love with this rubber ducky! He must have spent at least half of the party with his badunk wedged nice and tight into it and giggled the whole time.

He really could of stayed like this all day. We may need to get one!

And look...look who The Milian found!!

His Cougar girlfriend Pepper...2 days in a row..now it is love!

All the party goers.

Clara got the cutest Birthday tu-tu.

The crown is placed...

...the candle is lit...

...the song is being sung...apparently not in tune for Mayson..

...and the Birthday wish was made!

Dig in girl!

Nope, just sweet little gingerly bites, so dainty. Total opposite of Big Hoss!!

Well, total opposite of Miss Pie too!

But in her defence, it's chocolate with chocolate frosting and little chocolate pieces on top!

I had one too and felt like eating it the same way! :)

Apparently, the cute little blonde next to May didn't feel like eating it the same way.

Check out the look of ...are you alright girl?!!

Yep, I'm just fine! All cleaned up and ready to go stop in the mud and play with the boys!

Lucky for May, Clara had 2 different boots to choose from. Also lucky for May that her feet don't grow and they fit her!

Found some mud.

Found some boys playing in trees.

And found a tractor. That was Maysons high light of the party!

Max had the duck and May had the tractor!

We had a great time out in the Valley and Mayson slept so good Sunday night!

She is a Nation girl to the top of her eye balls. She loves it and can't seem to get enough everytime we go out there.

Happy 1st Birthday Miss Clara!

We will be seeing you soon. Your party was awesome!

We love you little girl!

Happy Birthday Captain Awesome!

This morning we all headed over to Bobba and Mimi's to watch the Dawgs and celebrate Captains Birthday and mine. Mimi made an amazing breakfast, (like always) and an amazing cake.

Too bad the Dawgs were not as amazing as the food, but the gear was worn and what else can we do?!

Cheer for the Cats?!

Captain and his cheerleader!

Matt and his yell King!

Uncle time!

Wheres your gear dude?!

Making wishes.

Mimi and The King!

And the model!

Thank you everyone for a really nice Birthday breakfast and the gifts. It was great to see you all and yes, MayMay and Bobba were there. No pictures to show though. Busted.

Happy Birthday Captain...my fellow pisces!

Happy 6th Birthday Miss Haley!

Miss Haley Joe turned 6 on Saturday and us crazy Morells were lucky enough to get an invite this year! We made an extra special grand entrance arriving about 30 minutes late. (give or take)  As we walked in to a packed house of everyone enjoying their pizza, Mayson was hiding her face in MY badunkadunk and screaming bloody murder! I had to walk really slow so I wouldn't fall over and I watched every mouth drop open and the look of  "wow" on everyones face. It was quite the entrance...

Ta Da...The Morells were in the house!

Miss Haley getting ready to make that magical wish...

..we all hope it comes true.

All the kiddos at the Birthday table eating yummy cupcakes.

Present time!

Robin told us all that Haley is into Hello Kitty, so guess what?! Hello Kitty is what she got.

The living room looked like the store front of Uwajimayah in the Hello Kitty section. It was border line ridiculous!

But I don't think Haley thought so. She was on cloud nine and really that's what we all loved seeing.

Every present she opened came with a screech and a loud, "this is what I always wanted!" It was fun to witness her Birthday "high!"

The Milian was roaming the house for some ladies his own age..

..then he ran into Pepper and I think he might of found himself a Cougar!

Lots of quality time was spent between these two this weekend.

Then he was onto charm Mrs. Bobbie!

He was lucky enough to get some boy play with Mr.Ray. Max loves his boys!

Then it all ended. Once again...stuck in the house with all the cackling ladies, while the big kids are riding jeeps, swinging, and going down slides.

Sorry dude...soon I promise you will be out there...soon...by SummerTime!!

We had a great time celebrating your Birthday Miss Haley! You are so sweet and so adorable.

Thank you for having us and thank you for sharing your beautiful family with us.

We love you!

Can we please come back to celebrate the B I G 7??!! :)

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Another fun little holiday we decided to celebrate and deliver our little shamrocks we made.

Mayson loved "getting to know" all about St. Patty's day. It was so much fun to tell her about the little leprechauns that come at night when your sleeping and bring you a present! So, she got to bed early so he could bring her a good treat! Matt thought I was CraZy for telling her this. He said, "you already told her that cupid leaves presents, now leprechaun's!" Yep! And come to find out...I'm not the only crazy in town! Well, maybe this town, but not in Arizona! I found another one...her family set out leprechaun traps!!

Yes, this is one I will defiantly do when the kids are older! I got to get the low down from Teri on how it works!

Anyway, this year we stuck to the simple of making cute little treats, followed with a good luck poem.

Max waiting for me to load the car.

His two upper front teeth JUST popped through!

You can kinda see. Late bloomer!

Finally, in the car to go get Sissy from pre-school to start our leprechaun deliveries.

With busy, busy Mayson running, running, running I did not get a picture of her in her Patty's gear. Trust me though....she has been wearing it non stop since she got it, so I know it will be put back on real soon and I will get a pic. It's really cute, so I don't blame her for always having it on.

MayPie did have her teeth cleaned today! She did awesome. She got the works. Minus the x-rays- not needed. The best news of all-

NO CAVITIES! (thank god again!)

We still go to my old office, but there is a new Doc there now and new staff. So, really we don't know them.

I was worried that Mayson would not be excited since she wouldn't know them...wrong. May loved it and chewed their ear off.

The hygienist and the Dr. both said that Mayson was very polite, and behaved/talked more like a 5 year old then a 3 year old! Awesome May..but please can I see some of that behavior?! :)

While Sissy got her chompers cleaned, Max waited with boring ol' me.

He waited for anyone to come to the office and give him some entertainment.

Still waiting...

Surprise...just kidding..no one came!

He finally got tired of waiting and took a break. Right on the clean dental floor!

He's our 2nd- he will be just fine!

When Mayson finished, she rushed up to me and told me to smell her teeth! She pulled me down and opened her mouth and blew her breath all over me!! "Don't my teeth smell pretty Momma?!" :)

We had a very busy day with stops at Dr.s for teeth and for baby Carlos- he is doing awesome too. And stops at Mimi and Bobba's and then out to the Nation to Grandpas. We even got a little lunch in with DawnK out in Fall City.

Hope your little leprechaun was as nice to you as ours was!

Happy St. Patty's Day!

p.s. if anyone knows where to get a trap..let me know! :)
