February Birthday

lots of february birthdays- ciel & simeon on the 7th- elsa the 10th & kaleb the 11th



eliz ordered some beautiful- yummy cupcakes from her friend lesleigh





my proud- soon to be 11 year old







elsa didn't know exactly how to blow out her candle on her cake-so we lit it for her to try again & she burnt her fingers-we are such lame parents- she recovered quickly after she had a taste of the sugary yum



elsa just kind of played with her peice- simeon dug into his and ciel was super dainty with hers







it's a tradition in some countries to put some items on a plate that symbolize what your child will become in the future- then you have the child crawl over to pick out what he/she will be. we thought it would be fun to do this with the babies. this way we could tell them what they'll be when they grow up so they don't have to ever worry about it... for example- thermometer = doctor, cash= business man, paint brush= artist- etc. elsa picked the pen which = writer -as long as she doesn't take after her mom, she should be good



all the babies loved this toy- except that they kind of hit each other instead of the balls



elsa loves touching my hair when she's drinking her bottle or anyones hair anytime, so we thought she might like a doll that has hair- adam doesn't like a lot of the baby names that i love (i have a really long list) so i've resigned to naming elsa's dolls those names- this ones hazel



ciel also got a doll- i secretly named her esmae

jen made this adorable doll for elsa- her name's ramona





the bongos were elsa's favorite gift

this was k's favorite gift- he's wanted a nano for a few years now- we finally gave in

Sooo Good

my friend amy found this video on you tube- this may answer your questions to why some herterals dance ballet

Vanilla Pie Up & Running

i finally put my baby brand vanilla pie on etsy. i'm still working on listing a few more items & i'll probably be making little summer outfits now & then putting them on there this summer. once future baby comes i can't imagine i'll be by my sewing machine too often. how do people do anything with 2 little ones. with the age difference in kaleb & elsa it's not too hard. my anxiety grows just as much as my excitement so you can imagine how big that is...

Cub Scout No More

my little man is now a boy scout and soon to be 11- i can't believe how time flies. i wonder when he'll become a man scout...

4 Babies & A Camera = Ugh!

well we will never be able to start a kiddi photo business. it was nearly impossible to get all 4 babies to look at the camera at the same time. ciel definitely takes after her moms, looks adorable in every shot

 

 

 

 

 

 

Future Baby's A Girl!

we're pretty excited about having another girl- i think it will be pretty fun for elsa- kaleb was hoping for a boy but is still excited about another sister. plus he won't ever have to share his room...




this is her hand giving a peace sign

Ahh Getting Away From The Snow

we got away to spring break city- as cheesy as people make cancun- it was pretty rad





elsa loved the beach- she especially loved eating the rocks- shells & sand...





adam running away with some other chick- she let's him wear what he wants



we went to chichen- itza to check out the ruins one cloudy day. you weren't aloud to go up the pyramids anymore- (maybe due to a few too many deaths) so that kind of sucked. we used all of our pesos to take the toll road realizing we were out of gas half way there. finding a bank in a really small mexico town was not easy. we were a little worried after driving around one way streets trying to get to a part of town that looked like a bank would exist. after a super nervous half hour we finally found one- along with some beautiful dresses made by some wonderfully talented little ladies



yes that's future baby belly

Yes- We're Related To Benton Paul

my brother In-law the rock star- got a shout out from one of the most popular bands in the world. the jonas brothers. listen for it about 2 minutes in- can't wait till he's on cribs
