I just haven't had a moment to get on here to post.
Life has a way of happening and lately there has been too much happening to even catch my breath.

But on we go to Hannah who lost her first tooth, started ballet/tap classes and turned 7! She is a busy girl these days.

Mike decided to torture her and a week before her birthday told her we had a special surprise for her. She was out of control asking every waking moment. Since she loves clothing so much (oh the color and pattern combinations!), my mom suggested I take her to the mall for a shopping trip just the two of us and let her pick out what she wants and take her to lunch. Well, it sounded great, but maybe in about 5 years that will be a better idea. She had a cold and only made it until 2pm and she didn't want to try on anymore clothes. But she did enjoy the morning and picked out a neon green outfit that looked like she belonged in 1985, some cute boots, plaid bermuda shorts, lots of shirts and Hannah Montana slippers. It was fun to see what she liked, Gap was her least favorite store (is this MY daughter?). We ended up with lots of new clothes.
a lovely college of green outfit, leggings, new boots and that sweater she loves


We got Panda Express for dinner (her choice) and went to Mom's, who was recovering and couldn't drive. She opened more gifts-a Hello Kitty watch, PJ's, a sweater she won't take off from her Grandma Carol and from my mom a scarf and hat, a new dress from Aunt Laura, a shopping trip to Build a Bear, and some dollhouse people from us (thank you Ebay!).

Kids are so easy.

So without further ado, I will now post a million pictures.


Ballet time-look at those long, skinny legs!

New PJ's yeah

She loves having a watch!


Before we set out shopping.

I can't believe she is 7!
