Happy 11th and 3rd Birthday!!!!!

This past weekend we had family over for the girls Birthday dinner. On the menu as requested by the girls ...was Lasagna, pasta and meatballs, salad, garlic bread and Macaroni and cheese!! And of course (selfishly) Guiseppes Bakery cakes. Every time one of their birthdays roll around, I am always amazed at how fast a year goes by, now that I am a mom. I am even more amazed that I have an 11 year old and that I am about to be a mom of 4!!!! 

And more than being amazed I am so very thankful to be a mom, their mom and mom to 3 (almost 4)girls.

Poor Emma spent her party coughing all night....literally :( 

Happy, Happy Birthday to my 2 October babies!

May all your wishes come true!!!

Why???

Why did I send Adam to McDonalds at 10:15pm the other night for a McDouble (no onions) and a small fry?  Because I have no will power these days....NONE!!! 

And for the record .......it did not live up to its expectations :( and I felt guilty after as Lyla was going crazy probably on salt and fat overload ;)

Alivia's Very 1st cheer game

And she was soo nervous! Since this was her first game, I think a lot of her fears were not knowing what it would be like cheering in front of a bunch of kids and parents. I am embarrassed to say that I bribed her with hot chocolate to get there,as she was refusing. She finally agreed and looked soooo stinkin cute in her cheer uniform.

 We had to get there early for pictures which I think turned out great!

(top row, 2nd in from the left)

I *nearly* cried when she walked on the field. For two reasons 1) She looked so sweet and little 2) I was so, so, SO  proud of her for pushing through her fears and going

Shakin her booty

At the end they got up in front of everyone and did their cheer. She looked nervous at first but jumped right in and did it.

So proud of my sweet shy girl!
