Pretty Princess.....and Coco Chanel!!

Mary was invited to a "Fancy Nancy" birthday party! She needed to dress up fancy. At the Pary she had her nails, hair and makeup done! She had a wonderful time at the party! Thank you Becki & Emily!

Mary prepared for this party the night before. Noelle helped her pick out her dress and "fancied" her up!

Mary woke up excited for the party today!! Noelle came down the stairs and Mary said "Good Morning Coco Chanel"!

Looks like Noelle had a new alias!! By the way.....Noelle wants a Chanel Purse or Bracelet. Rats.......I thought we got the CHANEL out of her system at Christmas when Santa brought her CHANEL nail polish! Oh....well......the girl does have great taste!!! ;)

OHHH...NOOO....NOT AGAIN...!!!!

Well, once again we have had yet another minor glitch!

Over the past several months, we have been noticing an increase in our water bill....we do have 2 teenagers in the house (who take LONG showers) so we chalked it up to that. Well, Tuesday we got a WHOPPER of a water bill. The water company came out and determined that we had a leak from the main supply to the house...AKA...we are responsible for the $$$$ to fix the leak. Long story short..... We had a BIG leak outside near our foundation that was beginning to seep into our unfinished part of our basement(thank goodness) where the main water line entered our home. If we would have put if off much longer we would have had a BIG mess in our basement!

The plumbers came yesterday and found the leak!! It was at the connection that was made for our irrigation system.....so now we have no leak but also no irrigation system hook up!! Hopefully, we will have a solution soon!!

I am just so thankful that our basement was spared!! We have sure had our share of "little" glitches that end up being a constant head ache! However, we are thankful for our health and continue to thank God for all that he has blessed us with!!

Over and out from Lexington.......have a happy,safe and wonderful weekend everyone!!!

Happy Birthday Grammy!

This past weekend was a lot of fun! Mom and Dad came down to visit us! We love it when they come and stay for the weekend! We don't get many visitors and the weekends are pretty quiet and boring so we had a great weekend.(We love visitors.....come and stay at the Fedele - B&B)

Saturday, Grandpa got up and got donuts for everyone. The kids love getting donuts!!YUMMY! We watched the UK basketball game.....CATS won!!YIPPEE!!!! After the game Mom, Noelle and I went to Old Kentucky Chocolates to get some chocolate covered Strawberries and some chocolate grapes!!! I know the grapes sound crazy...but they are phenomenal!! Then we went to the mall to do a little shopping. Then it was off the our Valentine dinner at BAJIO!! All 8 of us !! It was a great day!

Sunday we went for a scenic drive! We drove out to Versailles KY and to Woodford Reserve..... it was closed so we will have to tour it next time! We also went to Midway KY. Wow...do we live in a Gorgeous part of the country!! The horse farms, rolling hills and beautiful bluegrass countryside is breathtaking!!

Thanks mom and dad!! We had a great weekend and we love you both very much! We love it when you come and visit!! How about moving to KY?????

Our Kentucky Derby Girl!!

Mary went shopping today.....and was searching for her

2009Kentucky Derby Hat!

She did not find what she was looking for so we are returing to Macy's next week when the rest of the Derby Hats arrive.
ohhh......can't wait to see what she tries on next!

Sunny Sunday...and Monday!!

Whew!! We are thrilled to have had such wonderful weather the past couple of days!! It has been in the mid to upper 60's. WOW...what a change from a week or even a few days ago!! It was COLD, we are talking low in the single digits cold!

So Sunday Noelle, Ethan and Lauren all went to play or as we now say"hang out" with their friends and Mary was left home alone with Chris and I . She was so bored and sad. We cheered her up with a little walk around the neighborhood and a little nature walk near our backyard (across the street and about a hop, skip and jump)! Look what we found!!
