Nifty to be Fifty

Well, it's official, 12:05 am and my mom is now 50 years old. Happy Birthday Mom!

The older I get, the younger birthday's such as 40 and 50 seem to be. My mother and I are so close in age, she's often felt more like a sister and a friend than just my mother. Most people generally do mistake her for my sister. So mom, here's to you at 50, you've always had youth and beauty on your side, and no stinking over the hill birthday will ever be able to take that away from you! I hope you enjoy this day and many years to come! May you always look more like my sister than my mother!

Family Happenings

Mike and I went out to dinner a few nights ago with some friends, and I discovered that there really are more people reading my blog than I had imagined. So, I figured it was time for a little family update.

Audrey has just graduated from Kindergarten and she is looking forward to being a first grader. She doesn't understand the concept of summer break and was mad when she found out she has to wait three months to actually start first grade! Ohh, I hope this excitement for school will last for many years to come!!! Audrey just had her 6th birthday, Kindergarten Program, and her second dance recital. Busy, busy May!

Parker (Audrey's cousin) & Audrey

Sadie can't seem to give up her thumb sucking, one of these days I suppose I should try doing something about it. Sadie loves to play outside with friends and cousins. She wants to do everything Audrey does, and often seems much older than three. She had a sleep over at Aunt Kanoni's this week, and she was just beaming from ear to ear when I told her she was invited. Thanks Aunt Non! Sadie has learned to spell her name, and who know's what else. She's not big on showing off, so it's hard to know just how much she really does now. Sadie's latest phrase is, "What the Hell?" Yikes, I know she's picked that up from me, and it's a good lesson I'M learning! Oh dear! I know I've got trouble on my hands with her!

Porter just had his first birthday. He is growing and learning by leaps and bounds. He took his first steps last week. He also learned to clap and wave good bye last week as well. Gears seem to be turning faster and faster with him and I'm starting to have a hard time keeping up. He is a mild tempered, happy, and sweet boy! He prefers mom if I'm around, but enjoys spending time with dad too. He is full of kisses and you are sure to get on if you ask him. Porter LOVES animals, especially dogs. He still doesn't sleep at night, and he is still putting everything into his mouth. We hope these two habbits end very soon!

Last but not least, here are the kids Spring Pictures! I have lot's of extra prints if you didn't get one and want one. Just let me know! Hope you enjoyed the update!
