Cricket's 1st Easter

Cricket's first Easter was a great one!!  We went to Church, came home and Cricket got to find her Easter basket (well, we gave it to her.. she just got to look in it!), she played with her toys for a bit then we were off to brunch with Grammy, Grampy, Uncle Jim, Aunt Sarah, Uncle Dave and all the kids, Nanna, Aunt Amy and Uncle Justin, Emma and Jack (Emma and Jack weren'e feeling that great so we don't have pictures of them - hope they are feeling better now!). Then after brunch we went to Grammy and Grampy's house where we went swimming!! - yes, that's right I said swiming in April...  Grampy heated the pool for a week before Easter so that we could go swiming - this is kind of a tradition for us!!  Cricket loved it!!! - we are going to have a fun summer in the pool!! Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!!!!

Caution: lots of pictures ahead!!

Cricket and her Daddy!!

It is so cute to see Allison and Scott together! He is so great with her and she just loves hanging out with her Daddy!  When she sees him she gets a big smile on her face, the only thing bigger is the smile on Scott's face!! I just have to share some of the pictures I have of my wonderful husband and his little girl!

She loves talking to her Daddy

Giving him a pep talk before his softball game!

He even let's her hang out in his "man cave"!

I just love this one of him hugging her and giving her kisses!

Happy Birthday Emma!!

We went WILD at Emma's birthday party!! That was the theme of the party... It was at a gymnastic center where the kids could run, jump, swing and go WILD!!!  It was so much fun and Emma was just adorable as always!!  The crowd favorite was the rope swing where the kids fell in to a pool of foam!  No, Allison didn't get to do the swing but she did get to work on her new skill- rolling over!! 

Alli ready for the party in her WILD animal print!

David in the foam!

Bath time!

We took some pictures of Cricket at bath time the other night...She loves bath time! She loves kicking her feet and splashing water all over and she looks in the mirror and smiles at the baby she sees!! Its so sweet! I had to do the traditional mohawk for the pictures!




Those hands are always in her mouth!


All done!

St Patty's Day

I know this post is a little late but I hope everyone had a great St. Patty's day!! I hope you had some green beer and some corned beef and cabbage!! We didn't get to have the beer but we did get the Irish food! We had to make sure we celebrated Cricket's 1st St. Patrick's Day! So Grammy, Aunt Sarah and the kids and Allison and me went to a Irish bar/resturant.... I know you are probaly thinking what is she doing taking a baby to a bar... well, it's a bar in Frisco- one of the most kid friendliest places plus it was smoke free and it was during lunch so people weren't crazy yet....it was lots of fun and Alli really enjoyed it!!

Our little McCutie!!
Such a happy baby!!
Gumby was there!

Mommy and Alli
Someone had a little too much milk!! - Somehow I don't think she was the only one that passed out that day!
