{Happy Birthday Stella Jane}

On September 8th Stella turned four. Do I really have a four year old!? I'm not sure where the time has gone. We love Stella so much! She is so happy and active. Every night when i'm putting her to bed her first question is "What are we going to do tomrorow?"... she loves to go go go!! Here are the picture from Stella's four year old pictures we had taken as well as the pictures form her Princess for a Day birthday party.

This picture captures her personality. She has so much "sass"

She looks so grown up! She's growing up too fast!

This year stella wanted a Princess Cake.. this is what i came up with.

looks like Barbie needs to head to the salon for a new hairdo!

On of the party games was "Princess, Princess, Frog" the winner (Zoe) ended up taking home a crown. The girls loved it! They were even runnign when it wasn't their turn :)

We played Pin the Kiss on the Frog

Joe drew this darling frog for the girls to pin the kisses on.

They had a princess tea party with Ribbon Sandwiches, Fruit and Veggies

All of the princesses who came to the party.Stella has so many friends and she loves all of them!

Blowing out the birthday candles is not as easy as it looks!

So she got a little help!

After her friends went home she opened her present from mom and dad... a trip to Disneyland!

She was so excited!!

{Happy Birthday Max}

Our little man turned one in August! He loves crawling (and he is freakishly fast!), he climbs up and down the stairs, loves to play with his sister, is a great sleeper, smiles all of the time and rarely cries. He LOVES bath time and real food (he'll eat just about anything) -- he loves to rub his food in his hair so usually has to take a bath after he eats. He is such a happy boy and we feel so blessed to have him in our family. Here are some of our favorite pictures of Max over the last little while.

We had his one year pictures taken the week of his birthday and they turned out so cute!
They really captured his personality.

I brought some balloons and a "smash cake" to the photo shoot so he could dig in!

Don't you jsut want to kiss that messy face??!

We celebrated his birthday with family at our house. I made him a caterpillar cake since he crawls around everywhere. I think it turned out really good (even though the face looks a little creepy). I love making birthday cakes for my kids!

Joe's parents were in town for the celebration. We dont get to see them as often as we'd like. It was fun spending the weekend with them at our family reunion!
