Sprinkled

Saturday night I was "sprinkled" with love by a few of my friends and family members. A Sprinkle is like a Shower but only a Sprinkle. Get it? Small and not a full blown baby shower affair. It was perfect and I loved it. Thanks to Chelsea (and my mom) for putting it together. I loved the details Chels...pink and pretty. Thanks to Amy who gave me these pics.

Molly is due to arrive in 4 weeks and 5 days. This made me really excited for her arrival. I hope its sooner rather than later.

cheesy birthday

the birthday boys...

 did they eat these cupcakes?

NO.

but we did.

Kyla's "Blog" {Part 2}

Kyla has been walking around with her kid camera for about 48 hours straight now. She plays with it a ton and I've only ever downloaded the pictures to my computer once (since Easter). She had 690 on there....how many can it hold?? Anyways, she's always saying, "Mom, we should put this on your blog!" Here you go Kyla girl...a few of my favorites. Some made me laugh out loud.

 

Daddy's Party

Happy Birthday Daddy...(two days early).

...Love, these two "special girls"

Thursday is Casey's actual 31st birthday but we decided to celebrate as a family tonight. (We have other things going on other nights this week.) The girls planned the whole party. The theme: Cinderella (Daddy's favorite Disney princess, of course). They decorated with Cinderella plates and stickers and got ready to "surprise" him.

SURPRISE!!!

 The banner with a Cinderella carriage (on the left).

The presents: It's Lemon Meringue

(Daddy's favorite Strawberry Shortcake character of course). 

I love all their faces in this one.

A game of pin-the-tail on the donkey.  

And the dessert: Dirt in a Cup.

I know this is a contrast from the Cinderella theme

but a boy in Kyla's class once brought this for Star of the Week

and she thought it was a wonderful idea for a "boy dessert".

Girls like it too!



We love you Daddy!

Happy Birthday.

We hope you had a great time at the party.

Thanks for being fancy with us and for loving princesses,

crowns, ribbons, pink and US.

Star of the Week

Here she is!

The Star of the Week at preschool.

This typically happens on the week of your birthday

but Kyla got stuck with two snow days

and was out of luck on Star of the Week.

This is her make up week and she is super excited.

Being the Star of the Week comes with lots of privileges, so I'm told.

Mostly it sounds like you get to go first and are the teacher's helper.

But you also get to bring treats.

Kyla brought these crown cookies!

Very appropriate for "Q" week.

Queen of the Week?



Kyla's Art (some more of it)

Kyla gave me this drawing yesterday. I love it. What does it say when you have enough kids that you have to tape a second sheet of paper to the first for the whole family to fit? It says you need a minivan...well folks, we got one and I'm loving it. We drove it around today and it was great but more about that later.

Kyla also drew a picture of me pregnant. It is hilarious and I will keep it forever. The entire thing is in yellow crayon and doesn't show up in  a photo...you'll have to come by to see it.

I love my little artist.

Ten on Ten: January 2011

Done

This week I powered through the rest of my 2010 Project Life album. It was one of the things on my to do list. Especially because I have decided to go back to picture-a-day format for 2011 and I'm sure that there will be even more photos in this next year with the arrival of Molly. So... it's done. Yea! Hooray. On to 2011.

K ♥ H ♥ M ♥

A Christmas present from Casey came in the mail yesterday. A new charm for my necklace.

She has a name... it's Molly. We can't wait to meet her.

Cameraless in the New Year

That's right folks...my camera is in the shop and today is the first day of my new Project 365. Aaaahhhh. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed right now. No Christmas pictures up yet. Things are getting accomplished though...thanks to my mom. The baby's room is getting painted this weekend -"Cupid's Wing." I'm loving it so far. I've printed out pictures for Project Life...gotta get journaling. I have decided to venture back into the Project 365 world...although day number one has not gone well and I have not purchased any sort of kit. I have no pictures to share today but I do have this cute Heidi clip.

Only eight weeks til baby girl #3 arrives! Off to make some to do lists.
