Making the Cake

I had so much fun this year making the girls "pink" cakes! Aunt Lorie and Kiah bought them each "My Little Ponies" to put on their cakes! They turned out very Pink and Pretty!!! "Blush and Bashful" would be pretty close! Lanie and Lucie helped me all the way! Check out the photos!

Lanie's Dance Recital

WOW! What an amazing, fun and SPECIAL night we had!! Lanie had her first DANCE RECITAL!!! Now let me tell you - I was quite nervous for her b/c she is the youngest and this was her first "class" of anything! We were getting ready and I was going to put her hair in a bun- I was quite excited and she quickly said- "Oh No Mommy- Mrs Pierce will put my hair in a bun." Quite shocked but I just loved to see how much she adored my sweet friend, Kim!!! Cousin Kiah was also in the class- Lanie adores her Kiah!!!

It was amazing for me to see how much she had IMPROVED over a months time ( I went to see her practice about 4 weeks prior to the recital) I was really impressed and you know me, cried most of the evening. Thinking "Wow Lord, that is my sweet baby girl out there dancing and following instructions" She was amazing, the class was amazing, it was filled with aobut 15 sweet little girls- "dancing" I was truly in heaven watching them. Their teacher is one of my most favorite people in the world. Kim Pierce, mom of 6 to whom she homeschools each! She has been a friend, and a mentor and THERE FOR ME while I was learning to be a mom. What a great example she is for me AND for all those little girls AND SHE IS AN AMAZING DANCER and TEACHER!!! Thanks Kim for all you did to make my Lanie feel like a princess for the evening!!!

BIRTHDAY PARTY

I can not belive that my girls will be 2 and 4! Where has the time gone??? Seems like yesterday that I had just found out that we were EXPECTING LANIE!!!!!!!!!!! Time has flown by and it makes me want to DROP EVERYTHING and just focus on them!!! Wish I could right! Lanie and Lucie are very excited about their bday party! Lanie wants to invite EVERYONE! I sure hope there is a ton of room at the High Flight Gymnastics place!!! Stay tuned for photos!!!

Just to fill you in on what the girls are into these days.... Lanie is really starting to want to write her letters and draw more. She is very close to writing her name. She loves to play w/ her "my little ponies" and of course Disney princesses and DRESS UP!! She is so sweet and so BUSY!!! She can NOT sit still!! Poor thing - must take after her Mama! I laugh when she watches TV- she is all over the place. Lucie is changing SO MUCH! Starting to talk and is just such a sweetie! We even think she has GROWN some!! WAHOO! She is a little fire cracker- is singing songs, loves to say the blessing with Lanie, play with Lanie, LOVES baby dolls! She is big into the kitchen set we have in the playroom and would sit and listen to tons of books- but NEVER really watches TV! She repeats the last word you say to her - so if I said Lucie do you want to go to bed - she'd say MO! No really if I said- Lets go outside- she'd say - "outside" She is much slower to talk but I think it is b/c she can't get a word in with Lanie!! :)

They are both changing so much and I am trying to keep you updated!! God is so amazing in so many BIG and LITTLE ways! It is so wonderful to see his work in PROCESS!!!

Look forward to sharing photos soon!!!

Play date

We had a very "last minute" play date/bday party for Sutton yesterday! Tracy and Kylie (2yrs) drove up from Gastonia for her last trip before baby Sam joins us (due in December) and Gretchen and Sutton joined us for lunch and fun play time!! We had wonderful weather and lots of fun on the swing set and tricycles! Sittpn turned 2 so we had chocolate cupcakes with sprinkles. You should have seen the icing all over the kids- and us! So blessed to have such wonderful friends!!!

Halloween 2007

We had so much fun this year- we changed it up a bit and took the girls to see family as well as visit some of our neighbors. They loved getting to get in the car and go! We started off the night with pumpking carving with Daddy. He is the pro carver and I am SO GLAD! I don't enjoy this as I dont have a single creative bone in my body!!!:) God knows all those little things your spouse needs to do ha ha!!!

Lanie was Belle - she was so excited! Lucie was Snow White or NO White as she said!! I had a ball getting them all "dolled up" and ready to go!!!

We started with 2 houses in our neighborhood and then headed over to my Granny and Paw Paw's house. The girls love stopping in here and Lanie helped Granny with all the tricker treaters!! Paw Paw laughed at Lucie as she danced, danced! Then we headed over to Aunt Jeany's and got to see Zach and his sweet family- more photos. We also visited with Aunt Karen and Uncle Gary- this was so much fun too!! Mimi (my mom) and Kiah came to see us there and Aunt Karen entertained the girls with a special story- She is SO good with kids!!

So as you see we had a FULL night of fun and family and CANDY!! I am enjoying that too!! Enoy the photos!
