Brian’s 7th Birthday Party
Today was Brian’s 7th birthday party, and what a bash it was! Even though his favorite Star Wars spinoff series, Star Wars: The Clone Wars was cancelled more than a year ago, through the magic of eBay, and the Internet, I was able to collect all the party supplies we needed so that he could have the Clone Wars party he dreamed of. We surprised him with a special present this morning, a talking Captain Rex helmet! Rex is Brian’s favorite character, so being able to wear his...

Today we celebrated Star Wars day in a couple different ways! Nana Rosemary watched the kids for a little bit and let us sneak away for a nice lunch together at Firebirds Rocky Mountain Grill.

I think we got the better deal, particularly considering their signature Double Black Diamond martini (not as crazy as it sounds, but definitely a winner for pineapple fans!) but Brian was clearly elated to go to Subway. 🙂 Later, we...

The kids’ second round of spring sibling portraits are here! Yes, we were crazy enough to go back for more. 😉 I had a coupon, and gosh, they’re just that darn cute. Through various circumstances, we didn’t have an ideal timeslot, and the kids had to wait for a really long time. Kendall’s carefully executed pigtails became a bit disheveled as she ran around the studio while we waited, and we forgot to put her bows in, but, it all turned out fine. 🙂 One of my...
