Pajama Day!

Rylee's class had a Science unit on Night and Day, Lights and Shadows last week. On Thrusday, they had a Pajama Party at school! Ry chose to wear her ducky jammies and looked super cute!

Ready for bed? NOPE! Ready for school!
Her matching ducky hairbow she wore with her ducky jammies!

A Baseball Birthday for Daddy

We celebrated Marty's 27th birthday last Wednesday! We had a quiet evening at home with pizza, cake, presents, and balloons (the girl's thought Daddy needed balloons for his party)! I made his birthday cake myself - didn't realize that I had a touch of Marta within me!

Happy Birthday Marty!
Marty with his cake and balloons - balloons are TIGERS colors!

27 years old! I thought we'd go with the numbers 2 and 7 instead of putting 27 candles in the cake - didn't want to burn the house down!

The baseball cake - made by moi! Yeah, it's not perfect, but DANG I did a pretty good job for saying I was NEVER going to be so domesticated!

Baseball cupcakes I made to take with us to Michigan the weekend before his birthday - they were practice for the cake, but also a little yummy to share and celebrate with!

They were quite yummy!

Trend Setter

I'm telling you, Vogue and InStyle Magazine are going to be knocking on our door soon! Once they hear of the little fashionista that lives here!

Our little fashion bug with her new shoes and matching handbag!
"BUTT" WAIT! Don't forget the pull-up that goes OVER your leggings!

This style will be seen on everyone soon!
She's so funny and adorable!

The Gary Laritz Family

Gary started a new tradition over the weekend. When we're all together we're going to take a family pic. so that we can see how much we grow! He set up the tripod and we set our camera timers to capture these little moments!

Gloria, Rylee, Molly, Nick, Abby, Marty, Gary and Macee

This is the best pic. that we got on our camera, thanks to Martin!

Marty pointing at the camera, trying to get Macee to look!

Marty making a goo face at me - ruining the photo entirely...he is obviously the ONLY one who wasn't looking at the camera!

Special Valentine Candy

Grandpa got the girls fun Valentine glasses filled with pink M&M's for Valentines Day!

Rylee showing off her glass of M&Ms.
As soon as Macee got hers, she spilled them onto the floor. As her and Grandpa were picking them up, she knocked the glass over again! Seriously, Mace!

Finally, they're all back into her cup!

The girls with their candy - on their matching turtles!

BALLOONS!

Grandpa got a helium tank - what fun! We arrived on Thursday evening and there were balloons tied to the stair banister! The girls were so excited! On Friday, they spent time blowing up balloons - one for each of us! They provided for quite some entertainment once they started floating around the room!

Just hanging around with their balloons!
My balloon and I!

Grandpa and girls blowing up balloons - we learned to put LONG strings on Macee's balloons after she let it go and I about busted Grammy's lamp - and my face - trying to get it!

Some of our balloons - I believe the others had floated to the ceiling.

Macee pointing to her balloon that floated up into the skylight.

There it is!

Yeah, I'm a Soccer Mom

We traded our leased Town and Country in for a new Carvan...yeah, I'm staying with the tride and true "soccer mom" vehicle!

Our new 09' Dodge Grand Caravan!

Did you just say "duh" to the last two pics?

Ry checking out the new car - we have Stow n' Go again...YAY!

The girls and Marty checking out the new van!

Macee is standing on the seats - should I have expected anything less?

This is the very first vehicle Marty and I are buying together - all the other ones we've leased! We plan on having this for quite a few years! I LOVE my new soccer mom car!
