More Parties! Are We Done Yet?

The girls birthday cake. Thank you, Walmart! The kids loved it and it was super easy to serve up. Just grab a cupcake!

Happy girls.

Opening some presents. They are lucky to have summer birthdays because they get bbqs and opening presents outside!

We Washingtonians don't use umbrellas when it rains, we use them when it is sunny. Our sensitive skin can't take the UV rays.

This poor little baby had a cold but she was such a good baby. Next year she is going to be quite the helper at her sisters' birthday parties, I am sure.

Keira is 5!

Keira is five years old now! I can't believe it. Yesterday was her birthday but we have been celebrating all week long it feels like. Blogger decided to switch up the order of the photos but we had Keira's princess party last Saturday. A local children's salon has a party room and the owner is a member of the church I go to and she donated a party to an auction the teens in our church had for their youth programs over the summer. I bid on the party and won! So Keira got this fun friend party and they had a blast. They got their hair and nails done and got to play princess themed games and make princess themed crafts.

On Keira's actual birthday we went to the zoo with Grandma Marcia and Great-Grandma Williams. It was the perfect day. It was nice and cool so all the animals were out playing. I have been to that zoo a million times and I saw animals out that I have never seen out before! It was kind of cool. She got to pick out what we had for breakfast, lunch and dinner and she picked donuts for breakfast, sandwiches for our picnic lunch at the zoo and pizza for dinner. Then she wanted strawberry shortcake and I found a strawberry boston creme pie at the store and thankfully she thought it was perfect! What a fun day for a cute 5 year old!

We Know They Are Sisters

These are all my babies at about 4 1/2 months old. Can you guess who is who?

Food is Good

Rhianna had her first cereal today. She loved it. I was expecting a face or spitting it out but she just sucked it down and waited patiently for more. She was even helping shovel it in at some points. I couldn't believe how well she did. My girls have always had an easy time transitioning to solids and always liked their food but she was the best first time eater for sure. She didn't even make a mess. The only mess she made was at the end when she decided she was done and raspberried at me. Now we can only hope getting some solids in her will help with her pukeyness. Fingers crossed.

Minivan!!!!

We are super excited that we finally have a minivan. I also got a better deal than I expected to which made it that much more exciting. It is a 2008 Toyota Sienna for those who are interested in those sort of things. We couldn't be more excited to drive around without practically sitting in each others laps.

Cute!

I just found this picture on my camera so Daddy must have taken it. Very cute!

"The Paci Pixie"

Elaina got a book for Easter called "The Paci Pixie" (click here if you want to see the book). She really liked the book and we kept talking about the Paci Pixie coming to take away her pacifiers for new babies but she didn't like that idea. I finally made it a goal in my head to get rid of them at the end of May. Yesterday was the last day of May so I followed through on my plan. We put Elaina's pacifiers (yes, we have backups for our backups) out on a cute blanket. Last night while she was asleep the Paci Pixie came and got her pacifiers and replaced them with bubbles! So fun! She wasn't to thrilled about going to bed without her pacifier and we had a little harder time going to bed then normal but she went to sleep without any meltdowns and was so excited to see her present. She hasn't even asked where her pacifiers are. Hopefully naptime and bedtime will go ok without them. We will see.
