St Patty's Day!

The Shamrock reads, "The Sullivan Family Goes Green"


This was Sloan's first and Qman's Second Annual St Patty's Day Parade.

With the name Sullivan, we thought we had to celebrate some how! Here are some pics with beads and all.

Hope you were able to drink some GREEN Beer for me....Aunt Jodi!

Oh what a night.....

I felt this song just pop in my head.....after the great dancing with all the Delta Gamma Girls at Mizzou a couple weekends ago!

It was my sorority's 100 year anniversary and several of our pledge class planned to attend since last year. Some of us girls hadn't seen each other since school because of distance, masters degrees or careers that just haven't allowed the time, which was 10 years ago...OMG...we are old!!!

Even though we don't talk everyday it still felt like we picked up right where we left off; that's what is great about good friends, right? There was a lot of reminiscing going on.....from.....16 of us living in apartment complexes next to one another our senior year, eating lucky charms at all hours of the day and night, singing cheesy songs on the lawn every 10 minutes for practically 24 hours straight during rush week and sleeping in until about 1 pm on weekends and weekdays for that matter. The conversations have changed from what used to be who did you kiss last night and the night before? to... Tell me how you get that rash off your baby's a--? I just have to laugh.

It was an amazing weekend. The stories could go on and on, it was great to reconnect and cherish those memories. However, we all commented that we won't change our lives for anything now. We are so lucky with health, love and happiness. One thing hasn't changed and that's how proud I am to call all these girls my best friends....MY SISTAS!!!!!

Just a little song for memory sake, but it's true!

Mm-mm, my sisters Mmm my sisters

couldn't get a long without you now

I got along without you before I met you

but I sure couldn't do it now

I came to MU just to find

the girls who really are my kind

And now I know I found the best

DG's better than all the rest

( I think we thought we were pretty cool,....better than all the rest... I guess it's a sorority thing)

It's was QMAN's turn

to pray at dinner tonight!  It goes exactly like this..

Dear LORD, thank you so much for the sun and the day, thank you for my peaches, for Sloan, for my ravioli, thank you for the meat, oh I didn't get any meat, Dad can you get me some meat, NO I don't want any meat....thank you for my mom, for school and my friends and our smiles.  

AMEN.

I don't know if you just had to be here...but, oh he cracks us up!

Random Thoughts by:

QUINTON SULLIVAN

He asks me if we could set up a lemonade stand this summer, I asked him how much we should charge, he says, $55 dollars... WOW!  That's some great lemonade!

Aaron's out of town last week and he says, I get to play "the dad"...  I get to stay up late, take out the trash and kiss you a lot mom!

Aaron and QMAN were putting his train table back together today ....and Aaron starts to describe what he was doing and what he plans to do next.   Quinton proceeds to say, "I concur"    Where did he learn this we asked?  He said Obie One says this to Princess Leia in a Star Wars Game. Ok,  these are just a few...more to follow 

Sloan's Nighttime....

Well, she is just so sweet, how can we say no? Papa recently made Sloan her bookcase. (He is so thoughtful, that it's been tradition for all

the grand kids). Ever since the night we have put it in her room, she has noticed it being there. Well, I guess that would be normal for anyone, but Aaron and I just cannot get over the fact that she is so in tune to her surroundings. Her nighttime routine used to be books, bottle, bed! No problem....not so much anymore!

She is WIDE awake after the bottle....flips around from her oh so comfortable position in my arms and demands MORE Books! What I mean by demands is she sits up, smiles and points directly at the bookshelf. She is not satisfied until 2-3 more books are read. Then we have to walk back over to her shelf and place them back to their specific place....then she's content!....oh did I mention she LOVES it when her daddy puts her to bed too! I can see her starting to be a daddy's girl already and who knows if he'll ever be able to say no!

She has grown up sooooooooooooo fast, so I am just living in the moment.....my favorite moment of the day....the nighttime routine, or should I say "her" nighttime routine!

A night of......

SuMO wrestling... What a sight... and I had to get pics!!!!  I don't know who had more fun, Aaron or Quinton?  Sloan and I were the cheerleaders on the sideline.  A pillow comforted all the bumps along the way!  We've been inside for too long so we're looking forward to the springlike weather coming our way!

Just for Fun!

Wanted to share some recent photos Aaron took of the kids.... Sloan was 10 months yesterday and Quinton was 3 1/2...and that 1/2 is a BIG deal to him!
