St. Patrick's Day



... So we are not of Irish decent, but we always need a reason for a party and St. Patrick's Day is no exception! Tonight we had a dinner full of green! We had shamrock cookies, mint brownies, Irish sweet bread, green popcorn, and of course green popsicles (or pop suckers as Viv calls them). We always have a great time together! I love my family!

Evan!!




This is late getting posted, but exciting nonetheless!!! My cousin Evan is here! He is so cute and I am so excited I got to see him just after he was born. It was definitely rushed since he decided to come a little earlier than his scheduled arrival date, but we are all so excited for him to be here! Welcome to the family Evan, I love you!

18 months


18 months, really? Yes really, Vivie is 18 months old! She has grown so much (mentally rather than physically I guess). She is now 21 pounds and 31 inches long, much the same as her 1 year visit, but she has changed a lot. She is talking like crazy. She repeats everything you say, even the stuff you don't want her to. She can do almost every animal sound I can think of and she learns more every day!! She loves to sing. she knows songs that I don't even know she knows, but she will suddenly burst out in them. She sings pretty much all of the disney theme songs, but I love the Hot Dog song the most. She Loves Nikki Minaj. Superbass is her very favorite song to sing and she will watch the music video like it is going out of style. It is really cute. The other day she was watching tv in my bed while I got ready and she said to me "Bye mom have a good bath!" I laughed all morning. She can say most things, she communicates really well. I love it when she says thing like "I'll miss you" and "Have a good day". She loves "Aggie" so much she asks for her constantly. I can't believe how big she has gotten! Even as we speak she is holding my camera telling me to "smile" and coutning down (1,2,5).

My Birthday


I am so lucky to have a wonderful family!! I had a great birthday spending time with all of them. My Mom and Abbie worked so hard on my party and it turned out so cute!!! It had everything I wanted! We had soup from Kneader's, curtis bakery cake, and chocolate covered oreos. We even got to have it outside. The clouds parted right in time to eat and it was perfect. I had so much fun! Thanks Guys!!

Christmas 2011











I have always loved Christmas, but now that I have Vivie it is just the best!!! This was the first year she understood anything about it and she had super fun. She loved handing out the presents more than she loved opening them. Her two favorite gifts came from Santa, she loved her shoes and a really cute club chair to keep at Papa and Guhguh's house to sit in. My dad has started a tradition where he gives us each a little something from Tiffany's and it has become one of our favorite things. This year I was shocked to see that Viv was included!! Her necklace is sooo cute, and she loves wearing it. I will never forget it!
