<span style="font-size: large;">yammy and papa had a little 4th of july party at their place this year</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">this may be one of my most favorite pictures.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">the littles have such a special bond with their papa</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">this picture captures that special bond so well</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">we were able to pick up some sparklers while in PA</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">the littles thought they were so cool</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">well they only thought that after the initial fear of a stick on fire subsided :)</span><br />

<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">we finished another year of school</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">my girls are officially 3rd graders!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">it was a tough year this year</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">in February we decided to transfer sophie to my school </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">it was a tough decision but we knew we had to do what was best for sophie</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">she was really struggling in math and very little was being done to help her</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">i just couldn't sit back any longer and watch my daughter get more and more frustrated</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">well she adjusted like a champ and both girls finished out the year with smiles on their faces</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">last day</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">~you're all boy and love all those boy things little boys love</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">~you will randomly tell momma and daddy that you love us</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">~you are so rough which is sometimes annoying but i guess that's part of having a boy</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">~still love your blankies (yes you have 2 now...after we couldn't find your first one momma bought you a new one <strike>for a ridiculous price</strike> on ebay...only to find your old one several weeks later in your suitcase)</span><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">i know i am like 15 years behind in my blogging </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">it is so hard to start again once you fall behind</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">but i am determined to try</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">i love to look back at my blog and look at the pics and reminisce of all the fun and not so fun times my little family has had.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">so i will start with easter. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">then i will try and catch up to the present and then go back and fill in the gaps</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">we shall see :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">after the Christmas fiasco of getting up at 1:30 am to start the festivities i decided to set the alarm on ella's ipod so that the littles knew when to get up</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">it worked!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">at 6:01 we heard little footsteps pitter patter into our room shouting happy Easter</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">it was cute.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">our Easter festivities started the day earlier with coloring some eggs</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
