Thumbs up!

Rose loves to do a thumbs up or down which is super cute on its own. But my favorite is that she always has to touch thumbs! So fun!

Birthday girl!

My little baby is 3! I can't believe it! We're out for a special frozen yogurt birthday treat!

This is the best!

We had dinner out on our deck tonight while the kids played in the pond, came up for a bite, and went on playing. It's just so nice! Here's our mess of dinner that I don't plan on cleaning up for a while.

Happy early birthday, Rose!

Rose turns 3 on Monday, so we had a little family party tonight! We went to the little carnival that comes to town every year around this time, rode some rides, and spent way too much money.

Then we came home to chicken, pork, and veggie kabobs , and cake and ice cream! I made a cute cake for Rose this year that she really appreciates :(!! As you can tell in the picture! The little scrunch! No. She actually loved it! She loves "mee mouse" and all she talked about all week was her "mee mouse" cake that's strawberry and she turns 3! I made marshmallow fondant for the first time. I also made a rice krispie ball for the minnie mouse head that I covered in fondant and brushed melted chocolate chips on it to make it black. Then I stuck 2 peppermint patties into it. Then I just cut out white fondant circles. I had covered that whole cake in cream cheese frosting too, so it was pretty yummy before the fondant, which is very sweet. She was gifted many squinkies, books, zoobles, and a cute pink scooter. Happy times were had by all. Rose is our sweet and spicy! We love her cute and crazy ways! She makes herself known and loves to give kisses and hugs. She also loves pink, princesses and dressing up like super girl.

Our finished deck!

Here she is! With Dave's hand out of commission, I had to step it up and built most of the railing, it was actually fun. Dave and I work together pretty well because he wants everything super crazy perfect and I just like to wing it and get it done, so we evened eachother out and it looks great! We just have the stair railing to finish, oh and of course a huge hole to cut into our house.

My Ebear

Little E has lived up to his nickname this week. Tuesday morning he went in to get his tonsils out! Poor little thing! The whole thing- going in to change, wheeling him back, to taking him home took only an hour total. It was so fast. Poor E, he growled, coughed, and cried the first hour. Growled when we got home, but after he threw up he was able to sleep. He didn't handle the anesthesia well. So it's been constant cartoons, Gatorade, and trying to get him to eat anything. He did better yesterday. Today is worse. He's just sitting on the couch moaning. He won't eat anything. I've just got to keep him drinking. It's pretty tough, but will be great in the long run. He's had major snoring and sleep apnea issues- so this should solve that issue.

This was him yesterday all set up on the couch. Bakugans, blanket, Gatorade, cartoons, and "Tuni. (The banana has "Get Bettter" balloons from Uncle Jeff tied to it :)

Our new deck so far!

Here she is! All we need is to make the railing and install the door. Check out the sweet mini fridge for sodas!
