As I was changing the background and overall look of our blog. I realized how much I really love the sound of bagpipes, it really makes me want to dance like Lord of Dance! Last year, I was in Ohio for St Patricks Day and we were in Dublin at a fun bar and they had cloggers. Patrick took me to a RiverDance show a couple years back, and it was one of the best shows I have ever seen! I would love to learn how to clog, it is on my list of things to learn! That list is really long:) Enjoy the music!

Okay, so here are the next round of baby belly photos. I am still going as close to the dates of photos taken with Elle. Elle's pics were taken on February 19th, 2007 and the new babies are today! Still had the same outfit for this round! Enjoy!

WOW what a week! We just got back from a great Ohio trip, but it was long. I think the running around, visiting family and being pregnant really got to me this time. We saw everyone we wanted and had a blast with them!

The night before Valentines; Patrick, Kathy, Keri, Dave and I went to 15 minutes of the Columbus Blue Jackets Game. Okay, we only watched about that much, the rest we talked to people we ran into in the halls.

Valentines night, we had my cousin-Kelseys wedding to attend. It was really beautiful! The ceremony was at their Methodist church and the reception at the Josephinum.

Sunday afternoon, my mom had a great get together! My uncle Bill, aunt Diana, cousins, their kids, moms friends, and sisters friends all came. The house was packed! Monday morning Patrick, Elle and I drove on to Dayton to visit with his parents. We hung out, went to the mall two days, to walk and let Elle play. We got back into Columbus on Wedsnesday evening. Thursday morning, dropped Patrick off at the gym then had breakfast with Kelli. Kelli and I have been friends since I believe the fourth grade. We are both pregnant and she is due one week after me with her first child! So we caught up, then after breakfast it was off to the mall. Patrick, Elle, my mom and I met up with my cousin Amanda, her babies and her mom. It was fun, but boy there were a ton of kids at the playarea. That night Patrick, I and his friend Jeff were to go to see Buckwheat Zydeco play. I was completely exhausted, and bailed on the boys. They had some good boy time though!

Here are the photos from our trip, Enjoy!

A Sunday filled with Family is always fun! Sundays are usually my cleaning day, but when people are coming over, it gets done at super speed. My grandma's brother Phil and his wife Naomi are in town and so they came over. My house was filled with people and pets, the two p's I like! My dad, Lee and brother came too. We watched wedding videos of my stepsister Ali and video of Puerto Penasco. Once Patrick arrived home from a long day at work, it was time to go eat. Teakwoods was perfect, Elle was tired and did not want to sit around, so she got to walk around the table. Kept her busy and QUIET! Here are the photos from our day, enjoy!

We've had a fun week! Since we head to Ohio next week, we have had some valentines fun already. Wednesday we went to our friend Aida and Lukas' house for a playdate. Aida was sweet and handed out her gifts to the kids early. She got them a stuffed animal and sucker. Elle absolutely loved both, would not put them down.

Then Friday, we had a playdate at the park with tons of friends! It was such a beautiful day and the kids were ready to play. They were dressed so cute, in their valentines colors! Here are the photos from the week, enjoy!

Our friends Zoey and Zach turned 2!! They had a fun party, with a jumper! Elle was not sure at first, but really ended up loving it. It was great seeing friends and Tera and Jeffs family. Enjoy the photos and video of Elle jumping!

I have added a new blog to my world! It is for my Home Interiors business, so check it out: www.homeinteriorsmomma.blogspot.com I hope to help you make your house a home at the end of the day!

Phoenix Zoo with our friends today was so much fun. Aida and I were talking about how we notice so much more on a kid level. We would have never noticed all the kid activities before, kinda funny! Nancy, Aida and Sophia and I took our kids to the zoo so they could see the animals. Sophia, Nancy and I have already been to the zoo this month, but for Zoolights. The only animal we saw at night was a zebra, not to exciting for the kids. Here are the photos from today! Enjoy.

Elle and I went to see Mickey Mouse and his friends! Elle loves Mickey Mouse, Minnie and the gang, so I took her to Playhouse Disney Live down in Tucson. We went down early and had a fabulous lunch with Ali. It was sad, I was thinking about the last time I saw her and it was at her wedding last May:( Not good, both of us are just super busy and time passes. She is pregnant too, so Elle and the new baby will have a cousin! Very exciting.

We were lucky enough to have some friends at the show too! Anne, Connie and Katherine were all there with their families. It was great seeing them and Anne was nice enough to let us come sit with them. Here are photos from Playhouse Disney Live! Enjoy!

We had a great day! It started out rough, Elle would not nap. She was really cranky, she ended up sleeping for a couple hours. After she awoke, we ate and were off on a walk.

The weather today was crazy, it was really humid and hot. We were all in shorts and t-shirts! Just wanted to share our day with you all. Enjoy!
