Preschool Playdates

Madison has had some fun recently having some friends from preschool over after school. This is Madison and Drew making some cookies.
Dress up is also becoming a big thing in our house.... here is a picture of Madison and Callen Porter testing out their "jewels"
The girls were getting all dressed up... when I asked where they were going ... Madison told me "Costco".

While the Daddies are away... the cousins will play

Every year the Daddies head to Tahoe for Super Bowl weekend... this weekend in the past has been marked with a lot of angst by the girls mostly because someone is always sick, pregnant, or has a newborn... or all three. This year we were determined to make it a fun weekend so everyone came to Chez Farrell for a cousins sleepover... and after everyone went to bed the mommies snuck out to drinks and dinner!! This is how Jack felt after spending the whole weekend with all his aunties and cousins. No hall pass for Ryan this year.. but Dylan did make it over for the first cousins pick as you can see.. it was a great success... everyone is all smiles and Jack is sitting nicely.. oh wait that's what we hoped it would be this is what really happened.

We did get this pic of the youngest four.. the M&M's are getting too cool for these pics and playing babies and dress up is way more fun.

The trampoline has been a big hit since we got it and Chloe after spending a year watching everyone else... is joining Jack in the fun.

Jack LOVES all his girl cousins.... and after Chloe he moves right on over to Reese. He loves to invade their space... I mean give them lots of hugs and kisses.

Madison and Mia have a wonderful friendship and play so well together. They even have figured out how to call each other on the phone.. they have 20 minute conversations about nothing..their just like 2 little old ladies. I love this pic of them. On Saturday afternoon we headed to the East Bay to the Little Star Cafe... I highly recommend it if you haven't been. Fun for everyone.. mommies get to eat and drink and kids get to play. It was a big hit.

Lucky No. 7!!

The news has been under wraps since Christmas... but I just got the official ok to do a post. The Fishers will be welcoming #2 to their clan in early August..... this is also #7 in 3.5 years for Grammy and Poppo... must be something in the water...hahaha. Jen and John told Mom and Dad on Christmas Eve by showing them an ultrasound pic and giving them another stocking to add to the fireplace.

We are so excited for them to join the the chaos.. I mean fun of 2 and Chloe is so excited about being a big sister. Jen is feeling good and still wearing her normal clothes... don't get me started!!

Congrats Fishers!!

Callen Porter's Birthday

Callen Porter is the daughter of Andrea Callen who Mark went to high school with and is now my good friend. Madison and Callen both go to The Serra Preschool together and Callen celebrated her 4th birthday at the Tutu school

They made little crowns and then had a little ballet class... seeing all those girls in their tutus was precious. Madison loves her tutu and often wears it now around the house for dress up.

This is Madison with Callen and Rily who was also celebrating a birthday.
