Lily's Birthday Party!

Lily had a great time at John's Pizza to celebrate her 5th birthday! She was happy to invite a few friends and to be surrounded by family.When we got there the kids danced for tickets and they had fun picking them up!Yummy pizza.Luana and LilyLily and Cooper had so much fun together.Lily loved all her presents...Thanks to everyone!Tara and JaimeKatie being her "goofy" self :)What were these two thinking...No wonder they pass around colds!!!So CUTE! Jolene took my camera and made good use of it!Lily with Austin and CooperTaylor, Izzy and KaylieChad and I were so happy we didn't have to clean up!Taylor...the wonderful babysitter! People will be fighting over her to babysit when she turns 12! :)Lily picked a Hannah Montana cake (realized later...so did Carrie). Very popular I guess!Chris and Jen. Thanks for coming guys :)Some bear with my daughter..Creepy! (do you ever wonder who is wearing these costumes?) Don't know why that bothers me so bad. It shouldn't...I got stuck wearing a Clifford costume at Izzy's preschool one year. One little girl wouldn't leave me alone! I don't know how people do that all the time!More dancing.Peek-a-boo!

I see you!

Easter Fun!

Cleo in her chair again wondering...What the heck are we doing now? Dying eggs of course!
I gave Cleo whatever I could to keep her busy so that the girls could dye eggs. What baby doesn't like paper? Her expression on her face says it all!
So happy it's Easter time again. We all love this time of year! My kids are crazy but they are mine and I love them :)
Still keeping Cleo entertained!
She was loving the crayon...probably wasn't the best thing to give her!
Yay! All done!
The girls told me it's okay to do bunny ears because it's Easter! How can you argue with that!
Baskets filled with stuff from the Easter Bunny :)
Cleo's first Easter Basket...sorry Cleo, no candy this year for you!
The girls wrote a letter to the Easter Bunny on a Hello Kitty poster that came in a egg dying kit. The lovely Bunny wrote a note back on the poster. How nice!
Cleo finally woke up and loved her new doggy. After church I took these pictures. They all had cute gold shoes on but they were tossed as soon as they walked in the front door. I didn't care at that point!
And the photo shoot is done! Woo Hoo...they did great! Hope you all had a wonderful Easter :)

Easy Bake with Lily!

Lily decided that on her birthday she wanted to bake cookies in her Easy Bake oven. I agreed since we don't use it very often and after all it is her birthday! So I dusted it off and they baked away ;)Izzy, Lily and Katie waiting for that special sugar cookie that takes forever to bake so I had some in my oven at the same time. Otherwise we would be baking all night long :)My sweet girls.Finally the sugar cookie was done and Lily was ready to be sung to! Happy Birthday Lily!!! Lily didn't want frosting...what 5 year old doesn't want frosting on their cookie?
Love, love, love that smile :)
Lily with her daddy! Ahhhh...Cleo was so cute until we took her out of her seat and found poop up her back!...it was so gross even for Chad and I!
So this is what little Cleo got...a nice warm bath! What a cutie! (sorry for showing her bum...I couldn't help myself)
