May 31st - 15 years

15 years ago changed my life.  A simple blind date that brought me my soul mate!
Here are 2 old pictures (b/4 digital) from 15 years ago. I am a very lucky lady!

Laney is very sensitive when it comes to smells so the Zoo had her doing a lot of this (pee phew)

love this pose

Went to get my favorite (homemade butternut squash & pumpkin ravioli in a cream gorgonzola sauce drizzled with a balsamic reduction)  WOW! I LOVE IT! I only get it once or twice a year so I took a photo - silly.

I love their expressions - they have so much fun

We had a wonderful afternoon at the aquarium.  The baby beluga was a huge hit.  The sea lion show was neat and the hands on fun was cool.  Nemo was there and Laney was very happy about that.  Out to dinner and being sung to ended her birthday and ohhhh she was a happy girl.  Awesome family day as our little one who turned 3!

3rd birthday afternoon (4/28/11) pictures for tomorrows post!

the night b/4

Did you know I truly have 2 children at home ;) ohhhhhhhhhhhh hubby's plan was to fill her playroom with balloons and hide all her presents in there for her to find.  So after she went to bed we blew up (with the vacuum attachment) about 300 balloons and this is what it looked like after all the hard work!!!!!! 4/27/11

B'day at school

The day b/4 her birthday we had our weekly mommy & me playschool so we brought cupcakes to share 4/27/11.  Laney has 3 things she never goes without playing with at school and 1 of those is the vet/dr. kit ;)

hot day and goofy girl =

We had an unusual hot day in late April so I let Laney play AT (see the word AT) the water table.  She was standing AT it and had her hands in playing while I went to close the deck gate and I heard extra giggles and saw this as I turned around.  Water table not a pool goofy!
