My Best Friend had an Engagement Dinner at a friends house in Newport. Chris and I had a blast. We got a reason to dress up, a night away from the kiddos, to meet new people, celebrate the love of Alicia and David and dine on some amazing catered Italian food in a beautiful house.

Some kids wanted to decorate a cookie for Mimi; so we took a plate to her house!







My kids aren't in school yet, so St. Patrick's Day felt like any normal day for us. But, I wanted to make it special... so we invited all the cousins over to decorate Sugar cookies with frosting and sprinkles. IT WAS A BLAST!

JUST BECAUSE...SHE'S SO CUTE!
















On Alexa's Birthday I was taking pictures and Brielyn was just capturing my heart. I couldn't stop taking pictures of her. It turned into a mini photo shoot. She was posing and making faces I couldn't resist. So, here's to you Brielyn!

Alexa's 4 Day Birthday Celebration!!!!

Alexa turned 3 on February 28th! She ended up having a blast. It started off on Friday with the PLAYDATE GROUP CELEBRATION. We had a normal outside fun playdate with a special treat.... DONUTS FOR EVERYONE! It was a blast, Brielyn ran around the rest of the time picking up leftovers and eating them. Alexa had fun and felt special with all of her playdate friends. Kayden had an UNBELIEVABLE time with WATER! We also had some newcomers.

Saturday was the family party. My mom and her boyfriend, The Boultons, The Glonchaks, Gpa and Gma Hoff as well as the Great Grandparents, The Bambricks (they have no choice but to be part of my family;) and The Garza's (neighbors across the street) all came over for Alexa's HELLO KITTY PARTY. The BOUNCE HOUSE arrived at 10AM and my kids were JUMPIN' ALL DAY LONG!!! We had pizza, flower pb& j sandwiches, chips and dip, white and milk chocolate flowers, hello kitty homemade red velvet cupcakes with homemade cream cheese frosting and kitty food (cocoa puffs drizzled with white chocolate and powdered sugar). The kids had a blast and Alexa gave out hello kitty pez as thank you's along with color coordinated M&M's . THANKS TO EVERYONE THAT CAME AND FOR MAKING HER DAY SPECIAL!

Sunday was Chuck E Cheese Birthday Celebration with...Papa Dan & his girlfriend, Uncle Dale, Aunt Wendy, Dale Jr. and Daniel. We ate lots of pizza, played lots of games, got lots of junk (that I could've bought for 99cents) Alexa got some more presents and had a lot of fun. It's fun to be a kid again. ALEXA WILL NEVER FORGET HER BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION AT CHUCK E CHEESE!

Monday was a special day. Papa Dan and his girlfriend took Alexa to Sea World for a special trip. She was in heaven with her favorite SHAMU, SHAMU! She enjoyed the day full of fish, whales, dolphins and especially liked the 'PETS' show that they had. She got to pet a pig. She came home with souvenir cups and a Shamu lunch pail along with a BIG SMILE!!! and lots of stories. THANK YOU PAPA FOR A GREAT TIME, WE LOVE YOU!


Soo, in conclusion, I'm exhausted even recapping that week. Some pictures may be late to post. I'm still recovering but I wouldn't change it for the world. It was beautiful to celebrate my Alexa who has been a HUGE BLESSING TO ME! She's such a big girl now and I love her ability to be a good friend, love her sister, have an interest in learning about Jesus and the Bible, loving her Daddy and BEING A PRINCESS.
