Mr. ESPN's National Holiday

Today is Mr. ESPN's National Holiday - aka Birthday!  To celebrate I made him a golf ball cake.  This was practice for Chatty's soccer ball cake (per Mr. ESPN's suggestion).  Let's just say I was so worn out making the dimples on the ball that my writing was a little off centered.  Good thing Mr. ESPN isn't picky!  To celebrate Mr. ESPN wants to eat out at a restaurant that had multiple televisions to watch the NCAA basketball tournament ... the man has his priorities!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR. ESPN - WE LOVE YOU!!!

Here are some pictures of his "golf ball" cake

Parties and More Parties

Last weekend we went to two neighborhood birthday parties.  First off was Baby B's 1st birthday.

Chatty, Bia and our other neighbor checking out the loot!

Bia decided to taste the bubbles too

Bia got a haircut that morning ..

The following evening we went to our other neighbor N to celebrate her 4th birthday.  She really wanted a princess cake so I volunteered to make a doll cake for her.  It was supposed to be Cinderella (was a Cinderella doll) but my blue wasn't quite the right shade.  N loved it though!

Got Milk?

Kindergarten Fun Day

On Friday Chatty had Kindergarten Fun Day aka Field Day.  They have several different events, all of which Chatty loved.  It was perfect Spring weather in the desert.

Roller Relay on the basketball court

You can see from her smile she loved this event!

An interesting note - the boy in the bottom corner of the last picture told me that Chatty likes to chase him on the playground and give him hugs!  Not sure what that was all about.  At first Chatty denied it when I asked her about it, but she did finally admit it!  Not looking forward to those teenage years!

Weekend Fun

Both of the girls had birthdays parties to attend this past week.  For Bia it was her best little "boy" friend.  They painted bird houses and other stuff and played outside.  It was a beautiful day for a party.

Are you still there??

I am not sure what happened, but it has been over three weeks since I last posted.  Nothing major going on, just the regular craziness that is our lives ... work, school, church, soccer, gym, etc.  It seems like it is never ending around here.  In fact the girls are screaming at each other right now ... after playing so well together for a few hours.  I guess that is to be expected.  Below are some pictures to tide you over until we have something more exciting to post about (which may or may not happen anytime soon!)! 

Dancing At Our House

The other day we put some music on that the girls loved ... they started dancing (moving wildly) around the house ... here are a few shots. Maybe next time I will get it on video ...

Have a great weekend!
