Happy Birthday Londy! My neice's third birthdaw was yesterday and with it falling on a Saturday, she got to have her party on her actual birthday!!! This was a long anticipated pony princess party that little Londy Lou had been dreaming of! Everything turned out great! It was decorated so cute and there was tons to do! The kids had a blast and the food and cake was so yummy! Even all us adults had a great time! The kids never wanted to stop playing! We stayed longer to help clean up and the kids played their hearts out! My favorite part was seeing London in her princess tutu I made her for her birthday. She truly is a princess and looked so beautiful! We love You sweetie! Happy Birthday!

Girl's Night and Dana Park Grand Opening!

They had a grand opening at Dana Park this weekend so Kelsey and I took the girl's out on Saturday for the snow field! They had this huge truck out there laking snow and a mountain of it for the kids to play on! There was a red carpet leading up to it, it was adorable! And on that note, we were on channel 10 news! Since we were early, we were on of the first one's to walk up the carpet and play in the snow so they were videoing it for the news! Pretty cool huh?!? Our little 20 seconds of fame! ha ha The girld were a little hesitant but ended up having fun and making snoballs and throwing them. Scout loved eating the snow! ha ha We had lunch at Costa Vida and shopped around a little. The girls noticed how they filled their fountains with soap so there were bubbles galore and they had the most fun with that! The HUGE blown up Ocean Blue yogurt cup was a hit too! The girls thought it was cool and kept asking where they could get some of that blue yogurt? ha ha Yeah Ocean Blue! You gotta try it!

This pic actually has nothing to do with it but I had to throw it in here. Brian got a steal for these jellies for Annie and she is OBSESSED! She'd wear them to bed if I let her!
Anni and Ellee having a blast wiht the bubbles in the fountain

Right before we left, the snow was still there! I can't believe it hadn't melted! So Annie wanted to go for it one last time!
Girls Night at Peter Piper! Mommy did awesome this time and got tons of tickets! So here's what Anie had to show for it!
How cute are these shades?!? You know that was my pick!

What my Annie is up to these days...

I have been horrible the last few months with keeping up on my once a month "Day In The Life of Anaston" posts. So, due to my slacking, I want to just make a good size list of all the cute and smart things she is doing right now. Forewarning:This could be a long one! I am obsessed with her!

