Siggie's Birthday Fiesta!

We all gathered at a local watering hole last night to celebrate Siggie's birthday. I'm not going to say how old she is because I want Christmas presents next year, but lets just shy she getting up there. It was a lot of fun. We asked our waiter if they could sing her happy birthday and they rolled out of the kitchen with a flaming apple pie shot! Check it out.

After that she was out of control.

All right I may not get Christmas presents next year. It was a lot of fun anyway.

Happy Birthday Mom!

The Simpson Girls Big Day

Here are the aforementioned pictures from Maddie's violin recital and Anna's preschool graduation. It was a big day for our whole family.

Maddie is a natural. She had the twinkly rhythms down.

Anna and her teacher Ms. Lyles. We really enjoyed having both girls at Wesley for pre-school. It is a great school and the teachers love the kids. We will miss everyone.

The proud graduate!

Mommy's Birthday Weekend

Briar's birthday was Saturday so we made a weekend out of it. Friday was Anna's pre school graduation and Maddie's violin recital (that's a whole different post... stay tuned). After the days events we went to dinner at mommy's favorite restaurant Hiro for some Hibachi. Actually Briar and I are kind of over that but the kids seemed to enjoy watching the guy cook on the table. Briar got a new camera for her birthday and we had a lot of fun taking hundreds of photos of just about everything this weekend. Here are a few of my favorites, of course they are of our beautiful children. What else!

Maddie is growing up so fast.


Life guard on duty.

On Saturday night (Briars Birthday) we cooked some crabs and had a great time pickin and eatin. I was surprised that Maddie and Anna really enjoyed them. We did most of the pickin for her but she tried. Anna just had fun playing girlfriend and boyfriend with two crabs. Jack couldn't hang. Maybe next year buddy.
