Hanging around my side of town.

Recently a friend of mine met the girls and I downtown for a nice morning of walking around, stopping at the candy store, getting a glass of iced tea from my favorite coffee joint and ribs from the farmers' market. We probably spent 3-4 hours just chit-chatting, letting the girls play and enjoying the simple things that our quaint little town offers.

We have been trying to enjoy the relaxing summer days, even though we've been pretty busy. Enjoy your special moments :)

She's a graduate!

A year of learning, making new friends, exploring all kinds of cool stuff, and growing taller and stronger...our big girl graduated preschool. And yes folks, I shed some tears. When I put her in the car in the morning to bring her to her last day of school, when I took her to wally-world to pick out her bestie a necklace to remember her by and when she walked past us during her ceremony...tears during all of those events.
I just cannot believe that she'll be in kindergarten next year. I mean really, where did the time go? It seems like just yesterday we were just moving to Chambersburg!
Oh well, she growing up and there isn't much I can do to stop her, so instead, I'll just be uber proud!
My big girl, posing before we left.

A pic with the daddio.and one with the momma (me) :) And the ceremony begins...she would not make eye contact. She was on a mission. A mission to the stage without cracking a smile or moving her eyes away from her goal!Opening "hello's", she listening and her little friend A-man is smirking. Hehe...too cute!OH! Do you see that, we made eye contact. Still no smile. She cracks me up!Saying the pledge, and how appropriate that it's Memorial Day weekend and their ceremony was "Red, White & Blue" themed. I know I'm biased, she is my off-spring and all, but she sure looks adorable in her floppy graduation hat and double wrapped necklaces. Girls got style!Just singing. I'm pretty sure my eyelashes where stuck to my eyelid, from being wet and smashed up against the camera. I teared up through this WHOLE program. I'm a sap!Big wee one and her friend A-man. They are going to get married. I knew she had a little crush on him all year, though she never fully admitted it, she would get really angry if we asked her about it (guilty as charged!). We found out the truth though, A-man told his mom he was going to marry Big wee one....hehehe, he's a cutie! She does want to have a play-date this summer, so I'm sure this won't be the last that we see of first crush (oiy! already?!).This ABC chant/song was really cute! They are all gearing up for, "GIMME-A""C-We're CREATIVE"Did I mention that the little cutie right behind Big wee one in the red shirt is her bestie? They have on matching "best friend" necklaces that we had to get on the way to school. Every school day they brought each other a little gift (a barbie outfit from their stash, a little tiny hairbrush, a little stone or gem from a broken ring, a ribbon...anything they thought the other might like) and exchanged them. That was one of her highlights from the day, to show me what her best friend brought her that day.The official graduation moment. Big wee one really enjoyed Mrs. W and being in her class. Not a true smile, but she is looking my way :)We are so proud of you Big wee one! You've learned SO MUCH! Counting by 5's, reading, writing, and you are so creative. You exploded this year with knowledge and willingness to learn. We have loved watching you become this indepent and smart big sister. Thank you for being you, we LOVE YOU!

*yes, I know there aren't any pics of Little wee one in this post, or the last few for that matter, that child will.not.let.me.take.her.picture. I will do my best to get one of her and share it soon!*

Friends

through thick and thin.

As different as we all are, we are there for each other through thick and thin. Funny and not so. Tears and laughter. We all bring something diffferent to the table and without them, life just wouldn't be fun.

We took a long weekend trip to the beach and had the most fun any of us had had in a long time. So much fun was had in a such a short amount of time!

Highlights include, but are not limited to:

  • "Tits in Rome" (as in cotton candy sweet-a go, lettme see your "tits in rome" or as most of us know it, your "tootsy roll")

  • how are you going to drive with your left foot?

  • Ms. Monwhine's broken foot...ouch! The dance floor is killa!

  • Neanderthal lady

  • the Purple Parrot

  • sleeping in a bunk bed with Nikki

  • Heather is freaking stunning, not just at the beach but ALWAYS! (don't you forget it Heather!)

  • Jesus walking the beach, except he had red hair

  • so many more.......

  • can't wait until we do it again.

