Birthday Girls!!!!!!

I realized that i did not do a post about Charlie's 1st birthday party which was in August and
Cora just turned 3 and had a sweet little party as well, so i am going to do one post on both girls to save me time ;)

First up, we have Charlie - just so you know how we say her name ;) we pronounce it Sharlie - anyhow, this sweet wonderful blue eyed little gem turned one on August 17th. We decided to throw together a little party which surprisingly enough everyone wanted to be apart of. We felt blessed beyond words that so many people wanted to join us in celebrating this little lady's 1st birthday. I made cupcakes and we had pies... We had fellowship and we laughed. Then as the night grew later and people left, a few stuck around and we had a prayer time. We expressed problems that we were having, concerns and needs. It was the perfect ending to this already perfect day. Now without further ado - pictures ;)








If you have never heard or seen these bizarre looking toys - YOU ARE SO MISSING OUT! They are a hoot... Yes, a hoot... Seriously, go to Target (cause everything is at Target) and pick this guy up or anyone of his friends and go crazy - then buy it cause if you have a little one, they will think you are awesome ;) ok, moving on...

this blanket was made by our very sweet CB. we ♥ her.

Now on to Birthday Girl # 2 who turned the all so fabulous #3.

Her birthday landed on a Saturday, but not just any Saturday. A Saturday like no other Saturdays.. A BSU vs Oregon St FOOTBALL Game Saturday... can i get a "blah blah blah"??? And even though i sent out an all so clever email invite to this special one of a kind crazy beautiful girl turning 3 year old PRINCESS PINK AND YELLOW party with the promise of having the game on and SNACKS............... We still had alot of fabulous people show up. It was perfect. It was sweet and believe it or not - no one watched the game (it was being dvr'd) they all enjoyed each other, more cupcakes (including bacon and maple cupcakes for my so loved bro in law's b-day) and snacks. Oh, not to mention the awesome-est game on the planet... STICK THE HEART ON THE TIARA.... Yup, it was a great night.

My pretty pretty princess

2 pretty pretty princesses

Here the game... see, awesome in true form...
she was the only one protesting to not wear the blindfold.. after all she was the birthday girl.

Her sweet friends

It true princess form. There was no singing of the birthday song. She said no. Wow, is she ever my child or what....
Check out the blue eye's on the beautiful face...
The princess was in a "No pictures Please MOM" type of mood.

Here is my brother in law about to bite into the bacon maple cupcake i made for his b-day.. First bite was to try it, next bite i am sure was just to please me - then we threw it away and grabbed a princess cupcake... It was the thought that counts - right ;)
