"I Know You"

At bedtime, we do Stories and Songs and the kids get to choose one story and one song each. Abby is in love with anything Disney Princess. Sleeping Beauty is her favorite (because she wears pink). So she always wants to hear the Sleeping Beauty song and story even though she had never seen it until a few months ago. This is a video of her singing the song. I think she is going to be a music lover, she even picks out the notes on the piano to this song and sings along. (It's just the first part, but still pretty good for a four year old.)

Abby Cadabby

Abby turned four in May. The poor girl, she had to wait for everyone in her family to have their birthday's before her. It was a long couple on months, but she took full advantage when it was finally her turn.

The moment she woke up on her birthday, she informed me that she was to be called "The Birthday Girl" and didn't answer to anything else the rest of the day. If you forgot, she would say."You mean Birthday Girl?"

This is a picture I took of her when she was about 1 1/2 years old, just a couple of months older than Gracie is now. I chose it because you can tell from her face, even at that age, she was going to be a fun child. Abby is full of love for everyone and makes friends where ever she goes. She is called Abby Cadabby by most of the neighbor kids. We all love her a ton!!

My Little Monkey

Yes, this is how she crawls. All the time, every time. I think it must come from the Corry side of the family :)

Gracie's Firsts

I started this post clear back in the beginning of April, but I couldn't get it to work.  So finally, here it is.
  

Gracie sat up at six months
started crawling at eight months (video to follow later)
got her first tooth at eight months
stood up at 10 months
took her first step on her first birthday
finally took a bottle (that I had to get her to drink by using chocolate milk at first) at 12 months
and only started sleeping through the night around 11 months




Gracie turned one last month. Please don't look too closely to the cake, it didn't turn out how it was supposed too. I thought I found a recipe to make whipped cream frosting, but I didn't...Now that I've said that I'm sure you have all noticed the cake instead of the cutie featured.

 Gracie is such a doll. She gets comments all the time on how she looks like a Cabbage Patch Doll. When she is looking at people, she doesn't crack a smile or anything. I think she is going to be an actress or something because she is always studying thier faces.

I think that she is going to be the most spoiled child in her family, as she was born into a family of four that love her so much. Junior and Abby with both do anything for her and love to play with her any chance they get.

Six years already!!

This is Junior when he was little. What happened to my little man? He used to fit on my lap so easily and now he is all arms and legs. I can't believe he is already six.

Junior is such a sweet boy with a contagious laugh. His laugh could make anyone smile. He is extremely intelligent and is doing excellent at school. I am going to be so sad when he goes into first grade and is gone all day. We will all be so sad.

If you know Junior, you know that he loves all things Red and Spiderman. He starts liking other things like Bakugan but will always be excited for Spiderman. His favorite song is "Skidamarink". His favorite number is 10. His best friend at school is Ethan E. and he loves riding his bike and doing tricks that I think are too old for him to be doing.

Happy Birthday Junior!!

Jay's friend party

Every year Jay and his friends from High School get together and have a party. We eat, talk and have a white elephant exchange. This year I had to work so I couldn't go. :( But, Jay did bring me home a great gift, the "Shave my Legs Jenny!" I laughed so hard! If you look closely, you can see the real, yes real hair on her legs.

New Pictures

My Aunt Karen, takes the best pictures. I was trying to channel her when I was taking these of my kids.
