THE CIRCUS has come to town!

and the most amazing party goes to.... Stella! yes- this was the invitation- are you kidding me?!

there was a puppet show.

swingin on the "trapeez"

carriage- yes, carriage rides.

gift giving AND Pedro the pony petting

photo shoots WITH animal masks.

there was trampolin jumping~

popcorn, cotton candy, cupcakes and hotdog eating~

there was juggling~

animal crackers were the party favor- of course they were~

and THESE were the cupcakes and THAT was the party hat- are you KIDDING ME?!

THANK YOU Brookie and Stella for the funnest party ever!

ELLIE

oh my word- what 2 month old has hair like this?

SCOOTER! yes the left is how she started...and the right is where she ended up when i looked back at her-she is such a crazy kicker that she scooted that much.

The Step 1~

lately- we have been doing some of this (Cinderella watching Cinderella)

a lot of this- playing at the lake- and yes those are Emmy's newest obsession- tadpoles

going on walks and playing "mommy" (oh wait that's my life!)

(the first bath) you may notice a common theme in these top pictures- Jason is nowhere to be found...

that's because he was here (we call it the cave) his little study nook- bless him for spending his every waking moment in this tiny little spot.

BUT on April 12, 2011 Jason took his USMLE STEP 1- it was a VERY HAPPY DAY!! Since then we have been doing of the following:

helping me!!!

going to Disney and having FAMILY time!

and napping (ok- this was just once but I thought the pic was so cute it had to be included)-- among a lot of other things.

so- the story with this picture is that Apple sent Jason a whole bunch of things- I kept them and wrapped them so that we could have an after Step Celebration and celebrate we did! HOORAY for J and all of the hard work he does for us-

red flowers take 1

There is this GORGEOUS field by Josh's school-

It called to me when I saw it-

We snapped a few pictures while we waited for Josh.

Elle was asleep for this shoot-

but she made it to the next one- so don't worry- PS- this picture~love it!

I'm soooooooooo happy that we found this- could it be a prettier spot?

Mrs. Smiley Pants.

yep- that's what we call her-

and no- she could NOT be more adorable.

oh those eyes!

I had to make a collage- I just can't pick between the cuteness.

so happy together!

when one is smiling- the other isn't...

nice

adorable ;)
