Birthday Weekend

Well another year has past and I have survived.  This year it involved a little more cake since we had 3 parties in a row to attend.  On Friday we had a party for me at Tim's grandparents, the Saturday was Allison's party and Sunday was Reagan's party.  Cake and ice cream everyday - the girls were thrilled.  It was a lot of "we get to eat cake and ice cream again?!?!"
So here's how the weekend went....

Tim, Owen, and Emma hanging out in the chair

Trying to get all the grandchildren together for a shot.  This was as good as it got before Emma melted down from being exhausted.  It was way past her bedtime

Owen and Emma - 3 month difference

Saturday morning it was on to the Martychenko residence for my Goddaughter Allison's 2nd birthday.  More cake and a castle bounce house to boot!  The kids bounced until the guys came and picked it up.

The birthday girl looking all cute and innocent.  This was before Elmo icing was on about every kid in all different kinds of spots.

Allison waiting patiently to be able to take her turn to feed Emma.  She was like the rest, about interested in it for 1 minute then on to the next activity.

Saturday night we did a Trunk or Treat at St. Claire's with the Resnik's and Cowan's.  Jenn had a picture of the kids here if you would like to see it.
Sunday it was on to Washington, MO for Reagan's 2nd birthday.

Teresa has some fabulous cake skills.  Megan ate the polka dots off her piece of cake.

And not to be left out - Emma is now 4 months old so we decided to attempt some cereal Sunday night.  Not a great idea since she was so off schedule from being held so much, the traveling, and parties, but we thought we'd give it a shot anyway.

She's mad and hungry already but I tried to shove a bite in.

and that's how that went.  We switched to PJs and a bottle and called it a night.

Emma at 4 months:

• Now has 2 teeth on the bottom
• Working on rolling over from back to front - gets on her side and is satisfied for now
• Wants to sit up and see everything, not happy to be cradled unless there is a bottle involved
• Kind of starting to try cereal - we'll have it down in a week or so
• Loves to watch her sisters sing and dance
• Will babble back to you when you talk to her like you are having a conversation
• Other than that....pretty much the same as 3 months.

And just for fun
Ann at 36 :)

• Still working for The Home Depot
• Been married for almost 10 years - "dating" Tim for almost 13 years
• Mother of 3 beautiful daughters
• Working on her MBA slowly...
• Eats about as well as her 5 year old
• Learning to survive on less sleep
• Loves every amazing day watching her family grow and learn
• Needs about 6 more hours in a day to get everything done

 And about 100 other things, but I'm boring, the kids are more fun.
