Easter 2010

We did Easter at our house this year because my parents were out of town at a wedding. We had Jeremy's mom, dad, and brother Matt, Shanna, Dave, Eva, Mia, Matt and his roomie Taylor, and Sarah. Then mom and dad showed up as a surprise!! They caught an early flight and made it there in time.

What a goober she is!! She loved the bunny cupcakes!

Dave and Mia, and Shanna and Eva.


What a lovely mama and her girls!!

This was the funniest thing!! I put Mia into an Easter basket and she was so CUTE!!


The dads hanging out eating. Matt and Taylor did a great job hiding the Easter eggs. I let Oscar outside when everyone got there and didn't realize that he could break open the eggs and eat the candy!! Oopse!!



I got a migraine headache! Yuck!! But I still love holding my sweet niece.


Eva had so much fun finding eggs!!

She loved the new twirly skirt that Dianna got for her and the bubbles from Grammy.


Sarah and I made these adorable bunny cupcakes!! They were so much fun!!

I am a crappy blogger!

Sorry to all who read this from time to time it has been months since I have updated at all. So here are a few highlights from the past few months. These aren't in any particular order...

We celebrated my birthday at the Aquarium with my family. This creepy shark was stalking us the whole time...YIKES


Grammy and Pop Pop with baby Mia. And Uncle Matt holding Mia.

Eva spent the night with us one night and we went to feed the ducks, she is the cutest! Uncle Jeremy also started to teach her how to climb trees, way to go.


Sarah didn't know it but Mom and Dad bought my car for her and surprised her on her birthday. It was awesome to see the look on her face when she opened the keys!



After she opened her present we all went to dinner at TAG. It is an incredible restaurant!! Sarah works there with Chef Troy Guard. Its been an amazing experience for her.




More pictures of Mia Bella...we are such a proud aunt and uncle. We love our nieces so much!


Celebrating the 100th day of school with my kiddos! Only 4 weeks left until summer.

Our latest news is that we are going to Afghanistan with our church for 10 days in June!! More details about that soon!!

Mia Isabella Franceschini

Grammy and Eva waiting for baby Mia to make her appearance...check out the Franceschini's blog for the whole story!

Here she is! 6 pounds 8 oz 19 3/4 inches. She is just perfect!
I was so glad that Mia was born before I had to go to Parent Teacher Conferences!!

Eva gets to meet Mia for the first time. She was so protective of Mia and just wanted to be close to her the whole time!


Such proud parents, Shanna and David with Mia.



Sarah, me, and Grammy getting to hold Mia.


Eva is so happy to be a big sister. Her daddy took her to get a big sister present and have some quality daddy and me time.




We are soooooo happy to be an auntie and uncle again. Baby Mia Bella is so precious. I am so thankful I got be apart of such special moments with my nieces.

January Parties

Kinsey and Luke had a fantastic birthday party! It was a really fun wine tasting party. It was so good to see lots of college friends and hang out.
The Girls
Melissa, Rachel, Luke, Stacia and Jeremy.



The next day Mom, Sarah and I threw a baby shower for Shanna at Grandmommy's house. I was buried in cupcakes the day before working on the cupcake tower. The first batch totally flopped but the other ones ended up turning out beautifully. Sarah brought over all of her cool decorating tools and did a great job with the decorating. The shower turned out so cute!! We even made Shanna a water breaking throne to sit in! Crazy enough she ended up having a bunch of contractions that night!!



Shanna liked the cupcakes!! We had her friends get into teams and design super fashionable toilet paper diapers and model them, in honor of Shanna's Pretaporte design this last year. It was hilarious! They did a great job!


Me and my sweet Grandmommy...I love this lady!
