Gym Show

Anna had her first gymnastic show tonight. She was so excited to bring Marty and introduce him to her teacher Miss Mary and her friends. Anna enjoyed watching the older kids warm up and perform. As we waited for the Twinkling Stars to be announced, Anna couldn't contain herself and repeatedly started the routine. During class the moms help their kids but tonight the senior team members guided them through the stations. Anna left me in the dust just watching her have fun. Following the show we treated our gymnast to some ice cream at Friendly's.

Storyland

Anna is 3!! To celebrate we headed north to Storyland. We got very lucky the park was slow on Friday afternoon and we didn't have to wait for any of the rides. I think Anna loved the Polar Coaster the best. We took her to meet Cinderella but she got scared and decided to blow kisses from a safe distance. We spent a few more hours at the park Saturday. It was a little warmer and the log flume was a big hit. At three Anna has little to no fear of rides!

Memorial Day

Memorial Day Weekend we celebrate Anna' birthday with a small picnic. It was a hot summer like afternoon and Anna had lots of fun playing with her friends. I can't believe Anna is three already. Time flies when you are having fun! Currently Anna still really likes Curious George but everything Disney is high on her list, especially princesses and Tinkerbell.

Visitors

My Mom, Rowdy, the kids, Joey and Anna visited a couple of weeks ago. We celebrated Anna's birthday early with cupcakes. We enjoyed our first nice day in what seemed like forever!

Mother's Day 2011

Laughing at what Anna thinks is "Jumpy Squirrel" and is really a chipmunk.


Silly face Anna learned from George.




The best Mother's Day was a nice relaxing weekend at home. Marty even had the entire weekend off and didn't even get one phone call or text. Saturday we took Anna bowling followed by a carnival. She loved the slide and merry-go-round which she road three times! Sunday we decided to have a nice breakfast at home. We got somethings done around the house and Anna enjoyed (as did Mom and Dad) a four hour nap! We topped off the weekend with a trip to Aggies for ice cream.

Easter 2011

The Sewell Kids

Anna loved the golf cart.

Enjoying the great weather and family!
While it was snowing in Maine, we escaped to North Carolina for Easter. It was so nice to spend time playing outside with Anna. She loved playing will all her cousins. Marty even got to play his first two rounds of golf of season. Thank you Natasha and Mark for a wonderful weekend!!

April Fools Joke

Anna two weeks ago.

Anna today
Two weeks ago the temperature hit 65 degrees. Anna still insisted on wearing a hat and jacket even though it wasn't needed. Today we received over a foot of snow. After an hour outside Anna had to be bribed with an ice cream, blueberry and popcorn lunch. She was soaked through her snowsuit, which is a little small. Since it has been over a month since our last snowstorm I didn't think we needed to buy a new one. Although I'm not sure where I would find now that the summer clothes are out. Happy April Fool's Day!!
