Adelaide's 3rd Birthday Party

By -
The Clarks were leaving for CA on July 1st, so we decided to have a little impromptu birthday party on the 28th. We had the Clarks & the Twitchells over. We had a BBQ & grilled hamburgers & hot dogs. The kids played, and the adults talked & played "Phase 10". We had a good time.
Adelaide was SO cute! We put 3 candles in her cupcake. I lit them & we started singing. "Happy birthday to you..." And, before we finished, right about the "dear Adelaide" part, she blew out her candles. We were all caught off-guard. It was SO funny, because Amelia was right at her arm waitiing to "help" blow the candles. Too Cute!

These are of our little party guests.
Adelaide was not "too" messy. Isn't she photogenic? She's gorgeous, EVEN covered in cake & frosting. I'm jealous.

When I gave Allison a cupcake, she stuck her face in it & started eating - FROSTING first.
I held-back a few gifts, so she'd have some to open ON her actual birthday. She loved the package that Aunt Katy sent. Thank you!
Grandma & grandpa sent Adelaide a Toys R' Us gift card. She picked this pink phone that she fell-in-love with. We also bought the games "Ants in the Pants" and "Don't Spill the Beans". Talk about bang-for-the-buck. "Thank You Grandma!!!"
Who couldn't love these 2 Cheesy grins??

Chuck E. Cheese...Yay!??!

I decided to suck-it-up and take the family to Chuck E. Cheese for Allison's birthday. In AZ, the kids really liked going to Peter Piper Pizza for pizza & games. We've been here 2 years, and I've managed NOT to make it into Chuck E. Cheese. The kids have asked many times, but it just hasn't happened. So, I thought it would be a treat for them. A friend of mine gave me some coupons & I printed some off the Internet too. We got tons of tokens, pizza & soda for everyone. We had a pretty good time, except for 3 emotional meltdowns - ALL thanks to Mia. One meltdown because she wanted to play a specific game, another when we were down to our last 2 tokens (one for Adelaide & one for Mia). Her final tantrum was on the way out when she changed her mind at the last minute about which prize she wanted (after our turn was over). We'll have to think seriously about another birthday @ Chuck E. Cheese. - Mia says she wants to have her birthday there next month. W

Avery Updates

Avery is thriving, but I find myself busier than ever. Go figure. At her one month checkup, she weighed 8lb 14oz (born 6lb 15oz). Then at her 2 month checkup, she was 10lb 14oz. I don't think I've had a baby grow so fast. We'll have to see how long this keeps up. She's even close to sleeping through the night. Several nights a week, she sleeps for around 7 hours! None of my babies like bathtime . BIG Yawn! Baby bear in her carseat . Allison can't stand to leave her be. She loves her baby sister. Sometimes her eyes don't focus together....My poor little crazy-eyes. Happy baby! She's officially grown out of a few outfits like this one. Sad Baby. Trying to enjoy a litt le playtime. "Look at Mommy Baby!" My Little girls. Floor Dancing Avery needs her binky . Allison is a punk sometimes...She took Avery's sock off, so I made her put it back on. It's a lot harder than it looks.

Video Friday

By -
OK, today is video Friday. I was looking through some video clips with the kids this morning & decided to share a couple of cute ones. This is one of my faves. - This is just typical for Adam when Amelia was born. He loved his little sis SO much. What happened? It's just funny to hear Amelia "whine" as her brother loves on her.
