Celebration continued.

Celebrating Little A and CJ's birthday again at our monthly birthday party with James' family. The kids loved the cakes made for them by their Aunt Kara. CJ was funny and covered his eyes when we all sang him happy birthday. He's starting to show little signs of shyness when the attention is on him and thinks he can make it all better by covering his eyes. Silly boy! :)

Happy birthday CJ!

The beginning of June is busy with 2 birthday's within a day of each other. Celebrations started at the BBQ over Memorial Day weekend. CJ loved his birthday cake with a car on it. I enlisted James to make his race car from this tutorial. We make a good team :) CJ decided the whole birthday thing is pretty fun. He loved opening presents and blowing out the candles on his cake. We were lacking toy cars at our house so he got loaded up! All kinds of cars. Thanks fam! He loves them all. The candle for his cake was a sparkler. He was all excited to blow it out. We lit it, and then he got scared and started backing away from it. Too funny!

We saved his cake for his actual birthday and sang to him again. Grandma and Grandpa joined us for dinner, cake and presents.
Favorite food: watermelon
Favorite candy: all candy

Happy birthday CJ!

Little A turns 5!

Beginning of June Little A had her 5th birthday. First the birthday celebrations started during Memorial Day weekend with a combined party for Izzie, CJ and Little A. We had a yummy BBQ at at her Uncle Eric and Aunt Jamie's house which included grilled jumbo prawns, grilled veggies, grilled pineapple, grilled salmon and of course cake and lemon cupcakes for dessert. Nana, Papa, Eric, Jamie, Aimee, Izzie, Elliott, Nate, and Jamie were all there to celebrate!

Turning 5 in our house is a big deal so she was able to have her first "friend" party! She was SO excited for it. She chose to have her party at Young Chef Academy where they all learned how to measure things and make and decorate their own cupcakes.
Favorite birthday present: Princess beads to make her own necklaces (thanks Grandma!)
Favorite color: pink
Favorite food: pizza
Favorite restaurant: McDonald's
What she wants to be when she grows up: artist
Birthday breakfast: cinnamon rolls with scrambled eggs & orange juice
Birthday dinner: pizza & root beer
Little A is our spunky little girl who is SO excited to start Kindergarten in the fall. She adores her older sister and is enjoying having someone to play with for the summer. She loves to cuddle, organize, help with things around the house and bake. Happy birthday Little A!

Twinkle Twinkle

So I took a little break from blogging, but I'm back! :) Now that I have a little time this week I'll post some things. This one is great of our little CJ singing twinkle twinkle. If you can't understand him at the end of it he says "lots and lots of water" because we passed the river. That kid cracks me up. Enjoy!

Bed

CJ's new place to sleep. Maybe it's time to get him a real bed. :)

Happy Easter!

Recently we traveled to Spokane to see my twin & her family. She surprised us all with new Easter outfits for the kids. Of course we had to have a photo shoot. Thanks Ame. They are adorable! :)

Finger lickin good!

If you haven't noticed, we live for food in this house. We like to teach them young that the only thing better than cookies, is the cookie dough! It's a battle of who gets to lick the beater. Usually Mom wins. :)