1.Anaston will throughout the day talk in sentences! She puts up tp five or six words together, it's amazing! "I want my drink please" or "Dora! Let's go Dora!" or "Thank you Mommy" or "Mickey and Pluto play ball".
2. She has recently learned to say I love you too.
3.Every morning, I go get Annie and she has a big smile and waves at me and says,"Hi Mommy!" Then she points to Brian's side of the bed and says,"Daddy's at work?"Then she says,"Drink and Mickey or Dora"...we go downstairs and she goes and gets the powder, opens the fridge and gets the water and points for me to get her cup. I make it and she takes my hand and goes downstairs for Mickey or Dora.
4.Always wants her snackis in a cup now. She says"fishies in a cup" or points to and gets whatever she wants and asks for a cup for it.
5.Loves to be outside. She names off everything she likes to do out there when we're about to go out...I wanna swing, slide, jump on tramp, see fishies, see planes, watch cars, see moon, see the doggies and moo(cow).
6.Loves her bubble bath!
7.When she's randomly wanting to get out of the house she just says, Mom...I want watch Mickey in car.
8.She has known green blue and red for a while. She loves to point out things that are those colors and tell me what color it is. She loves to point at our cars and tell us the colors like Daddy's car is blue.
9.She can count to six on her own now.
10.She unfortunately figured out opening the back door and would just freely let herself out to play so I had to start being a nazi about locking it!
11.She has to hide when she does her business now and if I or anyone else see's her or tries taking to her she says,"Bye bye Mommy" and has us leave.
12.She has started getting embarrased and shy when she gets excited. It so cute..the little face she does. I love it.
13.She can carry a full conversation on the phone with somebody.
14.She loves cupcakes and says it so cute!
15.Anaston has become quite the climber lately! And it's always the most dangerous situations! She has no fear! Even if she gets hurt, she's right back up there. She's quite the litle acrobat.
16.She sings Twinkle Twinkle to me, it is the sweetest thing in the whole world! She has the sweetest, best little voice!
17.She loves to sing and dance to any music anywhere...even if it's just a cell phone ringing!
18.She loves going to Daddy's ball games. She calls it ball ball and begs to go as soon as she see's Daddy getting dressed in his uniform. Sometimes we happen to drive by fields when we're going somewhere and without a ddoubt, she points it out and asks if we're going. It's so sad if we're not!
19.She's quite the trickster. Already knows the sweet talk and cute looks to give to get what she wants. Sheeasily tricks her aunts into giving her treats.
20.She loves to sit behind you where you can't see her and tap your shoulders and hide and laugh when you turn to look at her.
21. She loves to having laughing or screaming wars or I love you wars back and forth!
22.The second Daddy walks in from work, she screams and runs toward him with a big hug and yells Daddy!
23.Everyone always points out how much older she looks, how much taller she is, and how much more she talks and can say than any other child they know for her age! It's true! I so agree!
24.She loves babies! She'll push her baby around in it's stroller all day, feeds her, kisses her, etc. She loves being around babies and mothering them. She'll make a great big sis!
25.Anaston is very social and makes friends quick. She adapts to different situations well and I am so happy I don;t have a child who clings to my leg and screams whenever I leave her sight! She's capable and comfortable being independant and I love that. She has her mommy moments when necessary.
26.She loves to feed the ducks and share her snacks with the dogs! She also loves to chase the dogs...sometimes with her stroller or shopping cart, it's scary!
27.She loves to go to the mall and ride the carousel. She now cries when she has to get off!
28.She is a freak about cleaning up her mess and her toys! I don; even have to ask her!
29. She loves to help me do laundry and push the buttons when it's ready.
30.She loves money already and already has an outstanding piggy bank!
31.She hates when I brush her teeth but loves to brush her own teeth.
32.She LOVES water! Drinking it, swimming in it,playing with in the sink, a running faucet she can splash in, a splash pad...whatever! We weren't able to put her in lessons this summer but I'm really glad now that we didn't. By mid August, she was swimming on her own! My friend put her girls in lessons so she would work with her for a few minutes whenever we would swim with them. We don't even have a pool so it's not like we went all that often and so quickly she was swimming! She's so smart and coordinated with everything! I' so glad I didn't throw a bunch money away on lessons when they're at an age where they forget anyway! With a heated pool where we're moving, she'll be able to swim year round and won't forget! Awesome!
33.She's so girly now. She points things out and says,"Cute!" or "Cool!" She'll help me pick out her outfits and bows and pick them up and tell me they're cute!
34.She's still obsessed with Mickey Mouse Clubhouse but recently gained an obsession for Dora as well.
35.Anaston knows her own name and if you ask her what her name is she'll tell you "Annie". It's so exceptionally cute!
36.She puts her shoes on by herself. She takes them off alot and then likes to do them herself. Sometimes the opposites end up on the wrong feet but she'll get it.
37.She can fasten her seatbelts by herself in her carseat, wagon and highchair.
38.Totally in the do it myself stage abut alot of things!
39.Anaston LOVES animals, mickey, Dora,coloring,
shoes, treats, milk and water(She says both of those so cute),cheese, marshmallows and unfortunatly soda.
40.She plays this game wiht me and Bri where you ak her,"Do you love Dadda?" and she says,"No" so he pretends to cry and shr runs over and kisses him and says ya. Then he'll ask her,"But do you love mama?" She says "No!" So I do the same and she rushes over with a kiss and to tell me ya and we do it back and forth forever. She loves it!
41.She has her own pretend makeup set and will sit in the bathroom and pretend to put on her makeup as I do mine! So adorable!
42.She plays the piano like three times a day and sings songs...sometimes she sings with Rudy, the dog or immitates his singing and cracks up.
43.Annie loves to pat your cheeks. You'll tell her to go pat your cheeks and she runs over and pats them so quick with this look on her face like she just wants to squeeze you and she laughs! It's just the cutest and funniest thing!
44.She loves bubble blowing machines. She would play in the bubbles all day if I would let her!
45.Lately Anaston is more energetic than ever! She loves to run around full blas and gets in crazy mode where she runs around, screams and chases and plays with the dogs or with her friends if she's with them at the time.
46. Annie helps me blow her food all the time now. Anything that is hot, she blows it.
47.Annie always wants to show you her owies and have you kiss them! And if you get hurt, she's the first one to come over and give you a hug and kiss you better! It's so sweet!

