Riley and her Olivia the Pig party!

Old Post that I meant to finish a loooonnnggg time ago!

Riley turned 3 on Aug 15th! Our baby girl - my last baby girl :(

When I asked Ry what kind of party she was wanting to have she immediately said Olividuh, which is what she called Olivia at the time! So Olividuh it was!!

It was so fun to put this party together because it involved using one of my favorite colors - RED - which is Olivia's fav color too :)

Family and friends came over and everyone had such a blast! We did the big blow-up slip-n-slide and all the kids had a great time on it (the adults too). We got to keep the slip-n-slide overnight until the next afternoon and we as a family rocked that thing until they picked it up in the morning :) Hotdogs, cake, cupcakes, cake pops, iced sugar cookies, and chocolate covered strawberries was what we all munched on and it was all pretty stinking good if I do say so myself.

Riley had such a good time and so did everyone at the party! Now onto planning for next year :) The Birthday Girl!! Hamming it up! Silly Girl! Ry and Slade in the water slide Awesome Cake

30 was nothin'

This is how far behind I am in blogging - My bday was months ago and Im just now getting around to saying how much I dreaded it. Turning 32 was sad, sad, sad and yes, I know there are worse things but this was my unhappy time. As my mom lovingly tells me every year when the ol' bday rolls around and I start getting mopey about my age, "Well Brandee, it's better than the alternative." Thanks Mom and Happy Birthday to me with those thoughts. It just sucks realizing your no longer going to be the youngest at the office, out of a group - stuff like that. And the cuteness factor starts to wear off too, now youre just Paige's mom or Ma'm (the dreaded Ma'm!!!) Does it annoy any of you ladies when the checker at the grocery store goes into Ma'm overdrive??? Im not old enough for that, am I???

Anyway - I am grateful to be 32 and not any kind of alternative. Moving on to 33!! Lord that age sounds scary!!! :)

Father's Day

It was yesterday and in all of my busy-ness I didnt get around to this but Happy Father's Day!! I never really liked celebrating father's day because I had 2 and they really didnt live up to the hype of being celebrated but I seemed to have been smart enough to marry a man that IS worth celebrating!!!
Happy Father's Day to the most wonderful, handsome, loving, energetic, helpful, sexy, funny and just all around awesome man ever!! He always makes time for all 5 of us and he deals with 4 girls in the house like it's no big deal ;)
I love him like crazy!! I dont know how I would make it without him - Thanks for being such a wonderful Daddy Paul! We <3 U!!! My babies daddy with the babies!

We're Curaaaaaazzzzzyyyyyyy!!!!!

Happy Mother's Day!!!

To all the wonderful, beautiful, hard-working women out there that take care of their wonderful babies - Happy Mother's Day!!

Being a mother is the hardest, most rewarding job Ive ever had the pleasure of experiencing. I have the 4 most awesome little souls that I get to help nurture and grow and see what they become in life! It's the biggest responsibility I've ever had or will have and I try to enjoy it everyday - although sometimes I really have to remind myself to enjoy them because one day they'll be out of my house and growing their own family (tear!!)

Paige, Madeline, Riley and Slade have been the best blessings and I thank God everyday for them. I love these little babies more than anything and Im pretty honored to be their Mommy :)

Look at these sweet faces!
