First Birthday Fun

March 24, 2008 was William James Maurice's first Birthday.

We celebrated at home with his aunt Jackie and ice cream and with Aunt Chrissy & Uncle Jon. Then that weekend we planned a big party at the park. However, Mother Nature was not cooperative and we moved the party to the ultimate party place...The Graduate. Another Mello child has their first birthday at the bar. It reminds me of the movie Sweet Home Alabama, when Rese Witherspoon's character is in the bar and she runs into an old high school friend and she says, "you have a baby?....in the bar!" Other than that, it was a great day. As you can see from the pictures Will had a great time. Please visit our kodakgallery.com to see all the pictures.

Cute Pics

Here are some new pictures of the littlest Mello crazies. They are too cute and TOO FUNNY!

This is Will's early Bday present from Gramma Ginger and Papa Steve. We couldn't keep him out of Evie's chair so we thought for his safety we should get one just for him. Now Evie sits in his chair and he get to sit in hers.

Little Flirt is what I like to call him. He has amazing powers with the ladies (except his sister)
Who's this big girl you ask? Why that is the 3 year old Evie-Bug.
This picture is for Papa Jim. Watch out Papa she's got a mean swing and lots of energy. She should be on the course in no time.

Mission Accomplished Part II

Evie-bug did it!!!! She decided to quit wearing diapers. We told her that if she wanted to go to school she needed to be pottied trained. So, that week she was done. That's right one week. After all the stickers, cheers, and other tricks, going to school was the factor that worked. "It's" just like "they" say, "when a child is ready to stop using diapers, they will." I'll remember that when it comes to potty training Will.


Mr. Funny Face, with his bubble beard.

Mommy and Will....from Evie's point of view....not bad for a three year old.

I think that Will likes eating more if he can make a mess!

Happy 3rd Birthday Evie-Bug.

The princess party was a success. We had an extra treat when Daddy and Tommy brought snow. They brought a truck load of snow and built a small sled hill in the driveway. The kids LOVED it. We have so many princess presents that even Daddy knows who is who. This week I have to call Evie, Princess Genevieve- Snow White. I am Sleeping Beauty- Mommy. Will is Ariel and Daddy is Shrek and sometimes he's "the king" (depends on her mood). The last picture is Evie showing her muscles in her new swim suit/ floatation devise. Thank you to everybody for the wonderful gifts and for remembering Evie.
