The Final Event

And now onto the final birthday event:

It was a super fun birthday, and the decorations were so cute! the pictures just really don't do justice how pink and "princessie" <--- not a real word.... BUT how cute the main floor was decorated. Tissue pom poms, banners, "princess" balloons, diamonds, flowers ect.. covered the main floor. Hailyn loved it, which made it all worth while! ---am I the only one that LOVES kids birthdays?? Seriously how fun is it to throw your kids birthday parties? they feel so special, and the day is all about them, PLUS we get the fun job of arranging and throwing a party, I really do love it, and I know I will love it more and more as they get even older and we can expand what we are able to do. But back to her party..

Hailyn got to pick who she wanted to come to her party, a couple of the girls were not able to come (we missed you Georgia, Brooklyn and Talia!!) But luckily Presley, Paytin, Cosette, Khloe, Brittyn (we'd really like to keep Brittyn, she's such a great help!) and of course Rylee were able to come and celebrate Hailyns special day.

We started off the day by having mini manicures, Brittyn helped me out and painted all of the girls fingernails with super sparkly nail polish, then after they were all dry we decorated princess crown sugar cookies with pink icing (which really was delicious) and sprinkles, m&m's and nerds, sprinkles were all over the main floor but I wouldn't expect anything less!!

After cookies were all beautiful we had bbq'd hot dogs, chips and sparkling princess juice in princess cups. Lunch was delicious (as delicious as hot dogs and chips can be) and then we opened presents-- Hailyn got super spoiled again and got wonderful presents (thanks everyone!). Presents were opened and then Happy Birthday was sang and candles were blew out.  The girls were sent home with giant Tangled colouring books as a thank you for sharing Hailyns special day.

It was such a fun time, giving Hailyn a special day was so much fun and I know she loved it! Happy 3rd Birthday!!!

First Royal Event

The first royal event has come to an end. It was quite an eventful day, a day fit for a princess. Princess Hailyn sure got the treatment, and I wouldn't have it any other way- nor would she!!

 We started the day off with delicious pink princess crown pancakes, with apple juice served in what we like to call "princess" cups

 Followed by the spectacular birthday bubble balloon bath! A tub full of balloons and bubbles, it sure doesn't get much better than that!!

 All dressed up for her birthday, it didn't last long, of course what would a royal event be without wearing a princess dress.. (i thought id try getting the birthday shirt on her!)

 no thats not editing, she had make-up on

 And then the dress.. What a perfect choice of outfit for bowling!

And then luckily after bowling I convinced the princess to put back on her other outfit for our dinner trip to McDonalds, followed by cake with everyone that could make it.

It was a perfect day for Hailyn, she woke up and was SO excited it was her birthday, and we did everything we could to make it a special day. She got super spoiled with tons of presents from my parents- i'm pretty sure I didn't need to buy her anything and she wouldn't have even noticed! But we did of course get her gifts, and tomorrow she will spend the day busy opening boxes and playing with everything. My princess was so tired after a long day she was asleep as soon as her royal head hit her pillow.

Hailyn is such a joy to have in our home, she is goofy, silly, sassy, smart, kind, helpful, beautiful, sweet and all in all just perfect. Happy 3rd birthday princess, although she says she is 5, she is my little girl and there is no way i'm going to let her grow up as fast as she would like!!

A Royal Party

It is almost my princesses 3rd birthday! Although she will say she is already 5 (apparently she was able to somehow skip a few years!) We did a fun little shoot for her invitations, I let her pick out whatever she wanted to wear-- no surprise what she picked!
Hailyn is so smart and so silly, she seriously says the funniest things all the time. She also has a little attitude on her, which makes her even more of a princess!! She loves to sing opera at the top of her lungs, and have her hair, make-up, and nails done. She loves jewellery, dresses, high heels and well everything girly!! She is such a great little girl, and we enjoy every min of her!!

she calls this one her "laughing picture"

this one is her "turning around smiling picture"

and haha she calls this one her "sweet smiling picture"

and here is the invite, minus our address.. 

Hailyn will be having (of course) a princess pampering party, where her little friends will come and be pampered for the afternoon and get the royal princess treatment! Its going to be a fun time!!  Were not 100% sure if it will be the 11th or 18th, but one of them it will be since her birthday is the 15th. 

Finally!!

