Robbie is the Master

...of Health Administration! That's right...he graduated! Hooray! His graduation was on Friday and it was so great. McKinley would randomly point down at Robbie in the crowd, wave and say "hi daddy" all through the graduation. When they called his name and he was walking across the floor to be hooded by his professors she kept yelling over and over and over "That's my daddy!", pointing and smiling and making sure everyone in ear shot knew who he was. I'm not sure who was more proud, her or me!

McKinley and I are really proud of Robbie, it's a big accomplishment to be done with his Master's Degree and we're really excited. McKinley had become really good at saying "my daddy at school", so it will be nice to have him home more.

After graduation we went out to dinner at Olive Garden, the wait was crazy since we had a party of 15, but the food was delicious and they gave us four appetizers for free, so Robbie was loving it.

Thanks to everyone who came and celebrated and thanks for the congratulations of those who couldn't be there. It was a great day!

Easter

Easter was a lot of fun at our house. We dyed eggs the day before and McKinley had a great time. It was funny to watch her throw the eggs into the cup of dye instead of place them nicely, good thing we were prepared with covering over the table. The Easter bunny came and hid the eggs and McKinley did a really good job of finding them. We went to another Easter Egg Hunt later that day at Grandma's house. I think McKinley still wishes there were Easter Egg Hunts every day!

Here she is in her Easter Dress with her basket from Nana and Papa. She loves that basket and we still have it out to play with now!

First Real Easter Egg Hunt

I call it the first real Easter Egg Hunt, because last year we hid some eggs in the living room for McKinley and although she found them, this year she was much more excited. McKinley was invited to her first Easter Egg hunt early this month. Cooper had McKinley and Ruby over to play with toys, eat lunch and find eggs! Lunch was pizza, so McKinley loved it. Here is a picture of the little crew before lunch, this is where I discovered that it is ridiculous to expect three toddlers to look at the camera at the same time:

The hunt is on. McKinley was so excited when she saw the eggs, she started running to get them. She also found bubble and a chalk egg:

Thanks Cooper for having us over, it was a blast!

I'm Done Pouting.....

About all the stuff I lost from my hard drive and I'm ready to sit in front of the computer again. So, here is my first post in quite a while. Robbie and I bought McKinley some sunglasses for Valentine's Day. She has loved them ever since. In fact, once they're on she doesn't really want them to be taken off!

About two weeks ago Robbie made this comment and then asked me to blog about it, so Robbie this one is for you! Here is a picture of cute little McKinley in her awesome sunglasses:

And here is a picture of Sid the Science Kid's grandmother, who Robbie has decided she looks exactly like when she's wearing her sunglasses! :) Sorry McKinley, Daddy made me post it!
