Happy 2nd Birthday, Colton

Colton Turns ONE!

Notice the banner that his sisters made him!

Holy Cow- She's NINE!

Victoria just celebrated her ninth birthday. She is such a joyous part of our lives that I truly can't remember life without her. (Cliche, I know!) It is hard not to think how much things will change over the next nine years. One thing is for sure- I am NOT ready for any of it.

Happy Birthday to Me!

After work, Girl Scouts, a wonderful meal with my family, and getting everyone tucked into bed, I went out and spent the last 3 hours of my birthday waiting in line for the midnight premiere of Breaking Dawn.  I wasn't alone. Our group of 8 thirty-somethings was surrounded by a couple thousand teenagers. Well actually, there was probably an even split between the two age groups.  Teenagers in pajamas and mommies all dressed up.  I sported my Cullen crest shirt. We played trivia while we waited... I even got red velvet cupcakes and a serenade from the crowd.  Here's to feeling like a teenager again. If only I could bounce back from the lack of sleep like the good ole days....

Cake for Daddy

Molly and Victoria made Joe a cake for his birthday today- for breakfast!  It was super yummy. I did learn that I should always check to be sure my helpers adequately greased BOTH cake pans. Otherwise, a two-layer cake becomes one.
