Swim Lessons!

As a gal who fondly calls the shores of Southern California my Homeland, the deep blue (and my babies’ safety within) is a big deal to me.  My parents always encouraged my siblings and me to become strong swimmers, and I fully plan on doing the same with my (excitable) (kinda impulsive) (somewhat reckless) (definitely wild) crew.  So just like in summers past, we had the Littles take swim lessons with the fabulous Coach Melissa.  And they had a blast!  And conquered their fears!  And learned a lot too!

Now maybe with more swimming skills under their belts Mommy can relax a bit.

Or not.

Cause peace and tranquility and all that other good zen stuff ain’t really how I roll.

There may have been a lot of FEELINGS going on when this photo (below) was taken.  Cause again, that’s how we Plaxico/Wright ladies roll.  Nothing a good dose of vitamin D can’t fix!

“Ahhhhhmmm.  Namaste.”

And finally, for a little comedic relief, some Poolside videos.  (Type in “wright” to watch).

Waterboy Ninja Booty Dancing will never go out of style.  If it’s up to the Little Mister, that is…

Never underestimate the power of a good dolphin…

And stairs are a Mama’s friend.  Particularly when a certain Little Three Year Old has decided that he has conquered his mountains (err…lakes?) and floaties are no longer needed (or acceptable).

Happy Summer!  Stay safe!!!

And thanks, Nena and Pops, for the gifting the Littles with these swimming lessons!

Celebrating The Lil Mister 5 Year Old!

We LOVE whoopin’ it up with our big boy, the
5 year old Little Mister!

Birthday Wake-Up

A Wright family tradition. We seek to start the day with as much racket, hoopla, and off-key (yet heartfelt!) singing as humanly possible.

(Type in “wright” to watch the videos)

Birthday Breakfast

…Of Champions. Because all cacophonous singing must be followed by a box of very sugary donuts.  It’s the law.  In Wright Land, at least.

Birthday Lunch

Mama’s only gonna visit this place once a year…and only for her special Little Man. My Gross Tolerance has its limits. But he was mighty happy to visit “Old MacDonald’s!”

Birthday Dessert

More, more, more sweets.  Because that’s how we do!

BIRTHDAY PAR-TAY!!!

Time to PLAY!

The Little Mister is FIVE!

For my charming and beloved Little Mister

on your 5th birthday

E

Easygoing and joyous, this kid’s not hard to please.
With a shovel or a stick in tow, he’ll find adventure wherever his feet lead.

L

Laughter is his tonic, he loves to smile and jest.
Making others mirthful is what he enjoys the best.

L

Lavish with affection, this boy is full of love.
He’ll cover you with kisses, and then run free with a shove.

I

Ignitable and impulsive, he can go 0 to 60.
This energy fuels his imagination, inspiring him to build anything that sounds nifty.

O

Observant and thoughtful, his smarts will blow you away.
A bibliophile through and through, a great story will always hold him sway.

T

Talkative when he’s comfortable, then he has so much to say.
But he’s most at ease with his animal pals, and could romp with them all day.

T

Tomfoolery is his craft, and mischief is his guise.
He’ll woo you with his impish grin, and the sparkle in his eye.

 

Elliott Michael Wright, we think the world of you.  And we are thrilled to behold the amazing things you do!

We LOVE you!
– Your Fan Club
