Olea turns Four

Why does the time have to fly when I am loving my babies? They get big too fast!
Today is my Olea's Fourth Birthday, if I could put her into a description of words it would be
PURE JOY with a cherry on top! I love this girl SO BAD!, is what I like to tell her.
All she wanted was a princess pony party with her few little girlfriends, and also wanted
uncle Paul and cousin Mason to come but it ended up being an all girl party.
Her favorite things right now are;
Anything purple (wears her purple sweat pants every second she can get away with)
Play's dress up, My Little Ponies, Lala Loopsie, Barbies, her bla bla doll
"Shows" Panyo, Spongebob, Dorothy (the lizard of Boz)
Eats, "peaner butter sandwiches", pizza, chicken nuggets, "brockery" (broccoli), gold fishies
Loves snuggles, wrestling with dad, holding my hand when going to sleep, digging in dirt, blowing bubbles
Wants to ride a horse someday, and can't wait to go to a carnival again.
Does not like school!

I didn't have time to make a cake so I let her pick one out. It had the ugliest dot thingies on it, so I tried
to take most of them off and add some other sprinkles and a pony. She loved it and thats all that matters!

Vegas round two

We took the kids to Mandalay bay and spent the day in the sun at the wave pool. Ben got the good loungers right in front of the waves and the band, we had the perfect spot and didn't even see anything crazy except for the big lady that danced an irish jig in her two piece. Afterwards we went to see the sharks and ate at a buffet so the girls could pick some new foods to try. Should have known better, because they headed straight to the desert bar. It was a sweet little getaway.

Lucky charm

Ben got this shirt for Miles when he was in Ireland. I wanted to get a good picture of him but I Literally had 1 minute to snap a photo and download it cause we are heading to Vegas, this time with kiddos to stay at Mandalay and see the sharks.
Happy St. Patricks day!

Why does my 10 month old look like he is in first grade?

Vegas baby!

Vegas is good for 3 things, eating great food, shopping, and laying by a nice pool. Just the three of us,
(Ben, Miles, & Myself) dropped the girls off at Grandma's for the weekend while we went to Vegas.
It was just what I needed, to get out of the coldness and spend some time with my guys! I didn't
take the camera, because I would have probably lost it!
Here is the view from our room, Miles loved the huge window to the world of worldliness! actually,
this was our first room, but it just wasn't good enough for Ben so we upgraded
Photobucket
This is our second room, much more satisfactory! and I can't even stand this cute bum!

Six and a half

My Bella is growing up so fast. I caught her singing to her barbies
in her room the other day. She's never really played with babydolls
but she loves her barbies! my Bella is a sweet little girl
with a vast imagination! and she never forgets anything!
Her favorite things right now are reading, dress up/role play
anything to do with drawing or crafts, rollerskating and listening
to her daddy's stories!
I have learned and am learning so much from her!
she will only be six for six more months, and I'm trying to
soak up her littleness as much as she will let me. :(
did I mention, she loves to play to the camera?,
she loves to take my iphone and take a thousand
pictures of herself making silly faces!
