So You Think Annabelle Can Dance?

Bella always has to dance when music and/or dancing is on, so now that SYTYCD Season 7 has begun, she has a great time participating!

Gracie 9 months

Thought I'd load some recent pics of our baby girl.
We had blueberry pancakes for dinner tonight, and she loved 'em!!

She was reminding me of Charlie & The Chocolate Factory where the girl turns into a blueberry, so I said, "You're turning violet, Violet!" Then Bella goes, "You're turning violent, violent!"

Declan's Birthday!!

Declan turns 4 this Saturday, so we had his family b'day party tonight. He really enjoyed showing off his muscles and his gifts, especially his super cool yellow monkey rainboots! He also had a blast shooting Gabe with his new super soaker water gun, pretty much the only present he actually asked for, so we caved. :)

Silly Papa had fun chasing the kids around. He's really good at making a fool of himself. ;)

Then dessert! You have to check out this cake, made exactly as Declan ordered (green lizard, red eyes and tongue, brown tail, and rock candies). Way to go, Grandma!!
