A Few Random Pictures
.JPG)
Hi all, summer has been busy, busy around here. I've got lots of other photos for you in the near future but until then here are a few. Kacey did not think twice about entering the hula hoop contest at the beach even though she had no idea how to hula hoop. After losing quickly she took a hoop and practiced until she had it right!!! What a girl...also a couple of her looking way too old for me along with one of me, her, Heather from my team at work and Rusty Wallace a little brush with fame:) Happy summer everyone.

Oh What Fun!
Not a high level of skill but tons of TRY
With Sam and Adam after the big game of pool baseball.
Kacey had a very expensive seat for herself but my purse sat in it and she sat in our laps. She looks good in Cardinal RED
We headed to St. Louis for the Memorial Day weekend and took in a Cardinal's game, went to the lake to see Sam & Adam (and their mom and dad) and just generally had some BIG Fun. Here are a few pictures.

Mother's Day Weekend!
Photo #1 Whatever this guy was saying to her was not amusing I get this look at least a couple times a day.
#2 Here we are at the family fun fest on Saturday. It was Kacey's first pony ride! She had been a rejector in the past but today she was READY!
#3 Note the purse in my hand, I realized that I was not going to get out of participating in this gig so I had to throw it on the ground and hang on:)
#4 Kacey is up on the bridge of the boat I waited for the horns to go off or the boat to start up but she was very good.

Me and the pumkin head sweetie pie!
As I get ready to celebrate my 3rd Mother's Day I didn't want to forget to wish all my bloggy buddies, my Mom and my Aunt Beckie (avid readers) a very happy day! I celebrate mother's day every single day with Kacey but it always feels extra special that second Sunday in May! I thought I'd give you guy my top ten reasons I love being a mom..here we go:
#10 I love being called "Kacey's Mom" at preschool, hi Kacey's Mom, look at my new dress Kacey's Mom. Some may not enjoy losing their identity I feel like a super hero with my new title!
#9 I get to color as much and anytime I want to and nobody looks at me funny in restaurants.
#8 I love children's books I've always been a very big reader and this gives me the chance to revisit some of my favs and make a few new ones. 5 Monkey's Go Shopping is a true classic LOL!
#7 Getting to spend lots of time outside I forgot what it was like to just hang out in the front yard in the late afternoon picking flowers (aka weeds) and looking at lizards really close up!
#6 At this late stage in my life I'm mastering the art of pony tails and proper hair dressing.
#5 The clothes (this can also be one of the most challenging things) I love the dresses and shorts and cute shirts and how beautiful olive skinned girls look in jewel tones. She takes my breath away many mornings:)
#4 The beach is a whole new experience for me...I didn't feel the sand on anything but my toes or do much swimming for the past many years and now I really don't even need to bring a beach chair a couple sandy towels will do just fine...oh and about 20 different buckets and shovels to make our masterpieces.
#3 Who knew you always needed to hold your mommy's hand even if you are just walking across the house. I love that feeling, it doesn't matter where we are going far or near she wants to hold hands!
#2 Watching Kacey make other people smile, my mom, my dad, my brothers, my friends, complete strangers this girl has a way about her...when she feels like that is when she doesn't you can feel the ice from 10 feet away!
#1 Having someone love me best! I have always felt very well loved but there is no greater feeling than knowing you are someone's absolute favorite person (most of the time) and that they love you unconditionally and always. Also the fact that when your are 4 you never forget to say it out loud many times a day for a cookie or a hug or just because. She always reminds me that you can't tell people enough how you feel.
Love you guys! Happy Mother's Day.

Happy Easter Bunnies!
Easter is over and boy did we have fun. It started early and lasted until we watched Kacey's new movie before bed. We had Emily and her family to add to the fun and that was great. The girls hunted eggs, ate candy, ate dinner, ate more candy, ran around the house like banshees, ate more candy, swam, ate dessert. Do you see a pattern here. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season no matter how you celebrate!

Been Cruisin' & Loved It!
The stairs were like a magnet she glided up and down them every time we walked by!
With Mom at Dinner and Nana at lunch!
Kacey, Nana Susan and I just returned from a cruise to Mexico. We had a blast although the weather was less than cooperative on our days at sea:( Kacey loved the dining room and getting to wear pretty dresses every night she took the 9-12 foot seas like a champ and acted like she'd been doing this for her entire life. We had fun too.
