Lots 2 Learn in March...

Along with Dr. Seuss and Saint Patrick day activities, Mallory also learned about rainbows in March...

R is for Rainbow...
Yummy, yummy fruit loops!

"Really Mommy, I can paint with my fingers?"...

Now, let's paint with a brush...
Must add some clouds to the pretty rainbow...

Very GOOD!!


This was so fun...we put this paper on a cookie sheet...mommy would call out a number, and Mallory would find it and cover it using these colorful magnets...

Mallory can identify her numbers 1-10 and we are working on 11-20


One day, Mallory got to paint, but she got a little carried away...

Mallory likes doing activities with mommy...her favorites are painting and gluing.
She sometimes gets tired of coloring and writing, she will say, "Mommy, I need a break," or "Mommy, I am tired."

Mallory and Mimi's weekend...

Mallory spent the weekend with Mimi, and she had a WONDERFUL time just like always! When Mimi emailed these 2 pictures, Mommy and Daddy couldn't stop laughing...


It was a cold Saturday, so Mimi bundled up Mallory and took her to watch Disney on Ice...


Mallory said her favorite part was Little Mermaid...


Some other friends Mallory enjoyed seeing...


On Sunday morning, Mallory called to tell us to pick her up late in the day, because she was working on something...
When Mommy went to pick up Mallory, she was so excited to give Mommy 2 little boxes all wrapped up. She had made Mommy a bracelet and necklace (sniff, sniff). It was so sweet!
When Mimi asked her what color beads she wanted to use, Mallory chose pink and purple, her favorite colors...

Mimi said Mallory made the bracelet ALL by herself; all Mimi had to do was tie the ends together. When it was time to make the necklace, Mallory told Mimi she would pick out the beads and Mimi could put them on the string...

Mommy LOVES her bracelet and necklace, but she especially LOVES her Mallory! Thank you Mimi for being such a wonderful grandmother and mother-in-law!!!
We LOVE you!

Mallory's First Medal!

Mallory received her first medal after her last soccer game this morning! We were surprised, because they did not give out medals after her first season. Mallory was super excited about her first medal, and she deserved it! After two seasons, 16 games, she improved so much. She went from crying the first game...to prancing around not touching the ball..to kicking the ball only once or twice a game...to running fast and kicking the ball several times a game!!!

Way to Go #8!!!


At the game...







Good game and great season...

Mommy and Daddy are so proud of our SOCCER STAR!!
