Lilly's bday party

So, we had Lilly's little party on Saturday night. We had yummy pizza, cake & good company. Lilly loved her cake and liked the figures on it better than some of her other presents. I had to distract her away from the Little Einsteins characters to even look at the other stuff. She had a great time and was really excited to be having her birthday. She kept saying over and over "Happy Birthday to me!!"

Lilly's cake

My amazingly talented friend, Kendra, makes cakes for a hobby, so I asked her to make one for Lilly's birthday. She had done Tyson's transformer cake, so I asked for a Little Einsteins one. I think she outdid herself. Lilly is going to freak out tomorrow when she gets to see it for her birthday party. I'm so excited!!

Happy Birthday Lilly!!

Three years ago at 12:15pm, Lillian Paige came out and blessed our family. She is such an independant little spitfire and I wouldn't trade her for anything. She is such an amazing little girl and so full of attitude lately. She is learning to potty like a big girl and I'm so proud of her. She loves her brother, Little Einsteins (mostly Rocket), Tipsy (my parents dog) and her binky. I know she's a little old for it, but it only comes out for bedtime unless she finds one in my purse. :)

Proof

I work three nights a week and we usually bathe our children every other night unless they're really dirty. Sometimes Ted forgets since he's the one putting them to bed three nights in a row, so I'm always on him to make sure they get a bath or shower. Last night at work, I received this picture prooving that he was getting them clean. What cute kiddos I have!

BodynSoul by Celeste Foster

A few weeks ago, I had my pictures taken by my very good friend Celeste Foster. She's a professional photographer and has recently made the change from families, maternity, etc to boudoir type. She is an amazing photographer and really makes you feel comfortable. I was extremely happy with the outcome and would love to do it again someday. I recommend all women to do this...it's a great gift for your husbands.
Here are a couple of my modest poses:

Fun with the Fosters

The day after Halloween, we drove up to Klamath Falls, Oregon and stayed overnight with our great friends, the Fosters. Celeste, Ben & I all went to high school together. They were married my junior year and have been happily together ever since. They have two daughters...Sam.12yrs and Jessie.almost 2yrs. They come down to Yreka every other weekend or so to visit their family and friends and we've been spending a lot of time with them. We appreciate their friendship and always have a great time with them.
