Hello Kitty Party

The Hello Kitty Party that was litterally planned since November of last year! So here it is:

These Adorable invitations - thanks to Aunt Charlotte and her Cricuit machine

The huge Pinata that ended up being made by my wonderful neighbor!

Mikayla loved it so much that we just cut a hole in the back and dumped the candy out.

The kids didn't seem to care since they still got tons of candy!

Totally forgot to take pictures of all the fruit, veggies and 2 dozen cupcakes on the stand...

so here is a few cupcakes the next day.

90 balloons total! crazy!
30 hello kitty hand made faces...crazy!


"Pin the nose on the Hello kitty face"

After the treasure hunt..

Tons of presenets...lots of kids...and lots of decorations.... how fun!

Uncle Paul and Cousin Thomson


Papa Jon and Mimi Terry

These crazy cake pops dont look like the picture from bakerella.com but the kids loved them

and they tasted amazing.

Charlotte helped me make these two different times and they took about 5 hours!

Mikayla's request "pink hello kitty cupcakes"

April Showers

Cute Cousins. The little cousin beside Mikayla is a whole year younger than her...and he has almost passed her up in weight and height!


Mikayla was "helping" Porter sit still for the picture

Mikayla loves putting her feet in the dogs water bowl

"Mom take a picture of me and Addie because is a bunny 'wight' now!

The adorable skirt my sis in laws mom helped me make! Mikayla loves it!

Visit to the Great grand Bakers- The sun was a little crazy in this picture.

"Addie dogs just like my Addie at home- take a picture Mom"

March Happenings

Freezing cold Easter!

Mikayla loved hunting for eggs this year!

The Cousins annual egg hunt- Mikayla made out like a bandit!

Easter morning. She found every egg and a few fun treats and toys!

Papa Jon's neighborhood egg hunt. We got there just after the people in charge had dumped eggs in a pile and so 10 kids got dozens of eggs. Luckily Papa had saved some for her...and she didn't know the difference! it was soooooo cold and about 3 inches of snow on the ground

She loved playing in the last big snow of the season!

Grandma Curtis gave her this cute kitty dress that she loves!

My new treat to make and take- Love them!

Alive

Mikayla is good
Life is good-
will post some of our crazy year so far ..... Sometime soon (when I feel like it)


Ta- Ta

Oh the funny things you say

The Olympics have played on our TV for the past two weeks! At first it was fun, exciting and amazing to watch all those athletes try for a gold...but now...I think I'm done with them...

Mikayla being the sponge that she is was going back and forth from my bathroom to the main family room where Jonathan was watching some sort of game. Anyways, all of a sudden I hear "Bull Cwap, Daddy Bull Cwap, Bull Cwap Daddy, Bull Cwap (repeated at least 50 times!!!!)" I knew she had to have heard this from her Dad so I just kept my mouth shut and was trying not to laugh and I hear him try and explain that Bull Crap is a naughty word, and that Daddy shouldn't be saying this word.

Maybe that will be the last lesson he needs to watch what he says....

Last month she was watching TV with daddy when someone said, "You Bit@#" and so yes...she repeated that word for a few minutes...luckily no reaction was given so she has forgotten all about it (hopefully)

February Fun

My little girl is not a baby anymore!

She definitely has some funny genes from the two of us...

Being goofy- from me...

and the famous "Taco Tongue" from Daddy! (it must a recessive gene because my Dad & Cousins have it too! Dang it!...
Mikayla has made some great things happen in the last couple of weeks!

-She loves playing with our new neighbor Summer...who happens to be a month younger and just as sneaky as Mikayla!

-Wearing Mommy's make-up "Look Mommy I am a clown" is what she said when she saw her face!

-She loves hiding Daddy while he is taking a nap..in all of her clean (just folded laundry!)- and yes she is in underwear! So.........

-To my Favorite part....SHE IS ALL POTTY TRAINED!!!!!!!! wahoo!

Our Trip to Seattle

Mikayla and I had the opportunity to go to Seattle to see my family. We had so much fun enjoying the unusually warm weather they had. One day it felt like 70 degrees! It was great! Mikayla learned some new dance moves from Uncle Ryan...and I got to help make tons more Birthday and Thank You cards with my Mom's talent of rubber stamping!

We also had the opportunity to go downtown to the Science Center & play on a few fun rides out near the Space needle. Mikayla's favorite part of the trip she says was "playing with Papa & making crafts with Grandma Barby." The funny thing is that all she says everyday is "Uncle Ryan is a devil Child...he's a funny guy." So I am glad she has a fun memory. She also saw Uncle Brad who she hasn't seen in a year! She keeps telling me that Uncle Brad gave her a shirt (which I mentioned to her about 6 months ago!) She has a great little memory!
