Ashton's birthday - He's 2 today!

Getting ready for Ashton's birthday...

I love this little boy of mine.  He's so much fun!

And it's fun to plan parties for your kids!

I got some balloons.

Made an ice cream cake found on pinterest.

Got his presents wrapped.

Love his face when he is happy - We are singing Happy Birthday to him

Box full of sunshine :)

I love doing crafts.  Here's another I made for a friend

today.  A box of sunshine filled with fun things and 

treats that are yellow :)

Getting ready for the baby :)

 I'll be 33 weeks on Friday.  6 more weeks or less until the baby will be here!  So excited!!!  I have been getting the baby nursery ready for her.  Here are pictures of her room.  The crib below:

The glider and ottoman (love that they are pink :)  makes me smile)

Madeline's 11th birthday

For Madeline's birthday, we took her friends swimming

at the local rec center.  Then we came back to our house

and had cupcakes and ice cream, did a pinata and opened 

presents.  It was the easiest party I have done since usually 

I plan the parties for a long time in advance.  

This one was so much more relaxing :)
