My Transformer and Princess (and the tough guy)

Here is E as beautiful Princess Aurora. Although if you had asked her what she wanted to be she would have said a "a bunny and I will say honk, honk" I have no clue where she got that.

Here is B. He was Bumblebee the Transformer. When people would ask what he was going to be he would say bumblebee and I think they all pictured him dressed as a bee.

A picture of my three favorite people! B chose the "moosetash" and eyebrows for M.

Here are the two pumpkins that I carved. The kids helped me paint the Jack Skelllington one. We have been loving that movie at our house! We were in Disneyland a few days before Halloween and they had a cool fireworks show with Nightmare Before Christmas characters and Music. Way fun!

My New Obsession!

I have found a new love. Don't worry I haven't abandoned Mike (too much). I Love SEWING! Who would have guessed it, huh?!? It is a good creative outlet. I feel am learning something new! There are so many stinking cute fabrics out there, I hardly can contain myself!! Here is my latest project: matching skirts for E and her two cousins that are all four months apart in age.

E's First Dance Class

Instead of E doing preschool, I decided to put her in a dance class with her cousin A. They are the two best friends in there!! This is the picture I got when I asked them to smile. Can you say "Bitter Beer Face?"

Hair Fix

I have been reading a hair blog lately and it has really got me excited about doing new things in E's hair. Here is one that I came up with on my own.

First Soccer Game

B's team name is the Goats. I wouldn't say that he particularly likes it, but I can already see improvement from his first game. At his last game he said "Mom, I got two kicks and seven pushes"

Here he is chasing after the ball again. He has been bribed to score a goal. If he does, he can choose a dinosaur at the toy store. That is some serious incentive for him.

First day of school

B rides the bus both ways to school. He (and me) were nervous about how the bus would be but it went very smoothly!

E giving her big brother a love before he got on the bus. She still misses him while he is gone and can't wait until he gets back.

B with his friend B waiting for the bus to come to our stop.

How is B this old that he can go to school all by himself?!? It is crazy.

E's Birhtday

Here are some pictures of E's birhtday. How in the world did she get so old and big??!? Here is the happy (usually) 3 year old:



Here we are with the birthday cake I made her. I felt a little out of practice with the fondant, but it was fun to make anyway. I call the cake "The Barbie Belle of the Ball"

Here she is dressed up in a Tinkerbelle costume that Uncle M and Aunt M's family gave her. She loves to dress up.

This was at her birthday party with M's side of the family. She had a Disney Princess cake. Yes, she was eating a sucker as she was waiting for cake and ice cream. It was her birthday, right?

She loved opening up all the presents. She even let B help when he asked to. She really is a sweetheart inside all the spunky exterior!!
