Tea party time!

Julia had a tea party with some girl friends this year. Ok, truth be told, I talked her into it because I couldn't handle a big party this year. So I figured a 'tea party' could be with just a couple of girls. It was a blast and the girls were amazing! Very polite, and wonderful eaters! They were all so careful with their tea cups, I was very impressed!

Sleeping dogs?!? Even princesses play dog sometimes!

Love this girl! Her expressions are awesome!


Dance routines on 'stage.'

Wiped out watching Tinkerbell, nice end to a tea party!

So I actually made three Hello Kitty cakes. One practice one because I didn't trust myself, one big one for the family party and one for Julia's tea party. No more cake for a while!


Awesome bling, bling on the capris!

This is the cutest book! La De Da shoes!

Julia's birthday pictures

Sorry I'm so late on getting these up. This month is going to be a little insane for us, I have way too many things on my calender and I'm 8 months pregnant, figures!

We had a fun family birthday party on Julia's actual birthday! How often does that happen?!? It was obviously a Hello Kitty theme. She had a blast, thanks everyone for coming!!

The spread!

We got her a leapster for Christmas this year...(it has been awesome for quiet times, if anyone has been contemplating something like it. We highly recommend it!)...so anyways here she is getting a new game.

Her new soccer shin guards, little does she know why she will soon need them!

Trying on the new duds after the party! Cute poncho and shin guards, what a look!

Julia's 5!

My little girl turned 5 today! Wow, she is seriously growing up so much. Some days I look at her and tell her you look older...stop growing up! She just laughs at me, I love that she can understand jokes and teasing. She is out to breakfast with her daddy, I think this is a wonderful tradition he is starting because Brandon LOVES to go out to breakfast, and Julia loves to hang out with her daddy. She came down this morning hopped in bed with him and the first question out our her mouth was, "daddy can we go to breakfast now?" That's his girl!

Julia is a sweetie, with lots of spunk! She is getting more girly as she gets older, but can still keep up with the boys. Her teacher says she is the type of girl that will be friends with everyone, not just one clique. She is easy going and loves her friends! She loves her brother, and loves teaching him lots of things...when he will listen that is! I was just telling Julia the other day how God made her very cheerful. She is rarely sad, or mad. Even if her brother hurts her, she moves on quickly and doesn't hold a grudge...(i hope that lasts, such a wonderful quality). It's hard to believe she will be in Kindegarden. I told Brandon please don't make me send her on the bus. I can handle her going to school as long as I can still drive her! We are blessed everyday with Julia and her spirit. Love that girl!!

Cole just came in and asked me if he could have a candy cane. I said go ask your dad. He than walks in the room sucking on this thing!



Here's just some cute pictures from the other day.

Who's kids are these?

These can't be my kids I would never let them dress like this right? Oh, wait I was in my sweats when I took the picture. I guess we are all happy and that's what matters!! Some day I hope to get some Christmas pictures on here, but don't hold your breath. This pregnant momma doesn't have much motivation lately!
