Daddy, are you ready yet?

This was a question that Anna would frequently ask her Daddy. She would say "Daddy, are you ready to have a puppy yet?" Well last week, he actually said yes! We are proud to announce a new member of our family and her name is Winnie! She is part Lab and we have no idea what else. The Vet that we got her from said that she was a golden, but they were obviously mistaken. (never going back there again)

We are having a lot of fun with Winnie despite her stinky-ness and her love of nibbling!

Welcome home Winnie!

Anna and Daddy Time

As you can see, Anna and Daddy are having a little bit of bonding time. Anna is VERY into having her nails done and felt that her Daddy needed to have beautiful toes like her. Luckily Daddy is never too proud and indulged her in a little Daddy/Anna pedicure time.

Poser

Anna helped with the Pink Pacers/Get REAL & HEEL/UNC Gymnastics Blue and Pink Meet. She was a huge help and as you can see...she still managed to strike a pose! She is so fun!

Snow Part 2

Whoaaaaa, look at that big lady! Isn't she cool? The Alley Dads got together and helped build a HUGE snowlady! I think that the kids had a blast making such an impressive beast! Thank goodness Anna had her helmet on for safety! We love our alley. We have the best time with these kids. I look forward to many snows in the future with many large snowladies!

Before we made the Snowlady, we made our mini snow woman! Isn't she cute? We think so. Although, the kids in the picture are a little bit cuter...

just sayin'.

Ok, I am not proud of how awful I look but it is still a cute picture. Mommy doesn't have to be cute all the time.

Thank goodness!

Valentines Day 2010!

I honestly did not think that Anna could get any cuter...but she proved me wrong.

Anna, this was the Valentine's card that you gave to your 3/4 year old Preschool Class. It is too cute. I hope I can top it next year! I may have set the bar too high too soon!

Mom, why is your head always in your computer?

You poor kiddos! Over the last few years, you have seen me with my face locked on a computer screen a LOT during the day. I want you to know that I am so sorry but am so proud of what all of this hard work is turning into. The Pink Pacers are making a difference and I am so thankful that you have been able to learn about how to give back since you were born! I started the Pink Pacers when Anna was 5 months old and we have not stopped since. You are 4 years old and we are now an official team and working locally. It is amazing and I look forward to watching you grow up and become a full blown Pink Pacer yourself. We call all of our kiddos "Junior Pink Pacers" and we can not wait for all of you to take over in the future!

This was a picture taken from our first event as a Pink Pacers working locally! We put together the Blue and Pink Health Fair and Gymnastics Meet! We helped the UNC Cheerleaders break their all time attendance record of over 2000 people! We also raised over $1000 for Get REAL & HEEL! I am so proud of our team. We are awesome! I am also so proud of our Junior Pink Pacers! You guys are allowing us to make a difference in our community! I look forward to watching you do the same!

The Pink Pacers walk on because we can not walk away.

Walk on...

Snow days!

It actually snowed and the kids had an absolute blast! We got about 6 inches of snow on Saturday and the kids were out of school until Wednesday! On Wednesday and Thursday, they were on the delayed opening schedule. All in all, we had a blast! We still are getting along even after all of the forced family time.