I could go on and on! I guess this is good for now! ha ha

Posh Princess Boutique in the works...

So my good friend Posey is basically setting up a blog for me to display my custom boutique tutu's and hairbows for all of you with a little princess out there. She is so awesome and is doing so much for me!(Thanks Posey) We started one, which is the link you see at the top right of by blog but haven't got very far. We're both super busy right now but going to try and get it done asap. I am horrible at making decisions and kinda threw something together for a title and blog address without much thought and I am not satisfied. After a little brain storming, I have come up with the name I'm much more excited about! So we will be transferring over the exhisting items to the new blog address and adding to complete the website. Sorry for the confusion. I only have a couple pictures right now but soon you will see alot of what I can do! I am so excited to get this up and running! Things are already taking off alot more than I expected and I don't even have a website! Yeah! Keep checking the link on my blog for updates and contact me with any interests or questions! Thanks!

Happy Birthday Mama!

My mom's birthday was this past Sunday and I didn't get to do a special post for her since I still havo no freakin computer! But that doesn't mean I love her any less! I have the most amazing mom ever known to mankind! She is the most thoughtful, selfless, non judgemental, patient, beautiful, loving and nurturing woman in the world! She has done so much for me and is such a wonderful example! She is also an un believeable grandma! Anaston, as well as her other grand daughters love her to pieces and she is their comfort! I talk to her every day, usualyy more than once! She is so easy to talk to and has the best advice! She is very spiritual and teaches me alot. We had a wonderful celebration for her for Sunday dinner...that was awesome having it fall on a Sunday! Worked out perfect! We love you mom! Happy Birthday!

Sunday dinner and a few extra's!

Annie loves her Daddy so much! The first thing she does when she wakes up is points to Brian's sid eof the bed and says,"Daddy's at work!" For a while there, first thing she would say everyday is,"Where's daddy?" It didn't take long before she had it all figured out! She asks about him all day and loves to chat with him on the phone when he has a break at work! She has recently discovered that if she wakes up earlier, she gets to see her Dad before he leaves for work so for four days now, we've been getting up between 7:45 and 8:15 instead of nine or so. It's a little adjustment but woth it. She realizes he'll be leaving to work so he is all she wants in the morning. He is also the one she designates for reading her stories at night. She has the same five books every night for him to read and just lays with him and interacts with the book. It's too cute!

Annie is a baby lover! Real babies, baby dolls...whatever! She is getting to the age where she can make believe and has so much fun pretending to feed the babies, put them to sleep, give them kisses and loves and so on. She's always got het baby stroller with her! She's even managed to teach herself how to get it up and down stairs. She'll be a great big sis! That is until it's mommy's baby!ha ha We caught Emma, Matthew and Anaston playing on the piano after sunday dinner. It was so cute! They were giggling and having so much fun! The only one missing was Rudy, Brian's parents' dog who sings when you play the piano. Anaston has been playing the piano every day since and gets Rudy to come right up next to her on the bench and plays for him while he sings. She loves it and laughs the whole time. I have the best video of it!
This is my sweet and adorable neice London. I gave her this tutu and matching bow which you can't really see in this picture for her birthday next week. She is having a princess pony party and loves to dress up so this was the perfect gift! I had to give it to her early so she can wear it to her party! She tried on her outfit for me, it was too cute!
Jade took great care of Anaston for me last night so I could do my mom's hair. I have been doing ALOT of hair lately and I'm always trying to get my mom's done as well but something always comes up for one of us. So Jade was nice enough to step in cuz mom was long over due! She had so much fun with her!

What we've been up to...

LOVES IT!!! How can you not?!?

Well, things are moving along. We move out at the end of this month! YEAH! WOO HOO! Time to celebrate! Brian started a new job and is loving it and doing really well!
