My BABY is 11.....

Beyond words....

Halloween 2013

Mo was a Fox - from the viral video What Does the Fox Say? She was the cutest fox I have ever seen.

Vanessa was Razer (a Red Lantern from the animated series Green Lantern) - she won the Most Creative Costume in her age group in Groveport.

Harley was Cake Boss. Aside from cutting the holes, she did it all herself. She won Most Creative Costume in her age group in Groveport.

Trip to Gatlinburg 

My new best friend. Found him at Parrott Mountain.

Forbidden Caverns. Saw no bats so that was a bonus for me!

On the way up... 

 

on the way down.

Gotta love it.

Parrott Mountain. We were amazed at the experience.

Top of Mt Crockett

I'm not a NASCAR fan, but even I was excited to see Dale's car.

We LOVED the aquarium.

Pool Time

Vanessa at Titanic. She is fascinated by Titanic.

Wonder Works

 5th grade, 4th grade, kindergarten, breathe...Mo's first day of kindergarten. Breaks my heart.

 

 

 

We went to see Tecumseh. Vanessa and Harley were the only ones brave enough to get their picture with an actor. Mo and my nephew Jake said "No, thank you."



Mo at the Tackle Cancer Football Game. Go Braves!

 

Kings Island circa 1988-89. How hilarious is this picture?!

Last Year In Single Digits....

'Cause Harley Quinn is 9!!!

The girl is incredibly creative and amazing. She is constantly thinking of art where others see scraps.

At this point in her life she wants to be a cake designer/decorator. She has seen every single episode of Cake Boss. She has watched endless hours on YouTube of people making cakes, decorating cakes, giving advice about cake, you name it. She decided she wanted to make her own birthday cake...from scratch. Even after hours and hours and having to change direction a couple of times she STILL wants to be a decorator.

I am REALLY proud of this girl right here:



It's the Beginning of the End

 My baby has lost her first tooth.

Better late than never!

Prank Calls

Remember when you could call someone, anonymously, and ask if they had Prince Albert in a can?

Our kids have NO idea about stuff like that. Evidence:

I was visiting my Grandma Evelyn. She has a rotary phone in her bathroom. While I was in the living room talking with my Dad, Margaret and Grandma Evelyn, my cell phone rings. It tells me ahead of time that it's Grandma Evelyn calling me. I answer the phone and hear Vanessa asking me if my refrigerator was running. Hahahaha. Good one.

All 3 girls come giggling out of the bathroom. Vanessa says, "After we figured out how to dial it..."

Bawhahahaaahahaa!! Now THAT is funny. They had to figure out how to dial the phone.
