I did it

I did it. I have always said I wouldn't. I didn't like it. I didn't need it. I was fine. No problems. Over the past few years, I started doing it here and there for a treat. For fun. Then I started to like it. I had Cary and as soon as I woke up, I was craving it. In the past week I did it. I did it every day. I did it twice, and sometimes three times a day. Now, I can say it..... I am a coffee drinker. There. Done. I crossed over. I admit, I cannot function in the morning without it. I crave it. I don't know if I like the taste of regular coffee with a TON of creamer, but I don't care. It makes my body feel like I didn't just ski downhill three days in a row, every morning when I wake up. Starbucks tastes SO good. And now, so does regular coffee from home. I thought, I am just a White Chocolate Latte or Dark Cherry Mocha drinker. Just the foo-foo stuff. Nothing major. Nope. Not me. Just a treat sometimes. I don't need that silly coffee thing to function. I can do this. Nope. Not me. I can't do it any longer without my new friend. I love my new friend. We met this morning at 5:15 am when I was feeding Carly. A great friend. A friendship that will last a long time. A new friend that my husband and children will learn to accept as a welcomed addition to our family. Every day.

Heaven

This little one is a sweet piece of heaven. Take a look...



I could just eat her up. She thinks her brother and sister are just all that. Laughing and smiling at them all the time. Seriously. She just encourages their crazy behavior. She fits into our family just right. She was always meant to be here. To make us smile. Just a little piece of heaven here on earth. Love it. Love her.

Emma's Pink and Purple Party

Emma wanted a Pink and Purple Birthday Party, with a little princess twist thrown in. So, that is exactly what she got. And me? Well, if I do say so myself, I got a little creative! Emma, and Dylan, helped make many of our wonderful creations, both decoration style and edible treats, for the party. Everything you will see in the pics below food wise, was made by us...well except for the cotton candy. Not that crafty yet! And if a decoration looks homemade...it was! Here we go...
