Dancing Queen

Tonight Calleigh was in her bedroom, dancing away to her music.  She was shaking her thing.  It was so adorable. 

Wedding Bliss

Three years ago today, I married my best friend.  It was truly the best day of our lives.  Yes, it was a little hot outside, (glad it wasn't as hot as it is today)  We were surrounded with about 150 of our closest family and friends, we truly are blessed. 

My day started really early, there was hair, makeup and getting into that dress, that every little girls dreams about wearing.  I was a little nervous, about the ceremony, so many things to try and remember, but the high light was definitely walking down the aisle to meet my future husband. 

Andy's day started off not as early of course, not as much preparation to do, but still had to get ready for the biggest day of his life.  He was nervous, as well, and looked so stunning standing at the end of the aisle.

We had a full Catholic mass ceremony, and it went pretty well, and Andy and I didn't forget any of our lines, so that was good.  Next was of course signing our marriage license, and pictures.  A lot of pictures.  Then it was off to the reception for the party and eating.

This was truly the best day of our lives, and I am so thankful and blessed that I have a great husband/dad, that works hard and supports his family.  I love you with all my heart.  Happy Anniversary!!

Fun with a tent

Today, we got home from Art class, and I decided to set up her little princess tent.  I put it away awhile ago, because really it just takes up to much room in our house.  Well today, we needed something new to play with.  So I set up the little princess tent, for Calleigh.  She loves that thing.  She brings everything she possible can into the tent.  She even brought her little chair in the tent to sit on.  She had books and toys, in her tent, there was barely enough room for her to sit in the tent.  She even tried to get Cash (our dog) into the tent with her.  However, he had other ideas.

A little Angle

As you probably know, we attend mass every Sunday and have since Calleigh was only a few days old.  Of course there have been ups and downs, with sleeping in church when she was younger to, not wanting to sit and having to spend most of mass at the back of the church.  I think it has paid off, after seeing her today in mass.  She was a little angle.  She loves to greet everyone in the morning just before mass starts.  She loves to watch and listen to the music playing.  She points out the cross, and says "there's Jesus".  During the prayers of the faithful she always responds along with us "lord hear our prayer."  We get so many compliments of how cute and well behaved she is in church.  It just goes to show, that if you are consistent, and persistent of their expectations, they wont let you down.  We are very proud of Calleigh and what she is starting to become. 

Swimming at/with Grandma

 Before coming over to my mom's house, I asked Calleigh, "Do you want to go to Grandma's swim?" She promptly started taking off her pants and tried to put her bathingsuit on.  I told her just to wait until we got to grandma's.  Well we got to grandma's and walked into the house and started undressing herself.  I guess she just really wanted to go swimming.  Calleigh has so much fun jumping into the water.  She will stand at the side and say "one, two, three, go" then she jumps in the water and goes under the water and everything.  She loves to kick her feet and make big splashes.  I think the swimming lessons have really helped her become more comfortable in the water.  We look forward to going to Grandma Barb's and Grandpa Jerry's to try out their little slide into their pool.

Bowling

Today I had two girls that I do respite for.  Friday's are our day to do something fun.  Last week we went to the library, well today we decided to go bowling.  It was a lot of fun.  Calleigh even got in on the action.  (of course with the help of me)  It was so adorable, the balls were so heavy that she really couldn't lift them, but she tried anyways.  Hopefully her dad can teach her some tricks when she can actually handle and carry a bowling ball.  Here are some pictures of our bowling experience today:

Last day of Swimming

Today was the last day of swimming, and Calleigh has done such a good job.  She was so comfortable the last couple of days.  Not even holding onto me and walking around the shallow end talking to all the other kids.  Today we got to go down the frog slide.  I thought maybe Calleigh wouldn't want to go, but she surprised me, she went sliding down with no help.  And went three times, before we had to get out of the pool.  I think we will take a couple weeks off, then do swimming lessons again.
