Disneyworld

I put together this collage quite some time ago and couldn't get it loaded onto the blog. Finally, it's here. Disneyworld was great fun! Thanks for the fun trip, Riley and Garrett. Oh, and mom and dad, too.

I saw this on a friend's blog and thought it was funny. I decided to check it out. What you do is go to Google and type in "{Your Name} needs" and see what pops up. Here are the first 10 that came up:

  1. Anne needs to win sexiest veg! (not quite sure what this means, but okay...)
  2. Anne needs no man (true. but one wouldn't hurt)
  3. Anne needs a spanking (ummmm...)
  4. Anne needs a Jobby Job (i actually have too many at the moment but maybe soon)
  5. Anne needs your support (always - who wants to help pack?!)
  6. Anne needs to retire (this could be nice)
  7. Anne needs a group of at least six people (not sure what for)
  8. Anne needs no man (is someone trying to tell me something?)
  9. Anne needs to humble herself (probably true again :P)
  10. Anne needs no enhancement (although i like this better than #9)

Check out my friend's blog to see what it was like out here last Monday morning... http://tsimpsonphotography.blogspot.com/2009/03/it-just-gets-better.html



And this weekend, I took Abby out on a walk for about an hour in the beautiful 80 degree weather.



Got to love Virginia!

Saturday Fun




Marnee had a wedding and Mike and Dad were working. So lucky me! I got to spend the day with three great kids. We climbed trees, made and painted trains, made cookies, went on a bike ride, played games and had lots of fun and didn't get a bit of work done except for sweeping up the back yard and putting away the train track (with a lot of help from the boys!) Kate took a nice nap and as cute as she looked when she arrived at our house, this picture just doesn't do justice to her. I'm afraid this is a case of very serious bed head. Riley, I think you might have some serious competition from Kate in the wild hair department!. Should have taken a before and after nap picture.

Zoo Fun

Tuesday's trip to the zoo with Marnee and the kids was a fun one. It was a beautiful day--well maybe a little on the hot side in the sun, but the kids and monkeys didn't seem to mind. Kate loved the petting zoo. This goat was her favorite, she even followed it as it tried to get away from her while trying to push her out of the way with its head. Since this didn't discourage Kate, we thought it best to move her on to another goat, before this one got really upset.

Lion King

At the end of January, we took Parker and Ryan to Gammage to see The Lion King. The play wasn't really very good, but we had a great time anyway. I think the boys really enjoyed their time with Nema and Hepa without their parents. They were on their very best behavior. During intermission; however, we got up to walk around and Ryan had a minor melt down. He did not want to leave. As soon as we explained that we were just going to go see the stage and where the band was and that we were not leaving to go home, he was fine--as if nothing had every happened. After the play we went to Sugar Bowl for ice cream sundaes. Wow! This place is big! It's okay Ryan. This is going to be fun.
This looks great!But how am I supposed to eat it?
Just dig in Ryan - watch me!
