Sorry I've been away... Update

Wow, we've been really busy these past few weeks.  Deric's 1st visit to Peter Piper Pizza as a toddler.

Play Dates w/cousins Breanna & Viney

My niece Breanna's 5th Birthday Tink Party.

Eric's Karaoke Birthday Bash

And last but not least, caring for my son and babysitting little baby girl.

Life has been wisping by filled with not one boring minute.  I am going to try my hardest to continue to document our lives but in a more timely mannor.

Princess LiAnna's B-Day

My Niece, Princess LiAnna, had a fairy tale birthday. My sister rented a "Jumpy-Jumpy". The biggest hit of the day was the Snow White Snow Cone machine with all the kiddos (& even the adults).

In this photo, Deric is eye-balling Baby Jesse's snow cone.

Jesse is soo mindful & sweet toward his cousin Deric & says,
"No baby, its too cold for you." LOL!

Birthday Luau

My Daddy & I are both March babies & I thought it would be fun to celebrate with a Luau. We invited close friend/family & we had a blast.

I have been friends with these girls for >15 years & I am sooo glad they were all able to make it.

Jesse's 3rd BDay

Jesse, my nephew, is really into Dinosaurs so what better place to host his 3rd BDay then The Phoenix Zoo. What a great idea!

Proud Mommy Selina

& I were busy playing

Paparazzi.

Deric-T-Rex was on the hunt for

BDay cake.

Jesse's "Oooo" face is due to the Fortune Cookies Grandpa laced the inside of his gift.
My Daddy, he cracks me up LOL.

Deric's 1st Super Bowl themed Birthday

We decided to officially have his 1st BDay party the day the Cardinals made it to their 1st Super Bowl.

My friend Claudia makes the most delicioso cakes. This 3tier of yummy goodness was so light & moist. Each tier was a different fruit filled flavor. Oh, & how could I forgit the decor. There were little football rings, Super Bowl rings, the cake top doubles as a keepsake magnet. You may contact Claudia at clmgirl@yahoo.com

Born & raised in AZ, we naturally were rooting for the Cardinals. So why a Steelers pinata? This was great symbolic idea by Eric's creative mind. Our aspirations for the Cards to win Superbowl XLIII by beating the Steelers just as the children beat the pinata. I thought this was a great idea. After the game I now see they should be named the "STEALers."

Thank you everyone for the gifts & for coming out to help make this day so special.

Deric's offical BDay but mini pre-celebration

Deric almost shares a birthday with a very special person. Born on Christmas Eve, Eric & I understand this is a time for family. We decided each year to have a mini celebration with cake & ice cream with family.

This is the 1st time Deric has ever tasted anything sweet. As you can see, he initially ate with caution.

Once the cake passed clearance, he obviously enjoyed it as he later devoured it.

I decided to remove his shirt so he would not ruin it.

Celebrating Web's BDay / Seli & Ralph's Anniversary

Buca de Beppo is where we all gathered for Web's BDay / Seli & Ralph's anniversary.

Web stood on her chair while we sang Happy Birthday.
