Dance Rehearsal

Here is my Dancing Queen at her dress rehearsal last night.  Tomorrow is the real recital and I will post a bunch of pictures of that.  She did great at rehearsal.   Claire loves to be on stage and did better dancing up there than she does in dance class.  Right before she went on stage she looked at me and said "I wish Daddy was here."  She is a daddy's girl!!!  

But I do think she loves her Mama too :)

Something VERY dramatic is happening during this photo!  

More photos to come of the BIG SHOW!!  Also, today was my last day of work!!!  So now we just sit and wait for Baby Oliver!!!!

 It's A Boy Celebration!!

Well, here I am 35 weeks and 5 days (but who is counting).  I know I haven't posted a pregnancy picture in a while so I thought I would post one today.  Today was a very special day.  It was my "It's A Boy Celebration" thrown for me by my Moms and girlfriends!

We all had a great time hanging out and chatting.  It was really special. Mostly because for your first baby you have a big shower and everyone makes a huge deal out of it.  Then your second one comes and no one makes that big of a deal.  But not MY friends! They had  special party for me and I LOVED IT!!  

I got lots of adorable gifts for Oliver.  Everyone was so thoughtful and sweet.

Everyone brought a little treat and everything was EXCELLENT!!

 

 

My girls (minus Shannon).  Thank you so much for all 

you do ALL THE TIME!

The Komo Girls.

Me and Susie.

Overall, it was just a really special and memorable day.  I love you all and I appreciate EVERYTHING you all did today! And today definitely made one thing very clear....I AM REALLY GOING TO HAVE A BABY IN ABOUT FOUR WEEKS!!!!

Mother's Day And Other Great Stuff!


First of all, let me say Happy Mother's Day to all of you mothers out there!! While being a mother is the GREATEST job on the planet, it is not always the easiest! So I hope that every mother out there had a great day!


We had a wonderful day full of presents, love, appreciation, and family!!!!  I unfortunately did not get one picture of me and Claire today!!  But I did get some other great shots from the weekend!


On Saturday friends of ours invited us to a special movie night at their local fire hall.  Well, Claire just thought this was the greatest thing ever.  The kids brought sleeping bags and pillows and they all got comfy on the floor to watch a cute movie.

Today was a double special day.  Not only was it Mother's Day but it was Aunt Sue's graduation day!!!!  

Congratulations Aunt Sue!!  We are so proud of you!!!

And yes I am aware how ginormous I look :)

Uncle Johnny was SUPER excited for Sue!!!

Busy Weekend


We had a very busy weekend full of Communion parties and a special Christening!

One of our communion parties was at a FireHall.  Claire talked about the fire trucks the whole way there.  Then when we got there she was very scared of them - which is funny because she is not scared of much!

Sunday was Owen's christening.  Mark and I were the Godparents.  He was so sweet during his christening.  When they put the water on his head, I thought that he was going to fall asleep.  He looked so handsome in his white suit.  I took a ton of pictures so I decided to just post them.

Here is the newly Christened young man!

I just love this picture.  Great Grandpa making Owen laugh.

Too darn cute these two!!

During the brunch following Owen's christening Claire disappeared outside for some much needed "free time" and while we were all eating we spotted this out the window:

There is NOTHING Grandpa won't do for this little girl!

Here is Claire sharing her "flowers" with Grandma.

My little angel.

Our family.  I got all teary thinking this may be the last picture of just the three of us.
