Happy Birthday to US!

Hi and Hello everybody! I apologize for our absence from the blogging scene... Has anyone even really noticed???? But we have been very busy! I have been working full time hours and Griff is looking for a job, and we have also been busy having BIRTHDAYS!
Mia has officially turned one and Daddy has officially turned old.

But before I go off on all our birthday adventures, I'll tell you about Sophie's new hobby:

Sophie has decided that she was born a photographer.

Don't let the camera strap fool you... she's not an amateur. She actually took this picture by herself:



And this one too:

(Stacey, we may need to come back to Modesto so Sophie can job shadow you for a day)

Now! On to Birthday Bliss!
Here is Daddy and his girls on his big day:

And here is our little one year old!!! (sniff)

We had a big party for 4 combined birthdays that are within a month of each other. It was quite the shindig. Nothin says birthday like bbq'd hotdogs!
Has anyone seen the children's TV show called "In the night garden"? Let me forewarn you... it is extremely creepy, and if your children are like mine, they will LOVE it. (? very strange, mia giggles over it and I just have nightmares).
Anyways, Mia got one of the characters for her Bday - 'Igglepiggle'. The name says it all, doesn't it?

Meeting for the first time.

This pretty much says how she feels about the guy.

Mia's Cake:

Mia devouring her cake:
In other news, my kids have only recently discovered the joy of McDonald's Play houses.
The other day Sophie threw a tantrum as we were headed home in the car. She said she didn't want to go home, she wanted to go to a restaurant.
(Yes, in our family Micky D's is High Class). Well maybe if the Keg had slides, we would go there too.



Happy Bershday Everybody!

I love seeing pics and our girl's clothes!! I haven't seen that show but it looks creepy enough. It reminds me of Poomba...I think thats how you spell it, really creepy, looks like someone on an acid trip made it, my kids LOVED it. Good times!

I totally miss you when you are gone...and in all honesty I remembered Mia's birthday and mourned the loss of another year of being motherless. I guess I will just have to love your kiddos extra until I have my own. Happy Birthday Mia and Griff!
