March 2011 Photos!!!

These are photos from our March of 2011

 In March East Bridgewater has parent teacher conferences.  This is Melanie with one of her 5th grade teachers, Miss Pereira.  She said that Melanie is doing wonderfully in school!!!

 Katie is waiting outside her classroom door for Mrs. O'Connor to come out and welcome us in for Katie's conference.  Mrs. O'Connor said that Katie is a wonderful student to have in her class!!!
                                    
 In November, we planted some tulips from one of Auntie Amy's friends...they are popping up.  Thank goodness...that means spring is on the way!!

 Katie is very excited about her new shoes she got for the Father/Daughter dance!!!

 Melanie and I went out to dinner at the 99 when Katie and Daddy went to the dance.

 Melanie's 1st competition of the season at Brockton High School.  This is her jazz routine to Name Game.

 YUM...we each had a cupcake from Britley's Cupcakes in West Bridgewater.

 Katie did an amazing job singing in the talent show at her school!!!

 Katie with her friends at the Father/Daughter dance!

 The Jr All Star team won Best Overall and a Double Platinum Awards at the competition!!!  Way to go!

I have done some PT for my knee...now I am ready to break these out again!!

February photos

These are our pictures from February...

This box of chocolates Melanie got from her CCD teacher...pretty good, huh?
Well, since she doesn't like chocolate (crazy kid!) Katie and I dove right in!!!

All this snow is crazy and danergous!!  The ice dams are making me nervous!!



After watching many cake shows on TLC the girls were begging to make cakes and cupcakes.  Since I was recovering from surgery, Daddy and the girls baked up a storm!!




Such a pretty face!!




Katie has been practicing endlessly to blow a bubble with bubble gum...
by golly she got it!!!




Katie did a great job frosting and decorating her cupcakes all by herself!!



We celebrated my birthday at Grammy and Grampy's.  Here I am with my girls!!



Melanie is hard at work making her cake.  She has decided, after watching a whole bunch of cake shows on the TLC channel, that she would like to be a cake decorator!! 
I think that she would be great at it...she can make ANYTHING out of ANYTHING!!!




Melanie did a great job frosting and decorating her cake too!!




This was my birthday brownie...my very favorite brownie!!!
Candy cane brownies (I froze some from Christmas)




Here's my real birthday cake!!!  It was GOOOOOD!!
Thanks to Auntie Bonnie!!




Pittsburgh, my little cuddle bug!!




On the road to recovery...




Rizzo kept me company while I was sitting in the recliner....I was lucky....she sits with noone!!!

Well, there is February.  Now we are hoping that March brings some warmer weather to melt this stinkin' snow that has covered our yards since before Christmas!!!  Bring on the green, March!!!

January 2011 potd photos

 Well...here I go...year 3 of our Picture a Day or "Project Life" album.  This year I may do more of a Pictures of the Month instead of Day.  Here are our January photos...



Icicles hanging from the gutters outside the slider in the back of the house.  My family thought I was crazy standing on a chair with the sliders open and the FREEZING cold air coming in the house to take pictures of icicles.  GREAT photo ops!!!  AND....BRRRRRR!!!



Katie with girls from her Brownie troop selling Girl Scout Cookies at Lowes in the COLD!!!




Another snow day and this one was with no power!!!  The girls made a fort on the couch and did some reading.




A heart...in the snow.




The amount of snow we have is unbelievable!!!  It is going to be here forever!!!




Both girls had projects due on the same day!!  We took advantage of a snow day to get them done!!  Yea us!!!




On another snow day we played games.  Slam is one that we got for Christmas.  "Snow" was an appropriate word for the day...again!!!

There you have it!!! January!!!  February is coming soon....    Stay tuned....
