partyin' angry birds style!

ethan is definitely obsessed with angry birds.  he actually quite good at it and can pass levels better than i can sometimes.  he's wanted an angry birds party since he went to a classmate's party last summer.  

what a fun theme it ended up being!!  had a blast putting things together and i'm so happy with how it all turned out!  i was just impressed anything got done since we basically had to pack up a portion of our house and move in the grandparents due to a lovely little flood.  but my wonderful in-laws were helpful as always and i was able to invade their house not only with the kids but with all of the angry birds supplies.  

we had the party at a local gymnastics place and it was the perfect place to let the kids run free for almost 2 hours.  my dear friend was so helpful in helping me set-up everything in record time. 

i did come home to this...but it was totally all worth it!  especially when ethan thanked me for all of the awesome party stuff.  :)

happy 5th birthday, ethan!  we love you so much!

on her way to TWO!

my little girl will be TWO in a few months.  it is hard to believe that this little bundle of energy and smiles is growing up so quickly.  

she has become adventurous.  she can scale the table, desk or counter top and she happily moves whatever stool or box she needs to get climb higher.  she is usually searching for the phone or someones laptop or ipod.  she is chattering away.  she pipes up during dinner and doesn't hesitate to join in in the conversation.  she is a little fashionista and loves to have on her shoes and accessories.  and while she can't shop for as long as she used to, she is still relatively happy being out and about and usually waves and talks to most of the people we pass in walmart.  she is a tiny thing and with her little bob she looks just like a pixie.  but do not be mistaken, she seems to have miles' fiery temper and she will hit and bite with the best of them...and she definitely knows how to turn on the tears and pout when she doesn't get her way.

we can't imagine our family without our little muffin.  onward to TWO and a life where we will not be bound by naptimes and diapers.
