New Short do and ears pierced

Last week I decided to take my baby girl in to get her hair cut short, TaDa!! We where shopping at the Tacoma mall on Memorial Day and we walked passed Piercing Pagoda and Jon whispers to me, "Should we get her ears pierced"? I said sure. I think Daddy was more excited than Mommy.

No earrings

Earrings! and pink stones of course :)
She was brave and didn't even cry!

OBSESSED

Okay Okay we all know I really don't need anymore shoes, but the hubs said okay and I said Whoo Hoo!!!! Aren't they cute!!!

It's Official

It's official our 4yr old can ride her bike with no training wheels!! You go Tay!

Our first family Hike

When I arrived home from my excursion in Downtown Seattle on Monday Jon said let's take the kids and go to Snoqualmie Falls for a hike. I said okay let's go. He is on vacation this week and we wanted to do something fun with them. The weather actually cooperated and I was able to take some amazing pictures.

I loved this void in the forest so I had them all get together for the picture.

Oh my goodness I am actually in a shot! amazing.

and the self Family portrait with the Falls in the Background.

Bubba and I posing together.

As we started back up the hill we got to the top and I noticed on the stairs that there were words: roaring, pouring, plunging and

rolling. I thought that was pretty neat. The kids had a great time and for the most part didn't even complain.

Downtown with the Girls

A bunch of us girls get together (when we can) and explore the cupcake shops in the area. Our goal today was to eat lunch at Dick's and then head to The Yellow Leaf Cupcake Co.
We ate lunch first and then took the Monorail to Westlake.

Couldn't pass this one up! Girl you crack me up!

We did some shopping and then walked from Westlake to the Cupcake place which in my opinion was FABULOUS! I had a Red Velvet and a Strawberry Lemon Pound cake and they where divine!

Here are the ones I purchased.

On our walk back to the car Ellen and I decided to be silly! Ughhh my chin rolls LOL

Then I had Christina take my model pose in front of the Space Needle. Watch out world Hot Mama ;)

It was a fabulous day to spend with all these girls and the best part NO KIDS :)

Worker Guy

Bubba came upstairs while Jon was grading papers and said, "I'm a worker guy!" Man I sure do love him :)

Serious Worker guy face

Surprise

On Saturday my hubby pulled off a surprise for our Anniversary and took me to the Melting Pot and bought me two dozen roses! He is the greatest! Happy 8yr Anniversary babe and many more to come.

Princess Dress up Tea Party

I told Tay she could have a Birthday party with her friends and she gave me the names. Two girls from our neighborhood and three girls from church. Here they are including my boys playing in her room.

Patiently waiting for the goodies to begin. I tried to convince my oldest to get dressed up and serve the food but to no avail he wasn't interested.

I tried to find little a little tea set for the party and didn't so I used my glass cups from my punch bowl set (I know brave woman). On the menu we had Ritz crackers with round cheese and bologna, pink marshmallows, pink cotton candy, crescent roll rounds with cool whip and pink sprinkles on top!! I think I had more fun then the girls!!

I made cupcakes from the Family Fun magazine that turned out super cute with crowns on the top of them.

and then biting into her cupcake.

After that we opened presents. Here are all the girls. Thanks to everyone who came and for the presents she LOVES them.

Tay's Birthday

Today my precious Tay turns 4!!! and I asked her where she wanted to go for her Birthday and she said, "McDonald's!" Ughh just where I want to take grandparents to. So I worked my magic and convinced her that for lunch we would go to McDonald's and for Dinner we would go to Old Country Buffet because they have so many desserts etc... She bought it. My Mom and Step-Dad game out as well as Jon's parents. Here is my Mom with her new Ipad the kids where enthralled.

Jon's parents with the grand kids.

Grandpa and Bubba Man.

We opened presents when she got home and had cake and ice cream. She was super excited to get The Princess and the Frog DVD.

I made her just a lil cake with the batter I had leftover from baking the cupcakes for her Princess Dress up Tea Party for tomorrow.

Time sure does fly! It seems like yesterday I brought this bundle home from the hospital with a dark head of hair and now

I have a long blond haired energetic drama queen who I love to pieces.

Funny cute pics of my Kids

My kids are special need I say more ;)

Mariner's game with the kids

Taking the kids to the M's game we couldn't have had better weather. The roof was open the sun was shining and all and all a good time(even if they did lose :(
The kids were so excited to watch the players come onto the field and J kept trying to yell at them too funny.

Tay doesn't look to happy, but when is she! She's female need I say more!

I just love this pic!

We brought our own food for dinner but decided to get some garlic fries to share with the kids. Bubba was liking them sorta but trying to shake the garlic off

and notice how much garlic is in the tray!! My goodness I think we paid for garlic and very few fries.

Tay liked them too. J in the background deciding

not to eat any.

Since Daddy bought garlic fries to share Mommy had to buy cotton candy Mmmmm! One of my favorites.

Cotton Candied mouth kids.

During the seventh inning we went downstairs to get the family picture with the moose but Bubba wasn't haven't it so I told him it was kinda like a raccoon LOL LOL LOL!

And Bubba looking like no way I am standing by you buddy!

J wanted a picture with him and I. I sure do love this spirited child.

Daddy and Tay

We were bored towards the end of the night so J and I and

Bubba made silly faces!!

They did end up losing 8-0 but we stayed for thew whole thing and cheered them on and the best part besides being with my family was Jon getting his five Bobble heads need I say more
