Rory's Class Cupcake Party :)

Rory's best buddy Zane in the red hat! These two are two peas in a pod. Just the other day I picked Rory up from school and they were both huddled around the CD player pushing all the buttons and opening and closing the CD changer. And when I snuck up behind them and said "Rory?" They both looked at my with a deer in the  headlights look. :)

That little party must of worn her out...because she fell asleep in the car on the way home and that NEVER happens. :)

I left my camera with Ms. Lois and Ms. Nancy and they took pictures for me! Love them!

Happy 3rd Birthday to our Sweet Rory Grace!

Yummy!!

"Balloons for me?"

Story of Rylee's life: Sister always trying to shove the pacifier in...even if she is happy as a clam and doesn't want it. :)

We can't believe it has been 3 years since this little blessing entered our lives. She has changed our lives so much. And everyday we are so thankful God chose us to be this beautiful little firecracker's mommy and daddy. Last night I kept holding her and squeezing her saying.."it's her last day as a two year old.." tear! She of course was ready to get out of my arms and on to the next thing...but our little baby is growing up so fast. Rory celebrated this morning by going to her favorite place on earth (the golf course) and then we had a family birthday breakfast at Dunkin Donuts! Tommorow she celebrates at school with Cupcakes and Saturday her birthday at Jump For Fun! We love you so much Rory Gace Hammerlun! Happy Birthday!

Valentine's Day/WEEK

Rylee is getting so big!! She loves playing with toys! :)

We went to a Mother/Daughter MOPS Valentine Party at a friend's house on Wednesday night! Daddy stayed home with Rylee so Rory and I could have a "date" night! :)

She loved arts and crafts with the big girls!

And they loved helping her! :) So sweet!

Her Friend Oliver was there too! :)

Rory and I made a Valentine cake for Daddy! Yes I let my child make the biggest mess possible. It's a learning experience right? The recipe only called for egg whites so of course Rory played with the egg yolks. :)

Maddie and Amanda came over Saturday for a "valentine" play date! Eating raw cookie dough is part of the fun right?

Maddie practicing her "big sister" skills with Rylee! :)

Arts and Crafts!

More COOKIE TIME!!

Cutest picture ever! Greg got home and made the girls popcorn in the "old school" popper! This is them watching it POP POP!

Flowers For Rory from Daddy on Valentine's! (she may of hit her sister with the bush and tried to paint the walls with them)

Flowers for Mommy from Daddy! BEAUTIFUL! So lucky to have such a sweet VALENTINE!

Babysitter Search after YESTERDAY!

Well here is how our day went and Greg and I have decided we need to find a babysitter. (that's right only family/JJ have watched Rory since she was born) Here was our timeline yesterday.

5:30am- Rylee and Mommy Leave our house to go to Lauren's house (30 minutes away)

6am-Daddy and Rory leave our house and Daddy drop's Rory off at Lauren's house

7:45am-Mommy, Rory, Rylee, and Lauren drive to Argyle to drop Lauren off at School and then drive home

9:30am- Daddy leaves work drives home to get Rylee and then drives back to work with Rylee

9:30am- Mommy and Rory go to the Casa Manana in Fort Worth play to see Rapunzel. Rory freaks out because of the dragon and we leave shortly after

10:00am- Mommy and Rory drive to the golf course to pick up Rylee (45 minutes away from the theatre) and drive home

12:30pm- Daddy drives back home to watch the girls while mommy goes to the dentist. Mommy has had a horrible toothache for 4 days ( NO FUN!) Mommy finds out she has a soft tissue gum infection and has to have two wisdom teeth removed ASAP.

1:30pm- Mommy comes home and Daddy goes back to work. Mommy, Rylee, and Rory drive to Argle (40 minutes) to pick up Lauren early from school (but she was still on a field trip so we had to wait in front of the school for 30 minutes till she was back)  and then drive to Colleyville to drop Lauren off at Gymnastics.

*Side note- Rory did play with Cooper (Jason Whitten's son)  while we were waiting for Lauren. Pretty Cool! Jason Witten also witnessed me panicking and yelling "RORY GRACE HAMMERLUN!" As she tried to jump in a school maintenance golf cart and drive it away (no joke!) Greg had to have a long talk with her about only driving golf carts at the golf course when Daddy is around.

4pm- Mommy, Daddy, Rory, and Rylee both arrive back at home all in one piece. MOMMY opens a bottle of miller lite and we all go to bed at 6:30pm. (NO JOKE!)


*We did find a girl from church to watch the girls but she also works at Victoria Secret and has the "retail" schedule. Needless to say I will be stalking the high school girls on Sunday at church for another. :)


We do laugh throughout the day at how crazy our life has become and wouldn't trade it for anything. Another "cute" story. Just before Greg got home..I was changing Rylee's diaper and I came into the kitchen to find Rory standing on Rylee's bouncer eating fistful's of Valentine cake from the day before. Icing all over her face etc. I moved the cake on top of the refrigerator. Greg said later that day when he was on "duty" he walked around the corner and found her standing on the bouncer frantically looking all over for the cake. He said "Rory..." she said, "Daddy! Where did the cake go?" She is a sneaky little one. :)

Happy Valentine's Day! :)

Three Little Cuties ready for Valentine's!

Happy Valentine's Day! Greg and I will celebrate with a yummy chicken taco crockpot meal and a bottle of Cupcake Merlot! :)
