Aiden had a speaking part in his 2nd grade play tonight! He was "Aimless" the lamb and he got to talk to Bo Peep! He did a WONDERFUL job speaking and knew the songs to a T!! It was really fun watching him as he puts his all into his "performances" - with facial expression and everything! Way to go, Aiden WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU!!

Yep, mom had to make his costume and since I don't sew, this is what we came up with...COTTON BALLS!!

Hmmm....what a darling little lamb! Hiding...

Here he is at the microphone!

LOVE the facial expressions!

After the show with his 2nd grade buddies, Ty and Benny!

Can't wait to see what he comes up with in the future!!

St. Patty's Day!

March 17th, 2011

It's St. Patty's Day! YAY!! Today we got up a little early to get dressed and take the dreaded pictures mom INSISTS we take!

Here we have Mr. Parker....such a cute Lad! I've been making him pose in green for me for MANY years, and he continues to do it witout complaint! What a trooper...and a good-hearted boy!

Mr. Aiden, a true stinker-ish leprechaun through and through! He's lucky he's so cute and his heart is so big....you'll never meet a bigger love-bug than him! And he's SO LOYAL! Such a proud Irish lass!! Who can resist that happy face!?

Ahhh...it does my heart good to look at these three sweeties in their Irish attire! They were all such good sports about it!

Since we were hosting a dinner, I thought it only appropriate to purchase a few decorations!!

Even Great-Grandma and Grandpa Cottrell were in the mood to celebrate!

Here we have our Lamb and Potato Stew, Corned Beef and Cabbage, Corn and not pictured was the AMAZING Guiness Chocolate Cake with Irish Whisky Carmel Topping!! YUMMY!!

The kids with Grandma Pam and Grandpa Emmett! We always love having them stop over!

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!!
