My Baby is 10 Today!

ByKaren

Happy 10th Birthday to my baby girl Allison. I can’t believe she’s 10! I’m so proud of the person she has become. She’s a super smart, loving, empathetic, fun kid that loves gymnastics, makeup, music, MATH and ZEBRAs! I love her imagination and how much she wants to be just like me. The older she gets the more she looks like her daddy and while she’d rather look like me, I’m so glad to have a glimpse of him everyday. I love her to the moon and back and so did her daddy!!! There was nothing more that he wanted than to see her turn 10, 16, 18, 21 and so many more birthdays. But he’s with her every day, I just know it! Happy…

Steve would have been 46 today

ByKaren

I have amazing friends. I spent the day with some of them and we had a great time. We went to dinner and we celebrated Steve. We know he was there with us because a song he loved, that we were talking about earlier today, came on while at dinner. Then we saw a boat similar to the one his parents owned while he was growing up. We all agree that was him telling us he was there. Thank you for all the birthday wishes for him, all the texts and love you all sent us today. It really helps and I appreciate it so much!!!

Day Five of Spring Break School Vacation {Birthday Party}

ByKaren

Today was day 5 of the girl’s spring break and the last day (not counting the weekend).   To end the week we had a birthday party for Allison at AC Moore.  She had her party there last year and loved it so much she asked to go there again.  I don’t mind because not only is it affordable, but the staff is great and she can pick her own craft. Before we began, she had them write their name on the table (which was covered with kraft paper) and also to draw a picture.   A lot of her friends drew pictures of zebras which I thought was adorable! Finally it was time to start the craft.  She choose to make a parachord bracelet but I…

Day Four of Spring Break School Vacation {Beauty Makeovers, Softball and Birthday}

ByKaren

Today was day 4 of the girls Spring Break.   It was so cold and windy today….. not crazy about this weather but it’s better than the rain we had yesterday!  At least the sun was out today. Today was Allison’s 7th birthday and she woke up very excited about the day.  But not just because it was her birthday but because we were going to Empire Beauty School for a day of Princess makeovers!!!  Holly and Allison were 2 of 8 girls, I mean princesses, that were going to get their hair, makeup and nails done! It went very well…. Allison ready to go! Holly started with her nails…. Allison got her hair curled…. Holly choose blue nail polish (of course, it’s her favorite color!)…

Day Two of Spring Break School Vacation {Daddy’s Birthday}

ByKaren

It’s Day two of the girl’s Spring Break and today we celebrated my husband’s birthday.   We usually go out for dinner to celebrate a birthday but we couldn’t tonight because Holly had softball practice and Allison had soccer practice so since the girls are home today, we decided to take Daddy to lunch for his birthday.   He chose Gregg’s and no one minded.  They have a special on Tuesday that when you order from the regular menu you get a drink and a desert for an extra $3.50.  That’s a great deal since the drinks alone are $2.50 and the desserts are $6.  So we took two slices of cake home to celebrate daddy’s birthday after practice. Happy 43rd Birthday Steve!  xoxo Holly has…
