We sold my Mustang....

Well, my first "baby" is now officially gone. We sold the Mustang on May 11th. We had it for 12 years, which everyone knows is a record in the Wesley family. The guy we sold it to said that he would take good care of it for me, so that made me feel a little better. I'm just glad someone will be driving it now instead of it sitting in our driveway. Melanie was the most upset because she wanted to drive the horsey car when she got her license. She has since decided that Daddy can get her a pink horsey car, and I can get her an iPod. I let the girls play in the car one last time before we handed over the keys, and I will post the pictures here. We had a lot of good times in the Mustang, that's where Eric and I had our first kiss, lots and lots of road trips to Charleston, Chicago, Savannah, Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Washington D.C., Jekyll Island, Hilton Head, and the list goes on and on, driving back and forth between Athens and Statesboro and then Athens and Alpharetta when I came back home...the Mustang was a big part of our life, and now it's time for it to be a part of someone else's.....I hope the guy who bought it has as much fun with it as we did!

Daddy's Hello Kitty party!!






Daddy's 29th birthday was a success! We got Daddy a "pee pee" balloon from Meredith and a Hello Kitty balloon from Melanie that we brought to his office for lunch, then Melanie and I made Daddy his favorite rum cake. We made a HUGE breakfast for dinner, with eggs, grits, biscuits, bacon, country ham, and hash browns....YUM! I got Daddy a new iPod that Melanie helped pick out songs to put on it before we wrapped it, including Hannah Montana, and Meredith got him the adapter so that he could listen to his iPod in the car. Melanie got Daddy a really cool pirate shirt and a new pair of "Simsums" girl pants. We had a great time with Daddy, and I think he had a really good birthday!

Once Upon a Time......

Melanie has the best memory....sometimes it's good, sometimes....not so good. Tonight in the bath tub she recalled a time when she was taking a shower and she pooped in the shower. This happened at least 2 years ago, before Meredith was even born, and honestly, I forgot about it until she just said something!! Anyway, she came downstairs after her bath, sat down on the fireplace, and began to tell a "good story":

"Once upon a time, there was a girl named Melanie, and before Meredith was even born, she poo pooed in the shower. The end."

So funny. That kid is unreal.

Reading!!

Melanie is officially a reader!! Her 2 favorite stories are "Zac Uh Rat" and "Peg Uh Hen." ("Uh" is what she says for the word "the"). It is so cute to see and hear! I am so proud of her.....she is so grown up!!

Our little ballerina!



Melanie had her first ballet recital this morning, and she was so cute! I think the big crowd in the room gave her a little bit of stage fright, and she really didn't know what to expect, because she didn't really do much of her tap dance, and in her ballet dance, she sort of hid behind the black screen for most of it!! She was so cute and sweet though. Melanie had a big audience....Daddy, Meredith and me, plus Mom Mom, Papa, Bobby, Lulu, Bill, Grandma, Grandpa, and Ms. Kristen, Noah and Bethany came to see her dance! She danced more in her rehersal on Monday than she did today, though, and it was really funny. She kicked herself in the shin with her tap shoe, and while she was dancing she was rubbing her shin going "Ow, ow!" She also almost fell off the stage when she was doing her kicks during the rehearsal. Melanie did such a good job with ballet and tap this year, and we can't wait to start again in the fall!
