Katie's 3rd Birthday Party!

She is our big monkey pants! Katie is seriously one of a kind! So many things make her so funny and so unique! Her favorite color is orange and she seriously loves monkeys! So for the big birthday bash, we threw a monkey party. Complete with Curious George decorations, monkey masks, monkey music, monkey games, monkey cupcakes, and banana splits! It was a blast!

The Monkey Pants Herself!


Katie LOVES the Lion King! Papa and Gamma gave her Pumba and Timon. A great gift!
I have to say... these turned out really cute!
The friends!




Happy Birthday my little love!

Dress-Up Extravaganza!

For Christmas my Mom made the girls a dress-up closet and filled it with dress-up clothes and accessories from the nearby consignment shop. And let me tell you, this consignment shop rocks! It must be a hotspot area for little girls in dance classes. There were so many dance outfits and mom even bought them tap shoes! My mom is amazing and this gift has been a big hit! Check out our cuties! (Just a few pics from the hundreds to choose from!)

Strutting our stuff!








Are these their Harry Potter moves?

What do these three things have in common?

One day I asked the girls if they wanted to do a workout video with me. I am so glad I did because it was hilarious! They really tried to do everything and they were so cute! They had a great time too! Well, when they saw my hand weights, they decided they needed some too. So they went in their playroom and chose these to be their weights!

You know you have no ordinary mother when...

Your two-year-old brings you this random toy and, with a very serious contemplating look, hands it to you and says, "Look, Grandma!"

(as an example of how bad at blogging I have been, not that we need examples, this happened last summer and I just had to record it! So funny!)

Emily's Newborn Photo Shoot

Well, a little late, but... presenting Emily's fabulous newborn photos! My very-talented friend Tara came and took some great newborn photos of Emily! They are so precious! Thanks Tara!
