Can he really do that by himself?

Yes, that's right my 3 year old is mixing the cake mix for our cupcakes all by himself.  I thought I would stand by and hold it and help.  Oh no, he took over and started turning the bowl, just like an old pro.  I loved it we of course had to take a picture and get the video camera out.  They did end up getting over mixed so we had pointy cupcakes but we had to document.

It's Our Families Birthday

Check out our choice of clothing.  I've been having the girls go down and get their own clothes lately.  It's nice when they do because it's one less thing for me to do in the morning however, I have to live with their choices.  I do wish I had specified sunday clothes for this outing next year we will for sure so we can take them inside.  We did go in downstairs and they walked around the beautiful atrium type thing they have there.

It's our families birthday tomorrow but of course why not celebrate all weekend long.  We went to visit the temple on our living room wall.  The kids were very excited about this.  They always get so excited for our temple outings.  Only if we had the same enthusiasm about attending the temple.  Of course their trip lasts 15 minutes and it consists of running around- (we try to make them walk) discovering a new location.  Anyway, we had fun.

Ryan also made a new variety of cupcake tonight.  Bacon Maple cupcakes which I wish we had a picture of.  Sounded yuck to me too untill I tried it.  Butter pecan cake mix, Maple flavored frosting, and a small piece of bacon to top it off.

Dear Toothfairy



Alyssa lost another tooth!!



Obviously she thinks the tooth fairy is a little like Santa Clause.  She doesn't want much.

Our toothfairy is a little too old school for that.

Pretty funny huh.  The best part was Anna wrote an identical note to the one Alyssa wrote, actually she had me write it.  She put it under her pillow thinking she would recieve something.  I toold her the toothfairy only comes to people who lose teeth.  She apparently is a I've got to learn it on my own type of girl (Like I didn't know that already).  Anna checked her room twice to make sure the toothfairy hadn't left her something. 

Happy Birthday Peter

We celebrated Peter's 3rd Birthday this week.  I think the girls were more excited about everytning than Peter was which just makes a Mom proud.  They really helped to make everything special for him.  They even kept his Buzz bike a surprise!  We're so Happy to have Peter in our family.  We love you!

I was trying to get a good shot of Peter but this is the best we got.  Milk dripping from the lips.
 He looks old though eh?



These are the cupcakes Ryan had been planning on making for the last month. 
They did turn out super cute.
Thanks Ryan!!
