It has been a few weeks since my last post.

I am not sure why us blogger sometimes just stop writing? Or don't know what to say?! But then I start typing and I have 1000 things to say?!

Last week was Scott's Birthday and we also celebrated Silvia's.
Alexa made the cake and decorated it and found 41 candles as Scott is 38 and Silvia would have been 3.
We went to A Twins game and taught Andrea all about tailgating.Scott has taken Alexa a bunch of times, so she is an pro) We grilled out burgers and hot dogs with chips, beans and fruit. Alexa and Scott played catch in the parking lot. This was one of the Best games we have been to in a LONG time, as we were behind 5 and they hit a Grand slam with bases loaded and we ended up winning by 2! WE went to go see T.C. bear and Andrea screamed SO Loud, the ushers came running. It was pretty hilarious. We got home at 11:30 and we had not yet released the balloon for Silvia to heaven, as it was her Birthday, so we were outside singing Happy Birthday at 11:30 pm.. I hope You neighbors reading this didn't wake up! LOL! Alexa said Mom, Why is Heaven so far and we can not see it? AS I want to have Silvia here to play with and Andrea too.. After she said that , I had to run inside and wipe my eyes.....
It is such a bittersweet thing, as we have sweet little Andrea, but we would not have sweet Andrea, if Silvia would have not passed and we would be loving Silvia up, as we do Andrea. I so Wish he could have Both little girls...
I am posting new photos of Andrea in her Dress she picked out at Gymboree. I posted them already on Facebook. We tried her dress on and she said "Mommy take pictures".. Can't you tel us bloggers and scrapbookers, always have cameras?! So I did-- They are SO darn CUTE! She is a little ham for photos!
Alexa has a birthday party at the roller rink on Saturday. It is at the roller rink where I grew up in Maplewood, and I used to go there every weekend. It was Cool! If it is not raining, I will bring her to my favorite park that has the Coolest slide!
I have to start packing for my weekend scrapbook retreat as I leave on the 30th ( 6 days)))!! and come home on the 3rd. I can't wait! It is at a place near Rochester. To be with friends, and some alcohol and NO kids!
This summer is getting SO busy.. Either I am gone or Scott is gone It is crazy!! Alexa's softball starts tonight and hoping the rain holds out until later... Which looking outside--Looks like Rain/storms
Today,we met with Alexa's speech teacher as we had her tested again, as she went through speech in pre school and she is still having not saying the S and z sounds right, and they said on their IEP(Cathie are you proud of me?) that she was a candidate for speech. Alexa told me she did not want to go, as she did not want to be with the special Ed kids, as she said she is smart(which she is very smart). Scott and I said it is not really Special Ed and it will be good for her, as she has been saying it wrong her whole life of speaking and it is kind of like teaching an old dog new tricks .
Can You believe it is Almost May?!
Well off for now...I a going to hook the trailer on to my bike and take Andrea for a bike ride and she can nap..Oh I wish she could out me in the trailer and I could nap..

Alexa is so adorable in those puctures!!! i could just squeeze those cheeks!!!

You are fortunate that she qualifies for speech! I just had Peter assessed by our school district and they said he doesn't qualify! He only says 4 recognizable words and is not physically capable of saying any other sounds but "ba" and "da"!! They told me to check back in the fall!

Hope you enjoyed the awesome weather this week...sounds like rain and cooler temps are on the way!!

LOVE the pictures. She's so adorable. I read your blog and it always makes me miss being in the Cities :-( I have to live there through you now!!!

I wasn't in the blog world so didn't know about Silvia's passing but please know how sorry I am. It just tears me to hear of a death of a child.

I haven't gotten into the scrapbooking yet but keep throwing everything into a large container so will be anxious to hear of your experience!!!!

Hugs, Rhonda
