Vivi's Turns Two

Today we celebrated Vivi's second birthday with our family and friends.  I can't believe that she is already two.  It seems like just yesterday we were living in Fort Worth and on our way to the hospital to meet this precious girl.  She has brought so much joy and laughter into our lives and we are so incredibly thankful that God blessed us with such an amazing gift.  We have so much fun seeing her grow and develop into a little person.  She is fascinated by animals, and has a recent obsession with turtles and frogs.  I had seen this Lilly Pulitzer inspired turtle party earlier this year and when the brainstorming started I could not get this party out of my head.  With the help of Pinterest and other party blogs I became the ultimate party planner, and had a blast doing it!

The party could not have gone any smoother.  The kids had a great time playing with each other, in the playroom or outside, working up an appetite. We all enjoyed light lunch topped off with mini vanilla cupcakes done by the talented Lindsey Levine of Batter Up Pastry Boutique in Fort Worth.  All of the sweets were delicious, and so incredibly cute!  The kids birthdays are always a highlight of my year.  I loved celebrating our sweet little girl and decorating for the bash too!

Here are a few pictures from the party.  Enjoy!



























All of these vendors were such a pleasure to work with, I would highly recommend them all and will definitely use them again in the future.  Thank you!

Dinner with Friends

This evening we went over to John and Nelma's house for a big family dinner.  It was a wonderful evening spent with friends, new and old.  We loved watching all of the kids play together.

Easter 2011

Despite Easter being much later than it was last year, a cold front blew in a cooled things down a bit, requiring us don sweaters with our Easter attire.  We had a lovely day.  We started the day with Mass, followed by a delicious lunch with family at Mary and David's.  Despite the cold the kids were so excited about the Easter egg hunt.  Luke could have hunted for eggs all day long!  Another treat for the day was having a photographer come by to capture some special moments.  Suzanne is a friend of the family and has an amazing eye.  See some of the photos she shot of our family on her blog SuzOjo.

What a wonderful day we had, spending time with friends and family and celebrating our Lord Jesus and the suffering he endured for US.  What an amazing gift!

Happy Birth Day Cade!

Sweet baby Cade was born yesterday morning and is so loved!  There was a flock of family waiting for the news of his birth and many of them met him when he was just minutes old.  Here are some pictures from his special day.  We have been blessed with a beautiful, healthy, BIG boy and couldn't be any happier.
