Disney Princesses on Ice 2011

So excited she can barely contain herself!  Liv almost didn't make it this year - she had strep throat on Thursday and spent the entire night vomiting and running a high fever.  The only thing she cared about, though, was whether she could still go to Disney Princesses on Ice - thank goodness for amoxicillin!

Last year it was a Cinderella toy, this year it is Flounder.  She wanted nothing 

to do with princesses - I couldn't even get her to wear one of her princess outfits!

What a difference a year makes - compare this picture to the next picture!

This picture was from Disney Princesses on Ice in 

2010 - Liv has grown up so much!

In awe over Mickey and Minnie Mouse!

Liv couldn't quit taking pictures!

Be Our Guest...

Under the Sea...

Aunt Holly had her hands full!

Check out the abs on King Triton - a little disturbing...but I was excited because 

we were close enough to even see those abs - last year we were much further away!

The cousin choke hold (i.e. hug)!

Two goofy girls...

Again, compared to this picture from 2010, I am totally 

blown away by what a difference a year makes!

The Grand Finale!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

It isn't St. Patrick's Day without St. Paddy's Day cookies, right?

Grandpa's Birthday Weekend

Go Big Blue - SEC Champs!

Ferocious!

Practicing the drum roll for Grandpa's "surprise" birthday party!

Her Grandpa was so proud of her form!

Lilly was just having fun hitting things with the wooden spoon!

Helping Uncle Matthew fix the trailer!

The Straw Boss...

Poor Uncle Matthew didn't stand a chance!

Happy Birthday Grandpa!

Lilly and Aunt Shell

Asher's New Haircut

Enjoying the first spring day!

Cooper found a different way to get into the house :)

Can't wait for spring!

Newport Aquarium

Our official tour guide who insisted on reading the map to tell us where to go first!

This octopus was one of my favorites - so cool.  Although I would be terrified

 if I met one of these in real life.

"Finding Nemo."  Didn't find Nemo, but we did find Dory 

according to Olivia.  Gotta love Pixar films!

Love this pic of us!

Also a fan of turtles...

Not so much of catfish, but this sucker was huge!

Liv would fit right into an alligator's belly - she would barely look at them 

because they are "dangerous."  Smart girl.

Climbing on the frogs - Lilly loved this because of the sounds they made!

Isn't she sweet!

Another favorite of mine - the jellyfish.  They are so beautiful!

This stingray really creeped me out.  He looks so human in this picture!  

Again, not another one I would want to encounter in real life!

The photographer finally makes it in a picture!

Liv loved measuring up to the sharks!

My girls :)

Grammie's girls :)

A great family photo!
