Someone in my house turned another year older this past week.....we won't name any names though..... =)

......and because some people just deserve TWO birthday cakes.....lol

the birthday girl

I can't believe it. April 30, 2011 we celebrated Gena Grace's ONE YEAR birthday. It hardly seems possible. Where did the year go? We had a family celebration with her at our house Sat evening. Gena stole the show. as usual :-)

I just love this little girl! She'll capture your heart in no time!

"I don't like this thing on my head mommy!!!!"

"mmmmm.......frosting & cake! that's what i'm talkin about!!!!" lol

All cleaned up and chillin with Uncle Gerald.

"I'm pooped"

All this partying wore this birthday girl out!!! Time for bed!!!

Sis turns Six!

November 8, 2004 I became a mommy! I was blessed beyond measure and was ecstatic in my newest adventure that lay ahead! Now, 6 years later, we celebrate my little girls sixth birthday! Wow! Time flies!!! She started kindergarten this year - unbelievable! We celebrated with her all weekend. We had 10 of her friends join us for a bowling party Saturday night, and family over on Sunday after church for cake, then she celebrated at school on Monday (on her actual bday) and is now bringing chocolate cupcakes to Daisies tonight to church. Shew!

Bubba bowling.........the gangs all here :)

All her friends, from school and church, and her cousins :)

"the boys" :)

Couldn't resist taking this pic.....he looked all handsome :)

A few more pics to follow.........

In the meantime, I'm contemplating getting rid of my blog...........do I have any readers out there? Thoughts?

Happy Birthday to me!

I just love birthdays! Whether it's mine, Jeremy's, one of the kids', or a friend! Birthdays are fun! (never mind the whole 'getting older' part.....) Well yesterday was my birthday! Check out my gift........


Jer spoiled me with a ring and necklace (with all 3 of the kids' birthstones in it) and 30 beautiful roses, home made cards from the kids, a picture frame with all 3 kids' pictures in it, and dinner out at my favorite Italian place, Zio's! Plus, he asked his sister if she could watch Bubby today, and he gave me the "day off" today too! oh, and wrapped up some trail mix (my latest obsession!) for me to munch on today :-)

It has been a wonderful birthday. I am truly blessed and have such a great husband and kiddos. Maybe my 30's won't be so bad after all........ ;-)
