Welcome Charles Gordon Ranek...

Auntie Angie gets her baby fix, lovin' on Charlie! Too precious!

weighing in at 7lbs 2oz
and 21 inches long

Love the baby!

Congratulations Gordie and Amber! We couldn't be more excited for your family. We look forward to watching Fallyn introduce her little brother to this group of girls. She is such a good girl and will be a wonderful big sister. Charlie, don't worry little man, we won't let them dress you up in tutus or tiaras... too often. You have been born to wonderful parents and have so many people who love you. Someday, you will have an entire cheering section rooting you on at your state championship baseball game... batter up! It's a whole new ball game!

Warm Weather Fun...

This kid might be part fish. We caked on the SPF and played outside all day Saturday. It was definitely a "Ferris Bueller" kind of day!

Silly Saturday Morning...

Little girl is just too much fun. She simply amazes and entertains us each day. We couldn't help, but share her latest antics with all of you. She is into dressing up... loves her tutu. Sometimes she decides that she is a ballerina, sometimes a bunny rabbit or flower and even a dinosaur... mind you a dinosaur in a pink tutu. This morning she threw her sea turtle on the ground and started surfing on its back... I tell you folks, I don't know where she gets it from???

Angie x Tim

Angie & Allie "prepare" for the concert.

Cathy and Steve Kirk opened their home for all of us to visit, eat and drink before the concert.

Bella Raye doing to the Boot-Scootin'-Boogie

That's right, my boyfriend Tim McGraw serenaded me last night... there just happened to be thousands of other people there too! He's not scared to show his emotions for me in front of others. It was a great concert!

PS - He also has the cutest tooshie!!! Not many men can pull off tight jeans, wife beater and hoodie and still be SMOKIN' HOT!

Hello, Anyone Out There???

Several freinds and members of my family have commented that they do not have a GOGGLE account and can't leave messages on the blog. I have changed my settings... Mandy, I expect a message, every time you log-on to your computer!

Proofs Are Ready...

Hey Angie! Your gallery is up and ready for you to view.

To view your proofs, follow these steps...

1. go to www.kathymccloy.com
2. click on "enter site"
3. click on "proofs"
4. enter your password all lowercase... rock (I thought that was appropriate in honor of Addie!)

A Couple of Side Notes:
1. Addie wanted NOTHING to do with the photo shoot Sunday morning. All she was interested in were all the rocks in the parking lot. If you look closely, you will see them in her hands in several shots. As you can see from her individual shots, Kathy knows how to work with kids! I absolutely LOVE the pictures of Addie.
2. There are 26 photos in our gallery. Here are our top picks: 9286e (#1), 9287e (#2), 9375e (#11), 9409e(#14) and 9476e (#19). Let us know which ones you like.
3. Kathy, thank you so much! You are always such a joy to see. You've been making me smile since the 7th grade!

Bathing Beauty...

Well the pink ball found it's way to the bath tub this evening!
But, how can you say "No" to a face like this???

Follow the Bouncing Ball... Boing, Boing, Boing

Good times all over the back yard...
Including in Mommy's wild flower garden!
Hello Miss Butterfly
And a good day to you Mr. Dragonfly

Bubbles Galore!

Step 1: Stir your wand in the bubbles

Step 2: Blow into the bubble wand

Baby Blockade...

Grampy, why'd ya have to go and build this gosh darn fence...
All I want is to be by the lake with this guy!

Thanks Nana and Grampy for a great time! We enjoyed seeing everyone and were glad that we got to celebrate Mother's Day, even if it was a little late. Sending lots of XOXO from Fishers!!!

Nana's Little Helper...

I know exactly what to do with this watering can.
Nana, just show me where you want me to work my magic.
Yes, these look a little thirsty.
Nana and Grampy's yard looked beautiful!

Cheers to Mother!

A toast to you on this special day...
enough with this crap, give me those rolls!!!

The Next Angelina Jolie...

This weekend mom and I attended two different fundraisers at her school. On Friday we danced with all of her kiddos for 90 minutes to raise money for children in Africa. SCIS has been selected as an O Ambassador School through the Oprah Angel Network. Saturday morning we participated in the Riley Walk-a-Thon. It was a beautiful morning to be outside with friends for a good cause!

After all the do-goodin' I took some time to enjoy the playground!
Oh-wee, these big kids have got nice stuff at this school!
Nathan Baker and I show our better sides...

he is my future prom date and current playmate.

Whoever said "Three's a Crowd"...

Wasn't snugglin' up with these two cutie-pa-tooties!

H-E-A-V-E-N

I Have Lots of Things to Teach You...

Listen carefully kid, in this family grand kids are treated like royalty. Nana and Grampy will spoil you rotten. Your first "princess lesson" is to be sassy, and let me tell you, nothing says sassy like a tiara! Work it girl!

More Pictures of MuMu...

I know I'm her auntie and I'm supposed to say these things... but GOD she is gorgeous!

Introducing Miss Gracie Jane...

We arrived in Savannah, early Saturday afternoon to visit Auntie Kay-Kay, Uncle Jesse and Gracie Jane. Mom gets her "baby fix"
So who is this new person anyway?
NO! I don't want anything to do with her!
OK, I'll give you a second try... if Mom likes you, you can't be all bad!
I will call you MuMu... and so the nickname stuck.

Every baby Addie sees is now referred to as "Baby MuMu"
