Gaby's Bday Party

Happy 5th Birthday to my beautiful girl! This year for Gaby's party we did a princess tea party with Rapunzel as a special guest. (As a side note when Rapunzel called Gaby the night before the party, she was not believing it was her! It was so funny! The kid might be too smart for her own good! She kept saying - "You are not Rapanzel!! You're Aunt Michelle!" I dont know why she thought it was Michelle but there was no convincing her otherwise. But then when Rapunzel showed up at the party she did not doubt it for a second! Thank goodness!) Gaby's friends from dance and school joined her for a little running around, dancing, storytime, magic show, face painting and of course, cupcakes & tea. Five year olds sure know how to have a good time :) Our little family :)

5 Months

Mila is coming into her own this month. She is trying very hard to sit on her own and has mastered rolling from one side to the other. She's not a huge fan of being on her belly but I think is starting to realize that it opens up her world! She loves grabbing things and is always putting things in her mouth. She especially likes her forefinger :). She has also discovered her feet! Oh how fun it is to chew on ones own toes ;-) !!! We have tried eating cereal and some fruits here and there but our strong minded little girl is NOT interested in them at all! We'll keep trying because I'm really hoping food is the key to sleeping! She was sleeping really well (only up twice a night) and then something happened and we lost it completely :( This not sleeping thing is getting VERY old! Mama is soooo tired!

Other than that fun stuff,though, little Mila is still our very serious, observant, adorable cutie.

Disney World !!

What is the perfect gift when you turn 5 ??
What would make us the BEST parent's in the world??
A trip to DISNEYWORLD!!!! Oh yea :)

We left little Mila in Houston and spent 5 glorious days at the happiest place in the world!

Meeting, taking pictures, and getting autographs from ALL the princesses was a must!

The Griffin family joined us for another fun adventure together.
Wyatt, Cole & Brady

We had such a fun time! It's so cool to experience these things with your kids :)

It was exhilarating AND exhausting all at the same time :) As soon as we got on the plane to come back home, Gaby asked "When can we go back???". Oh geez.

Happy New Year!

Hard to believe it's already 2012. Hard to believe we have a new baby. Hard to believe we have an almost 5 yr old. Life moves so fast sometimes. People always tell you to appreciate every moment but it's hard to sometimes when you are so busy and time flies! We are so thankful for our beautiful, healthy girls. We are thankful for our amazing life and wonderful families. Here's to 2012! Hard to imagine it can get any better (maybe if I could get some sleep ;-) Ha!)
