I can brush too!

Brylee loves to chew on toothbrushes. We have been cautious about keeping the bathroom door closed but occasionally she gets in and this is what we find.
She pulls the drawer open and then climbs up on the stool to be able to reach inside and grab as many toothbrushes as possible.

Funny girl!

Wedding cake

This is the wedding cake I made last Saturday for Eric's cousin, Michelle's wedding. She just wanted it plain and simple and that made it easy for me. Nothing to challenging. Here it is before the flower decorations. She forgot to tell the florist she needed something for the top so I had to come up with something on the spot.
Here it is with flowers on top. I had to cut some off of the center pieces at the reception. But I think it turned out ok.

Michelle and I.

Michelle and the girls. I think Kimberlen was playing with her uncle when this was taken. But i had to show that Maycee was holding her dress. She was so worried that it was dragging and getting dirty. She wanted to be by Michelle's side all night. It was cute but I am not sure everyone like having her in their pictures. Ha Ha.

Maycee's 3rd Birthday

Birthday Pictures. We had a lot of fun taking her pictures. She did so much better than the other two girls and that was nice for me. She loved the balloons and told me I was the best mom ever for getting them for her. This is was she says whenever I do something for her lately.

Opening presents. Maycee got a little spoiled as did the other two girls. When she would get a present we would read the card to find out who it was from, then she would run up to that person and give them a hug and say Thank You before she even opened the gift. She got so many dress-up dresses with shoes, tiara's and accessories. She has worn them all and it has only been one day. The picture of her and Brylee, Brylee was giving her a bike with princess' on it of course, and she gave her a big hug.

The Cake. All Maycee wanted was a Princess Castle Cake and.....ta da, she got one. She was so excited when she saw it all come together.

Good Ice Cream!!! On the nose and everything.

I am pretty sure she had a great birthday. And thanks to everyone that helped celebrate it.

Getting teeth

Brylee is getting her teeth. She looks a bit like a vampire, but the middle ones are trying to make there way down. It's not easy trying to get a picture of them and as for bottom teeth, there are not any yet that I can see.

Basement progress

I thought I had better show the progress on the basement before it was all done. With my procrastination that is probably the next time I will get pictures taken. This is Kimberlen's room.
Her doorway from inside her room.

And another angle. We have her closet organizers complete and the casing on the doors are finished. Next, the baseboards and caulking.

Hallway will Kimberlen's room on the right, the cold storage at the end and the closet on the left.

Storage closet shelves, the opposite side with be a long hanging rack.

Cold storage. Yes it is sheet rocked and will be painted and carpeted for my wonderful husband.

Maycee's room. Closet and Doorway.

From the other end. Her door casings are done, but we still need to do her closet.

We Are Walking

My little Brylee started walking about 2 1/2 weeks ago. It is amazing how quickly they go from taking four to five steps to now walking from one end of the house to the other. This is one of the earlier clips of her walking.

But this is what she loves to do right now. Such a girly girl.

Kimberlen turn's 8

Kimberlen's Birthday Bash

We started on Friday with a group of girls at Taylor Andrew's Hair Academy for some make over hair do's. This is the before picture.

Kimberlen getting her hair done. She has a princess crown and all the other girls had little tiara's.

After she was done.

The group afterwards. Thanks to Aunt Kris for giving this wonderful gift to Kimberlen. The girls had so much fun and it was great to get to watch them all.

Cake number one.

The girls eating cake and ice cream after open gifts. She got some fun things.
This was all that was left of the cake. The inside was tie-dye.

Saturday we attended a Bridal Shower for Eric's cousin and they made Kimberlen feel special since it was on the day of her birthday. We dressed her up in a toilet paper wedding dress and she won. She thought that was pretty neat and being the only kid with a bunch of ladies made her feel pretty special.

On Sunday we had all our friends and family over for dinner and cake. Here she is opening her gifts. She got totally spoiled and a whole new summer wardrobe. She loved everything she received. Maycee of course had to be right in the middle of it.

One thing she really wanted was a pair of glitter toes by sketchers and she got a pair from Grandma and was very excited.

One of the many cute clothes. I actually got this dress for her. I thought it was just so cute.

Cake Number two after Maycee attacked it with the frosting tip before I decorated it. Kimberlen and I were getting our hair done when she came in with frosting on her hands and face. It was a dead give away as to what had happened.

I was able to fix it and this was the final result. She didn't quit know what kind of cake she wanted so this is what we finally came up with. Thanks Char'lee for the cute star pan.

Anticipation...watching Hudson being silly.

And then they were out. I think she might have had a little help too.

She had a great birthday and in just two weeks we get to do it again for Maycee. Lets hope I can do all I am trying to get done in the mean time.

Aysons Birthday

Yesterday we celebrated Ayson's first birthday. He is my cousin Char'lee's little boy. He is such a cute big boy.
Here he is sharing his toys with Brylee.
Brylee in her cool shades.

He loves drums and went to town with this one.

Kimberlen is wearing the pinata. It was a cowboy hat, but looks more like something patriotic upside down.

Opening our presents.

This is the cake that I made for him.

And he loved it I'm sure.

At least he liked how it tasted.

Nothing like a good chocolate cake.
