It's Dena's birthday and we want to give her a shout out to tell her Happy Birthday! Dena is always willing to help everyone out and is the #1 babysitter to Bridget! She is also our personal blog designer! She always updates our blog with cool backgrounds and headers. She is so creative and is always making new things. She is a wonderful mom, wife, sister, daughter, and friend. We love you, Dena! Just don't ask her to carry the birthday cake!OK, we know it's been awhile (again). But you all know what that means...we've been babysitting! We had Lincoln for two nights...Can you say no sleep? Now I know why I am not married with kids. He woke up EVERY SINGLE HOUR!!! But then he would look at us and smile and we would melt! He was SO good in the day though and we DID survive.
Ayla kept sitting in between the legs of our high chairs. Then she would look at us and smile.
This boy LOVES to eat chocolate!
Ayla loves to watch The Wiggles in her very own chair!
Check out this cutie! He has on a new outfit, including boots and "Newsies" hat!
This is Ayla's new picture face! She is in her new outfit and hat too.
Ayla thought she was a supermodel in this dress. She is doing her picture face again!
We got an award! Sherry gave us a VERY prestigious award for our VERY wonderful blog (ha ha). So here are the rules. 1. The winner can put the logo on their blog. 2. Link to the person you received your award from. 3. Nominate at least 7 other blogs. 4. Put links of those blogs on yours. 5. Leave a message on the blogs you've nominated. 6. Write an acceptance speech in the style of the Academy Awards, thanking every body’s mother, father, sister, brother, aunties and uncles and the kitchen staff at your favorite restaurant!
We would like to thank our family. Without them we would have nothing to post on our blog! Our friends, for also giving us good stuff for the blog. We would like to thank our hairdresser for giving the best haircuts so we look so cute in our pics. Thank you to Disneyland for providing the perfect backdrop to some of our pics. Thanks to the dr's office for taking a chance on some unknown kids. Thank you all very much for your love and support! Here is who we nominate...
Dena and Mike- They always post the cutest pics of the cutest nephew ever!
Julie and Bret- They always post the cutest pics of the cutest niece ever!
Jaimee and Eric- We had not seen or talked to Jaimee in quite a while, but since she got her blog going we keep in touch. She was Marcie's friend growing up. They have some great stories!
Janel and Mark- Janel was also Marcie's friend growing up and we lost track of her. Now we all keep in touch.
Sommer and Steve- Sommer was our friend growing up and then she had to move out of state. We love hearing about all the things that keep her and her fam busy. (believe us there is a lot).
Sheleen and Sterling- Sheleen is our aunt and we LOVE her! We love doing fun stuff with her and bloody giggling about every bloody thing! And that is her real body in all her pictures!
Shanna and Bobby- Shanna is our other fun aunt! Her blog always looks way cute and she ROCKS about putting comments on any one's blog!
OK. The fam has been getting mad at me because I haven't updated my blog about my b-day yet. Don't get me wrong, I love updating the blog, especially when it's all about me, but now I've gotten so far behind that I am overwhelmed. I am trying to make this as short as possible, but I must warn you-we had a VERY eventful b-day month. I may not be able to post EVERYTHING that I want to, or I may have to do another post later. (Sherry- our acceptance speech for our blog award will be the next post! Everyone check out the link to Sherry's blog on the side because she gave us an award!!)
We had to start celebrating early because my parents were going out of town on my b-day. We went to Charleston's for dinner, then came home to open my presents (yeah!) and have cake (thanks Taia!). Here we are eating.
We went to lunch the next day with some girls at work. Tons of fun!
I got flowers from everyone at work :)
Julie and Ayla came in and we went to lunch on my b-day. Mareen came too!
Ayla brought me this balloon (but Marcie really bought it). I loved it! Anything that lets EVERYONE know it's my b-day is good. Later, Dena and Lincoln surprised me at work with a QT pop and a Kit Kat.
The next week we went to Disneyland for my b-day. It was me, Marcie, Dena, and Chelsea. Shanda was supposed to come but she hurt her back. We missed her! We had SOOOO much fun. We were CRAZY!! We laughed at EVERYTHING and I think scared some people. I got a birthday pin (the worker put I was 21 yrs old on it) and everyone told me Happy Birthday. We met a new friend, Kodak, and almost got in a fight in line (I promise it was NOT our fault!) Sadly, we came home that night. I loved every minute of it though!
Mrs Incredible told us how to stand. She even gave me a birthday kiss.
The new Toy Story ride was great! One of our faves! BTW, I got the high score in our group!
Haunted Mansion! Chelsea hasn't been on this ride in YEARS! You know it!
Jungle Cruise!
Running from the ball in Indiana Jones.
Thanks everyone for making my birthday one of the best ever! I LOVED everything!
