Happy Birthday, Daddy!

Today is my sweet husbands birthday and i wanted to make this post for him- I try and make EVERY birthday special.. Mini Me has wrapped his gifts on her own- in purple boxes with manly ribbon, LOL!!
Im TRYING to make his dinner, with a yorkie in my peanut shell from when lil muffin was a baby.
Its all coming together slowly, but i WILL get it done!

Babe, i am so blessed to spend ANOTHER year with you and another birthday.. they only get better!

(In the last 24 hrs, we have had some major events- i'll expand on that later but ask for your prayers for our little yorkie. )

Babe, we are so blessed to spend ANOTHER year with you and another birthday.. they only get better!

We LOVE our Daddy!! Cheers to many more years of laughs, dirty diapers, giggles, messing up the house with toys, and lots of little hugs and kisses !

Weekend of Fun & Celebration!!

This last week, my BEST friend from Birth turned the big 3-0. All of her friends got together and planned a lil suprise party for her- and suprise it was.. Even better, we showed up! ;) I had to make sure it was all decorated, after all what's a party with lousy decor? These chocolate covered marshmallows have become my trademark.. had to make them for the party.. threw some things together and made a dessert table.
I had a stack of scrapbook paper so based the colors around that paper-

The table set up- BEFORE all the food

I found this cool idea in blog land- ribbon tied in a knot in all colors..

made it almost look like a corset top - HUGE HIT

The girls at the party- including mini me holding the wine glass we gave her- in pink said "30" and had glitter all over it

She was SO happy -- probably to have a get together, NOT to be 30.. she's still in shock over that one

My fave part of this picture? Lil muffin in the bottom left corner.. look at her face!

The party hat was a hit... DOLLA TREE where else?

CHEERS TO ANOTHER 30 years!!

I have some more pictures from this trip on our way home that i KNOW will intrigue you.. little clue..GYPSIES!

Lil Muffin turns 2 !!

Seriously, i'm pretty much obsessed with these pictures and cant pick just a few.. so.. here they are. Lil Muffin turned 2 yesterday and im just amazed at how big she looks.. its pretty sad actually.
Mini me is in Jersey for 2 wks, so it was just the 3 of us that celebrated and went to Macaroni Grill- why there? Well, last year when we moved here, that's just the place we ate for her first birthday and so decided to make it a tradition.
I bought her cute little tutu on Etsy.com. I put in the search engine, Toddler tutus and this is from the selller sweetie pie tutus.

She wanted to show our neighbor : "Keyeeeeeeeeee" her tutu- shes the ULTIMATE peeping tom as you'll see in the pics to follow. Note the Crocs, lol

Yes, there is a Q on the front of her shirt- monogrammed is how we do now that we're in the South ;)

And then some pool time since that's what she wanted

Meeting daddy for Dinner with her Fancy Nancy purse from our nieghbor Kelly-

seriously have you not always wanted that neighbor that was like your FAVE neighbor that you could just walk into their house and borrow something or talk about anything? WE GOT EM!!!

wouldnt trade them for the world!

Watching Daddy text a pic of her to his family and lil muffins sissy that's visiting cousins in Jersey-

Were making S.L.o.W progress on the no paci thing.. but

its progress, people!!

Talking to kristin on the phone who was calling with a Birthday wish

Leaving dinner- look at her! could you just eat her up with her purse in hand?!

We wanted to celebrate with our super cool neighbors so went to cold stone and bought those cupcakes they have- the liner of the cupcake is SOLID chocolate- filled with cake and ice cream and frosting on top.. DELISH!

YEah... THIS little face is her newest FAVE- sissy taught her to stick out her tongue- FANTASTIC. Wait til i whip this pic out as her senior pic portrait for her yearbook, joke will be on HER!

Didnt want the outfit to get messy- eating across the street

We're sorry the celebration wasnt bigger with all ya'll there-- maybe next time.. but hope that thru these pics you felt as though you WERE there!!!

WE REALLY MISSED our grandpa and grandma AND our sissy!!!

Birthday Wishes

To my the BEST dad and BEST Grandpa~ Who could ask for anything better? Thanks for all the memories-
A few pictures and many memories.. We hope your birthday is a special one and wish we could've spent it with you!!

With Mini Me at Canyonview Camp & Bauman Farms

Getting the backyard ready for a flower bed and Grass- cause on the West Coast, they dont give you ANY grass in your backyard, unlike here in the South where they at least give you HALF a backyard of grass-

*Happy Birthday, Wucas!!!*

Yesterday, we celebrated Luke's birthday- lex has fall break so we get a long 4 day weekend. Luke took some well deserved time off. Lex and i wanted to make his birthday extra special this year- we wanted to suprise him, so after we put Quin to bed, we made a cheesecake, and these fantastic cupcakes i found on Delish.com- to die for! Then it was off to vacuuming, cleaning sheets and picking up the house- after putting streamers up and decorating a little too.

After getting our storage stuff transferred here,yesterday (YIPEE!!!!) we came home and drove around looking for houses and then celebrated with dinner at our Fav mexican place.

Last year was Lexi's fav year of her dad, cause in oregon he was 34, just like the golf channel!!!, and according to Marrianne, he's 40, so we just dont know HOW old he is now !!a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTh34h46mxAdK_Zhz86xz9IyoaK-xVyr4Z8hlhXd4CIZE3GfTim-hZrNph_Hou2a_6skyu6zB7vU9Go0-YBpi4EUU4px93i7FvqkkGczJqM6CZ7e67aupXiHgSbS1VhR8Jv83lVeeZHVw/s1600-h/027.JPG">

Look at Quins smile and compare it with luke's - same! And lex, i feel like i'm looking at MYSELF !

Seriously how special is THIS picture?!

She learned how to stuff her face like her mommy

Tuckered out after helping make desserts and decorating for daddy

** Happy Birthday, Luke!! **
