Party like a Rock Star!

Gabby wanted a rock star party this year, so we did our best. The celebrities/guests all got to walk up the star studded entry and onto the red carpet, where they were greeted by the paparazzi.Instead of birthday cake, they got to decorate their own star-shaped cookies (P.S. Kids + sprinkles= empty bottles of sprinkles, my apologies to their mothers). They played dress up games and chased the paparazzi aka Robert and danced and sang to plenty of Justin Beiber songs.

Thanks to all of Gabby's Rock Star friends who made it a fun and special day for her!

Gabby's 5th Birthday

Gabby had been waiting for her 5th birthday ever since Carter's birthday, way back in January for one reason...she wanted breakfast in bed just like Carter had. So her big day finally came and she got her breakfast of choice, Fruit and Maple Oatmeal with toast. Unfortunately, she could barely touch it and looks a little green in this picture. Poor girl, right after she got to school she barfed and had to come home. She ended up sleeping the day away and woke up just as the bus came to drop the kids off (in the middle of a hail storm!) She woke up feeling much better and was soooo excited to try out her new...
bike, complete with a bell, streamers and baby seat for her dolls. The girls had fun riding in the cool weather and if you look closely, you can see their hair standing up from the electricity in the air. (Carter insisted on riding through the gutters and splashing the muddy water all over herself, it was fun though) So, even though the day got off to a rocky start, it ended up being a good day afterall. Happy Birthday Gabby. 5 years old! Wow!

Here's some of her favorites right now:


Color: Gold
Food: Spaghetti
Movie: Gnomeo and Juliet
Animal: Giraffe and Bunny and Cat and Dog
Treat: Cake
Thing about school: Her teacher
Song: The Tangled Song

Nate as of Late

Nate is just a funny boy. Here's a few of his latest quirks...

-He thinks a giant lives in our entry way by the front door. He will run away screaming sometimes but he claims it is a nice giant who likes macaroni and cheese.

-He thinks hiccups are so funny and he hates hangnails.

-After he drinks a big glass of water he will say, "Woah, I a thirsty guy!"

-He loves the ABC's. LOVES them!

-During the girls' soccer practices and games he will yell, "No hands!"

-If he sees a picture of himself he will comment on how handsome or awesome he is.

-He sings this song so much that I had to record it and put it up here...