Thanks for being my bestest girls!

Chill-laxin Mother's Day

So Mother's Day came and went...I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did. This was the first weekend in a LONG time that I didn't feel bad for not doing AN-E-THING, and not having to hear about it...yes, sometimes our relationship is a little backwards. I clean and keep a decent house, but Paul is more of a "do it now, get it done" kind of guy and I am a "I just want to sit for one second after cleaning up pee for the 5th time in the last hour" kind of person :) But we work.
Two weekends ago we had our MOMs club brunch for Mother's day and it was a ton of fun. Always is; and I'm sure it always will be. I found out my secret sister was one of my besties and I was the second to the last person to go so I was totally stumped. I had no clue it was her and because I got up to go to the bathroom I missed the name of the person who went before me (we do a little guessing game to see if we can guess who our secret sister is), who happened to be the person I thought had me. Anyway, long story short, I was totally shocked and absolutey thrilled and very happy...she gave me a ton of great gifts, including skunk beer from 2007. Awesome!
Here's the group of ladies, not all of us, but a good group of us.
Ok, much better, but I still can't get that blue to go away...
So, remember awhile back I took the girls to get their pictures taken?? Here's a sneak peek at Little wee one...she wouldn't smile at all. The photographer came up to me while picking out pictures and specifically pointed this one out, "Look how sweet she is! She's kissing the bear."
I say to Little wee one (who's sitting on my lap), "Are you kissing that teddy bear?"
LWO: "Nooooooo...I cry'in"
I'm not really crazy about the softening/blur of the picture, but it's still kind of sweet. So, I only bought this one picture proof... I had to post this next random picture because it makes me laugh out loud...a lot. Every time I see it it makes me giggle. She looks hilarious!
On Mother's Day, I came outside and found the girls coloring over and over in the same place with chalk and then rubbing their hands over it, covering their hands and other body parts in chalk. Here is the, "Hey girls...look at Mommy" picture. No kidding, Big wee one really did make this face, like she got caught.And then the, "Stand up and show me your hands!" picture.
I finish this randomness with pictures that BWO had drawn. She's such a creative little gal and I love looking at her pictures, they make me smile. The one below is BWO as a girl scout, and then LWO and their baby brother (SORRY! No news to share, just a little girl with big dreams) ;-) Next comes a duck.
We finish as BWO as a girl scout (all of her pictures lately, the girl that has long hair always has it to one side...hehe...like a side ponytail, which seems to be the "in" thing, which I've noticed among teenage girls at lax games. I'm guessing she noticed as well). Back to picture, girl scout who plays the drums, sleeps in a tent and also plays the xyliphone (I'm sure that's spelled wrong).Life is slowing down in the Flohr house which makes me soooo happy. We've been spending all of our afternoons (that include sun) outside basking in the little warmth that we've had. I hope you all are enjoying nice spring like temps as well (or whatever season you are in) :)

I stopped by and met him today!!
He's beautiful and when I walked in, his very proud big sister was holding him! I didn't want to take him from her, so I waited until she asked me if I wanted to hold him...and boy did I! He's so sweet and cuddly...want to see??

Take a look...

I love how she's watching in the background...tehe...protective big sister!

Photo shoot

A good friend of mine and I got together tonight to get some pregnancy pictures before the next little Meyers joins the crew. I took 195 amazing pictures...pretty easy with such gorgeous subjects :-) Thank you so much for asking me Annisa...I was completely flattered and I hope you like them (of course there are a LOT more), these are just some of my favorites :)
Yes, her eyes are that blue...crazy blue. Her daughters' eyes are crazy blue too...lucky ducks.


I really liked this one...it looks awesome in black & white as well.
Doesn't she look fabulous!? Pretty awesome for thinking she was going into labor at Wal-Mart this morning...lol.
Her sweet little girls...
This little stinker is too freaking cute!
Couldn't you eat her up?? She's cute in black & white too.


Miss Thang here rivals Big wee one on true princess-esque
She's also got some stunning blues...almost clear blue.
Thanks again Annisa and I promise to bring your bassinett over and burn these on a CD for ya :)
You Rock!
