Silly Girl :)

Just found some older webcam pictures on my computer and wanted to share :)

Love this kid :)

We're going to a party!

A birthday party :D

(ahh, I'm finally catching up on my posts! Seriously loving that I can back-date things!)

We spent most of the afternoon running around getting birthday cakes, last minute hair cuts, a failed attempt at getting balloons, etc! Finally, we made it to Chuck E Cheese, where I... completely forgot to take pictures of the kids. (I did get one of AJ) Whoops!

My sister did get a couple of pictures of the kids in the car, on the way to the party, dressed to the nines :D 

 Mr. bow tie :) So handsome.

 I can't get over how beautiful she is. :) 

After Chuck E cheese,
we went home to eat cake and hit the pinata!

&... their big present!

A Cadillac Escalate power wheels :)!!
 which Audrey loves, and Noah is completely terrified of.

 

He was exhausted after his long day partying :) 

Can I just say how happy I am to be done with all this craziness? Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and two birthdays back to back. The next few months will be a nice break, especially on the pocketbook :P -phew!-

<3

Love these babies, & all the people who celebrated their special day with us.

My Birthday Boy :)

Woooo. Excuse the no make up face of mine! 

Happy, happy birthday my handsome boy!  

Every year(& day for that matter) I ask where the time has gone. How did you become 2? I'm not ready! Don't you get it? I need this all to just slow way, WAY down.

I remember the 'tank' that sat in the level 3 NICU. Those days seem like yesterday. Now, you're 'big' (Although still on the small side for your age!). You talk SO much. You love to read, sleep, and bug your sister. You're a very polite little boy- always saying thank you, your welcome, please, and sorry even when it's not your fault- and you don't even have to be asked. You're the only boy but you fit into our little family so, so perfectly. 

(and here I go bawling again, I'm a mess of emotions lately, haha!)

Thanks for being my little man. I love you.

3. See Grandma's Grave

You can really see the blurry spot on my camera now. There are a few but the most obvious is the one on the right where my grandpas name is. Ugh! It's really time to get a new camera!

How come I can never get a cute picture of BOTH my kids at the same time? I love Noie in the first picture, and I love AJ looking down at the grave in the second picture. Oh well. I'm just glad we got a picture of em' by her grave. Who knows how long it will be until we visit again.

I ALMOST completed my to-do list. Did everything I wanted to do except see my nail lady. I can assure you, my nails look completely horrendous at the moment. I'm considering taking the rest of em' off and giving my nails a break for a while, cos' my natural nails are so weak at the moment. We'll see.
 (I have so many posts to catch up on! Slowly but surely!)

Last Day

I dreaded this day for weeks now. I hate goodbyes. I hate that I'm leaving the babies I've watched for so long. Especially my Chey :) I completely adore her, she is the sweetest little thing. MY kids are gonna miss them too. :( As soon as the kids left, I started bawling! & then Torey wrote me a letter and I cried again! I know leaving is the right thing to do for myself and my babies, but why does it have to be so hard? I hate it! I'm going to miss all the chaos during the day, all the laughter, my kids having friends to play with.

I took some picture of them on the last day. :) 

Poor Cade keeps smacking his head on a table at home, he had stitches in this picture! He's saying 'CHEESE!'. Aww! I can never get Chey to smile for pictures! I can get her to laugh and giggle right before, and as soon as I try to take the picture she puts on her serious face! So her mom told me to ask her to show me her teeth and I got this!

haha! I smile every time I see this picture. How freakin' cute is she? I love her!

I wish I would of gotten picture of all the kids together on the last day, but by the time I thought of it, my kids we're down for naps. :(

I miss them :(

My Beautiful Baby Girl

You aren't a baby anymore, are ya? You're my big brave girl. I don't know where the time has gone, seems like only moments ago you we're cradled in my arms just as tiny as could be. And now here we are, four years later- You've already decided you're 'too cool' for me, you're totally smart and sassy all in one, and obviously so very beautiful. I seriously can't take it! You're my world, please don't grow up too fast. Thank you for making me a mama. 

Happy Birthday my beautiful big girl.
I love you to the moon and back again.

rofl, they're totally making the same face:P

Went earlier in the week without Noah, so we decided to go again :) It was a blast, as always! Too bad they didn't have something this adorable when I was a kid. I would of loved this. I wish I could of taken more pictures but I need a new camera! The one I currently have works alright but it has a.. fuzzy spot? IDK if you guys can see it, but I can!
