Our family is a wonderful unit that is always changing and growing. Every few years we have something new and exciting to add. We married in 2003, Mary Kate was born in 2005, Anna was born in 2007, and our newest addition Olivia was born in March. So we are blessed with a wonderful family of girls and everyday is new and challenging in someway.
We had a wonderful easter. We called the Easter bunny and he came a day early so we had lots of time to enjoy egg hunting and eating candy! Anna ate most of her with the wrappers still on as she was too excited to wait until we got the wrappers off. Hope everyone had a great Easter!
This is Mary Kate's first year playing soccer - if that is what you call it!! She may not be the best player, but she is a fast runner and looks adorable!
We just returned from vegas and we had a wonderful time. As much as I love my darlings, it was great to get away for a long weekend. We went with lots of people and had a wonderful time. I am not a gambler and I even won. I put $5 in the slots and on the second tap I won $149 and cashed out. We went to the dueling piano bar one night, to Love - beetles show another, downtown, went shopping, went to the Minus 5 ice bar and just had a great time. It was wonderful for Dan and I to be alone again to rekindle and we just really had an amazing time. 4 days was long enough and then we were ready to see our babies again!!
Happy Valentine's day to all. If you didn't get to see our valentine pictures here they are. It all started with Dan and I and could you believe in just 6 years how much our love has grown and changed. Valentine's day is a day that used to not like so much, but as I get older it just is a fun day to have together and reminds of all that I have to love and be thankful for. I wouldn't change and thing in my life....I am a spoiled mama and I love it!!
Mary Kate and all of her friends got to cheer with the Holy Trinity cheerleaders and what fun did they have!! Sara is the cheerleading coach and she did a great job of getting them Cheer shirts, spirit tattoos and so much more.
This week we lost a wonderful grandpa and great-grandpa! Daniel's grandpa Gene passed away at the age of 85. He was always a girky old man. In the last few years we have grown even closer with him as we would always pick him up and take him to Connies or out to eat as he couldn't drive. We will always remember him for calling the girls "boys" and so much more. Mary Kate is at the age where she really didn't understand, but she enjoyed seeing him and holding his hand! I am sure Grandma Connie will really miss him along with everyone else in the Bendlage/Parrott family. We love you Papa Gene!
I am the mother of the two most beautiful little girls and have the most patient husband in the world. We have a wonderful business that supports my hobbies and interests which are shopping and photography!
