Happy Birthday Ivie!

We've had somewhat of a crazy month but in there we did celebrate Ivie's Birthday.  Ivie is such a sweet girls.  She is a great helper and sometimes probably has to help a little bit too much.  I love that she's getting a little older and we can have some really nice conversations.  She is very smart and responsible.  She only wanted Roller Blades and a Diary of a Wimpy Kid book.  That's pretty easy to handle.  She was SOOOO cute while opening her presents.  She LOVED everything and was so excited and appreciative about each present.  I loved watching her and wished I would have had more to give her just so I could watch her open them.  I sure do love that girl!

My Little Peanut Turns 6

Well, this one has been hard for me....Claire turns 6.  Bawled in the store while birthday shopping (pathetic, I know)  Claire is such a sweet little girl.  She is very happy and always smiling.  She's always willing to help.  She loves to do art projects.  She's very easy to please, she like anything girlie.  She talks 50 miles a minute at home, but is as quiet as can be if she doesn't know  you. I can't  believe she's getting so big, she'll be in first grade this year.

On her Birthday, she had a friend party.  We had a lot of fun.  The kid's each decorated their own cake, made candy necklaces, and decorated a chef hat for themselves. I'm so grateful to my mom who helped me out with the party.  She also made cute aprons for all of the kids which was part of their treat bags.

This picture just makes me laugh.  She was having a hard time opening the present and was making a cute face.

Happy Birthday to my sweet little Claire Bear.  I love you so much, you are such a blessing in my life.

The Latest

From most recent:

Girls Dance Concert -- they did great. I'm so proud of them. Ivie has learned so much this year. She had an AWESOME teacher who really worked with the girls. They danced to a song from the Tinkerbell movie called "If You Believe". She did great. Claire had so much fun. She did so good with her cute little class. They danced to "Raining Sunshine" from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. She had a yellow parasol that matched her costume perfectly!





Bo's Birthday was really fun. He got a LOT of Spiderman stuff (which he totally loves). I can't believe that my baby is 3 already. I feel like it was yesterday when I brought him home from the hospital (and then I blinked). Here he is with his cake and then with his Spiderman costume on (he's worn it everywhere the last month).





Well, Trav and I have been home from our cruise for over a month now. We had a blast. I think it was the most relaxing vacation I've ever had. It was so nice to be with Trav for a week and have no worries. Here's a few pics, all from Cabo San Lucas, our favorite (more pics on facebook).

Happy Birthday Baby!

Today's my little buddy's birthday.  I can't believe my sweet little baby is 3 years old today.  He has been such a blessing in our lives.  He makes laugh all of the time. Sometimes, I don't remember him as a baby becuase for some reason he has grown up so fast.  He acts like a 5 year old.  I love my little man and wish him a Happy Birthday today.

Bo today:
