The Empire Strikes Back And Throws A Party

We've been so busy lately that I haven't had a moment to work on photos (with digital photography I have hundreds and hundreds of photos to edit and with two children, well- maybe 20 percent gets done) So here are a few photos from Maya's Fourth Birthday Party!! What a crazy trip to have her turn four. She's obsessed with Star Wars and so her theme was Star Wars with an Empire Strikes Back cake (toy guys were generously given to us by Max...she loves these things!! And they're collectible now!!) Being the hostess, I didn't get to take as many photos as I'd have liked...boo. But I did use pinterest to come up with the party food and favor ideas. Yoda Soda, Thermal Detonators, and light sabers made out of pool noodles. It was a good time. I had planned to have the party outside, but it was hot that day and our little living room ended up being cramped with grandmas, grandpas, and great grandmas and grandpas, cousins, friends....and about five million presents.

Tiny Dancer

Maya finished her eight week dance class and we got to go in and see what they've been working on. Of course, all those people staring at you (including Grandpa Mal and Grandma Paula) makes Maya embarrassed so, here's a few of her best embarrassed faces while dancing. Rowie loves our porch swing, he points to it and says "Again?" whenever he gets out of the car. Maya's next dance class (and a dance camp this summer) doesn't start until June...until then, we're looking for a swimming class.

Back In Business


Pictures from our attempt to see the St. Patrick's Day Parade.

What Rowie is thinking, "That's my car yo, that's my car."


Ya'll have Shauna to thank for this. And Google Chrome. Together, they fixed my funky computer and I can post pictures again. And it feels like victory. Feels good.

untitled ghost post

No idea how this originally posted itself. It seems our laptop has a funk going on. Not a stinky funk, just a "what the funk?"

You see, the laptop won't let you open anything unless you can use a "copy shortcut" sort of thing. And blogger is a booger and won't let me upload any pictures because of the laptops funk. It's annoyingly dumb. Kyle just shrugs and says "I dunno." And I keep trying and trying which is how the ghost post came about.

Just know that my babies are amazing and gorgeous. Rowie is our sweetie pie, trying to skip crawling (he tries to stand while in crawling position), getting a toofer (finally), and almost waves bye bye. He is a cuddle bug and his smile melts my heart.

Maya....is three. And cries constantly to try and get what she wants. She has fierce determination and doesn't seem to realize that it doesn't work. She's so flippin stubborn...I can't wait for thirteen. So stubborn that she won't sit on the potty, and her daddy isn't riding her on the issue hard enough when mommy's at work. GRRR!!



She sings "A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,F,G,H,I,J,K,..ETC", she has a loop that skips R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z even though she knows them. She knows Tangled by heart and tells her daddy "talk like Flynn Rider" and then recites every single line perfectly. She loves Scooby Doo and Curious George ("Daddy, talk like Shaggy") and has new friends in the neighborhood. Savannah lives across the street and apparently, according to her, is Rowie's girlfriend. She's five and comes over to play a lot. Callie lives next door and is three, not as mature as Maya, but they hug and play outside.

Maya's three year well child appointment was of course fine. She's above average in height and just average in weight. She freaked out about the shot. That was not fun. Summer plans include: Dieter Family in Vail (finally one in Vail!!), and then in August we're going to make the long,and possibly horrible, trip to Nashville for Cody and Alicia's 10th wedding anniversary party. Two babies in the car for ten hours YEAAHHHH!! I think a 4 AM "wake up and go" call is in the works.

I will endeavor to make this laptop work and put some pictures on here!!

Until then.....

Arrivederci.
