2 MONTHS OLD!!


Well little Willie is officially two months old. My how time flies. That just means I haven't slept in two months, not wonder I am so moody these days! It was time for little Willies 2 month check up. I had forgotten there were going to be shots involved! What was I thinking! I told Will to just stay at work, that my mom and I would go and get him checked out! Little did I remember , the shots were soon to come. Willie weighs 10 pounds and is now 24 inches long. He is getting bigger by the day! I love him so much. You can imagine , looking at the pictures, how bad I felt for my little man. But he was a champ. Once I got to hold him, he was all better. Of course I had to blame it all on his Maimie!

Whats going on, I am in a room full of boobies and no one is giving me any milk!

That's NOT milk....

OK , that hurt, but I am a man. OK, OK,,, I am a man, but that hurt !

Some one save me!!! Please

That's the LAST time I go to the doctors with my Mommy!

MY LITTLE FISH!!!


My daughter LOVES the water! She is just like her Mommy and Daddy! We have her in swim lessons and she just loves them. Her cousin, Rich as he likes to be called now, is in her lessons with her. I think they cause a bit of trouble when you pair the two up! Ha Ha. She graduated from level one preschool. Hope you enjoy her pictures. She takes to the water just like a little fish! Gotta love her!








That's right, I got my diploma!

Look at me hold my breath!

Nothing is to cold for me,, 1 ,,2,,3,, here I go!

Who needs a life guard! I can handle these waters!

Ok, OK, I will follow the rules, my hand is on the side!

I am just too cute for worlds!

My swim coach. She is so nice, and helps me!

ST. PATTY'S DAY....

If you know me well, you know that my favorite day out of the year is St. Patty's Day. My ladies in NC helped me to celebrate it last year,,,, and boy did we celebrate. I think I felt the effects of the partying for a week after. This year was MUCH different. No green beer for the new mommy. Although , if i know my kid , I think he wouldn't mind a little milk mixed w/ beer! Ha Ha! St. Patty's Day in VA was SOOOO cold. The wind was ridiculous. My niece , Alex, was in the Manassas Day parade. So of course the family had to go see her and her girl scout troop walk the parade. We were all decked out in our festive green outfits. Alex was too cute. She is the girl w/ the black jacket and waving to her family, who was screaming her name. And a parade wouldn't be a parade unless the United States Marines are involved. The USMC band played some patriot music! It was wonderful to hear! I never get tired of it! What was sad was the parade was dedicated to local marine KIA in Iraq. They had two marines standing at attention throughout the entire parade. It seems everywhere I go I am reminded of the great sacrifices out military goes through. I am a proud marine wife..... I have a great husband and tons of friends that help keep our wonderful homeland safe! Thanks to you all!

I know I got a little deep. Sorry. Hope you enjoy the fun pictures. It was a great DRY St. Patty's Day for me. I had wind burn for a week!

I never get tired of looking at a marine in uniform!

Willie is wearing green , I promise. It was so cold out there!

Who is that? Yes its Jackie Rose w/ an Afro!

The Gang.....

Best Friends, always gotta look alike!

Jackie's first time ice skating

Aunt Sarah would be proud

Baby Willie's first Ash Wednesday

Will has always loved to ice skate. He has`waited a long time to take his baby girl. Jackie loved skating with her daddy so much, she hasn't stopped talking about how cool her daddy is. Having children is an awesome experience. They really open your eyes to a world of fun and unconditional love!

Our family went to Alex's piano competition last weekend. We had so much fun. Alex has really come a long way. Jackie was a bit jealous that should couldn't play on the piano while the competition was going on. So of course , after it was over, she got right up there and played us her song! She is to cute. We sure wished we lived closed to her Aunt Sarah. It would be wonderful for her to teach Jackie to play the piano! Maybe one day....... you never know!

Ash Wednesday came sooner than expected. Time to give things up ,or like I am doing, do something to better yourself. You can see our ashes, and I thought you would enjoy seeing baby Willie's first ashes. He had not clue what was going on. Jackie on the other hand couldn't understand why we had dirt on our heads. She was to cute!
