MY BABY TURNS 3 (PARTY #1)

My Baby is now 3, wow how time flys.
Addi had her first party on Sunday with the Harris Family. She was so excited that every time the doorbell rang she sprinted to the door, flung it opened and yelled "It's my Birthday!"
She was a HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRL!


I was going TRY to make a elaborate Dora cake for Addi, but every time I thought about it I got stressed out. I decided to relieve the stress and order it from WalMart, it actually was yummy with cream cheese frosting and looked a lot better then I could do. Addi LOVED it and that's all that matters!

She got a Dora tub castle from her Grandma & Grandpa Harris, she loves it so much.
She also got a new Minky blanket, clothes, a necklace from her brother, books, and more Pet Shops. She is one spoiled little girl!



Make a wish a wish baby cakes.


Addi we are so blessed to have you in our family, thank you for bring so much joy into our lives.
We LOVE you and your BIG personality, bossiness and all!

XOXO

HOPE EVERYONE HAD A HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!
I spent the day with the BEST people in my life.
I did get crazy and make pink heart shaped pancakes for my sweethearts.
Then I hit the gym. When I got home I heard little feet running around in the kitchen, (I knew something was up.) I opened the door and my sweet kids yelled SURPRISE! They had candy,cards and my favorite, chocolate covered strawberries for me. Their faces were priceless, so excited, so proud of themselves. I LOVE my adorable kids!
Once we got ready for the day we all opened are gifts from one another. Then went and ate at the Pizza Factory. Later we went and played the Wii at Uncle Ryan and Aunt Karlie's house with family. All-in-all it was a FABULOUS LOVE DAY!

My surprise from the kiddos.

XOXO!

The kids were so excited to help their dad open his present.
A pull up bar, (that's what he's been wanting.)

My Adorable Sweethearts!


The kids got candy of course and they each got a movie, nothing to crazy!
Addi got Space Buddies and Porter Madagascar 2, which is one of the funniest movies.

Jordan truly is a romantic and knows what I would LOVE...
Oh Ya Baby a trip to Cancun Mexico. I was pretty shocked, he really got me!
I don't get it until the end of April but the anticipation will be exciting,
plus more time to get ready for it...say about 10lbs.
Jordan thank you very much, I am so blessed to have found such a wonderful, thoughtful, patient man to be mine FOREVER!
I LOVE YOU!

He choose to go to Jumping Jacks for his special reward.
The kids had so much fun there and wore their selves out.

Great job son for being so good.
Remember, Good Behavior = Good Rewards!

Good Behavior = Good Rewards

The kids have Good Behavior charts at home, so every time they listen the FIRST time or share etc. they get a sticker for their chart. It seems to work, anyways once it is full they get to go do something special. Addi chose to go to The Build-A-Bear Workshop. She had a blast! It was great to see the excitement on her face!
Step 1: Choose Your Pet
It wasn't hard for Addi, she new she wanted a puppy.
Step 2: Fluff Your Pup


Step 3: Make A Wish On Her Heart


Step 4: Give Her A Bath

Step 5: Give Her A Name...Princess

Here is our Princess with her princess.

GOOD BEHAVIOR = GOOD REWARDS!

New Years Eve Party.

My little sissy Heather had a New Years Eve party at her house (Pajama theme party).
Most of the Fam showed up along with family friends. It was a blast playing games and the Wii with family to bring in the New Year. We watched the ball drop at 12:00am, yelled Happy New Year,kissed and then everyone went home to get kids to bed. It's not like it used to be! We had a great time and there is now where I'd rather have been then with family (maybe with family on a beach somewhere). Hope you all had a Happy New Year!
Mario Cart was the life of the party.
Playing with Heather, Jed and my sister in-law Angela.

The men's turn to play.
Jake, Jordan, Jed and Matt

Bringing in the New Year with my Beautiful Family!
I am not really making any new years resolutions because it is always a let down for me.
This year I am going to try to have more fun and remember the important things in life!
