Another one....

....of Campbell's teeth came out. The BIG one!! She looks so much older than she did the day before. Amazing how that works! Now the other big one is loose.

Oh well, it looks like the tooth fairy may be making another visit to the Munsey household very soon.

No Tears

Today was Riley's 4 year check up with her Pediatrician. The much dreaded booster shots were due and needless to say, Riley was not thrilled about it at all!!!

She had a great check up with her doctor as always. She is finally in the 50% in height(39 3/4 in.) and 25 % in weight(32 lbs). Then the "S" word came up for discussion and Riley's reaction wasn't as bubbly as it had been in the beginning. She was taking it in stride and I promised her that she would get a treat for every shot she received today to help ease her anxiety.

Apparently, it worked because she actually watched the nurse inject the needles in her thighs and didn't even cry...not even a whimper!! Her only reaction when it was all said and done was, "that hurt".

What a big girl!! I am so proud of her!

New Project

We have been in our house for a little over 5 years now and we finally put up some curtains in our dining room. I'm so excited because it is exactly what I wanted. Thank you Brent for making this possible. : )

Riley's 4th Birthday Party

My little rock star!!


Princess Riley had a Rapunzel Birthday Party.


Make a wish!





Shortly after Christmas, Brent and I took the girls to see the movie Tangled. It was a huge hit with the girls, especially Riley. She just had to have a Rapunzel birthday party after seeing it. My wheels immediately started spinning and getting into party mode. Between the two of us, we had come up with all sorts of party ideas.

• Luminaries in place of the lanterns


• Tower cake


• Rapunzel party favors


• Pink & purple balloons

Well, all of them happened except for the Tower Cake. Unfortunately, I didn't get any before shots of the cake, but it had an unfortunate fall. All the Kings Horsemen and all the Kings Men couldn't put "the cake" back together again. At least I get an "A" for effort....right? I was devastated and I immediately called my sister for help. Her advise was simple....go buy a cake. So, I did and added a few embellishments to it and called it a day.

Sweet Riley didn't mind at all. All she wanted was presents, cake and ice cream. That's exactly what she got! We all had a wonderful time and was extremely entertained the whole night with performances on her new "Rock Show" present. Which includes a microphone and speakers. (videos to follow)

Happy Birthday Riley!!

A Little Behind.....

It's been a while since I have posted on my blog. There's plenty going on around here, but I have not made the time to write about it. So, here's a few pictures to show you what we did over Christmas and New Years.



Dressing up and going to Hotel Roanoke to look at the Festival of Trees.


Christmas party at our church.


Watching tons and tons of football.


Happy New Year!

Snow Day

The Christmas break has officially begun....two days early. Both girls had snow days yesterday and today. Unfortunately, that means both Christmas parties at school have been cancelled too. No sad faces here though! The kids were having so much fun in the snow that they didn't mind at all.


Ida and Campbell sledding in the snow.


Jackson and Riley are all bundled up and ready to go!


Jackson's favorite part was eating the snow! Yummy!

Hard to believe....

...my girls actually got their picture made with Santa Claus. This is the first time they have ever had anything to do with him. They have always been content with looking at him from a distance.

Nana took the girls out to breakfast at Applebee's for a school fundraiser this morning. Jackson stayed home with Brent. As part of the "breakfast" experience, all the kids were able to get their pictures made with Santa. I can't believe I actually have proof!

Maybe we can get a picture of all three of my kids next year.

Merry Christmas!