When Rylee was born I made sure that I wrote down every little thing she did, when she did it and all the wonderful details. Then Hailyn came along and I got about half of it all, and now with poor Brenner I don't have any records at all. I feel so bad, he's 6 months old and I have nothing on what he's done and when. So heres me trying to catch up now:

 Brenner LOVES Rylee. When he hears her he gets so excited and not only is he her twin but he definitely has some connection with his big sister.
Brenner is now 6 months, he is 18 lbs and 11 oz, he no longer is off the charts like when he was a few months old, he's in the 75% in every area, so he's perfectly proportioned.
He rolled over a couple times when he was 3.5 months old and then didn't roll again for a month, he's now a pro roller and rolls all over the place to get where he wants to get. He also pushes himself backwards and pushes him self up like he wants to crawl
He loves to sit by himself and play toys
I cant explain how incredibly happy he is all day long, writing it down doesn't come close to explaining it. I could have 5 Brenners right now and it wouldn't be much work at all. He is seriously the absolutely perfect baby.
Brenner loves ALL food, he eats any and everything and loves it all! I love having a baby that isn't picky about food. He also got his first tooth when he turned 6 months, which is good- he needs lots of them to help with is love of food. He also likes to sit and pick up pieces of food himself.
He "talks" just as much as my girls did, maybe he sees what he has to compete with so he's starting now. He has said both "dada" and "momma" but obviously he had no clue what he was babbling about, but at least I know the words are in there!
He gives kisses-- he will look at you grab your face and open his mouth and go in for the kiss <-- thats easily one of my fav things he does!!
He loves to cuddle and suck his thumb, he's so sweet!!
Brenner is also very snoopy, he has to see whats going on at all times
Hes seriously the most perfect baby ever, not only is he super cute, he's so good and I couldn't be happier to have him in our family!

                   --- im sure I missed SO many things, but that at least sums it up for now---

Its also been super fun to have another baby added on Jordans side, its much more exciting not being the only one with kids. So little William was born and we LOVE him!!! 

And then theres all of them.. They are so naughty together, BUT they wouldn't survive without each other. Im pretty sure they were up in Heaven planning on when they were going to come down and made sure it was at the same time. When these girls are all older everyone better watch out, I have a feeling they my run the show. The 2 we will have to watch out for the most is Paytin and Hailyn, they look more like sisters and are way to much alike!! 

Kids Kids Kids

So I guess it is about time for a little update on our life here.. or well on my kids at least since thats all I talk about:

Rylee started Kindergarten, it was a month late since we were in Newfoundland but she is loving it and learning so much. She has actually taught me things about the moon I never knew... She is one smart little girl and not one bit a "girl" at all, she's so much into sports and nothing girly at all! She is SUCH a good helper with Brenner, she is easily the best big sister ever! She makes Brenner laugh more than anyone can, he loves Rylee and lights up when she comes around!!

Hailyn has multiple personalities, she is either Barbie, Rapunzel, Eva, Mom the list goes on and on.. She made a huge mess and when I asked her why she did that she replied with "It wasn't Hailyn, Eva did it" So she also blames her split personalities for the naughty things she does. She is so funny though, and definitely my little princess. She wakes up and needs her hair done, she wants pink eye shadow on her jewellery on and a princess dress on, and then she goes through out the day serenading us with her beautiful opera. Life definitely wouldn't be as exciting without Hailyn!

And then there is Brenner, oh Brenner how we love him SO much! I can not get enough of Brenner, he is the happiest baby ever and the cutest baby ever and my goodness typing about him makes me want to go wake him up and cuddle and kiss him. He is so big and I love every inch of his chubby body, he's definitely built just like all baby boys should be, nice and solid! Brenner has brought so much joy and love into our home, and our family needed a Brenner so bad and we are so blessed to have him in our lives. Brenner is a mini Rylee, he not only looks SO much like she did, but he hasn't stopped "talking" since he realized he could make noise. He will lay and blab on and on all day long, and I love it!

We have been blessed with 3 beautiful smart kids and after each one life just seems to have got that much more perfect. My house is never clean, never quiet but despite how crazy I feel at the end of every day, I wouldn't change anything!!

obsessed

Is everyone as obsessed with their babies as much as I am? There is seriously something about Brenner that I can not get enough of!!!! Maybe its his addictive smile or his bright blue eyes that are constantly bright and happy, or his perfectly cute face or his adorable laugh and super squishy chubby body, seriously the list just goes on and on and on. I can say I am so in love with my baby, he's perfect in every single way. He's bright and smart and could not be happier. Happy 3 Months Brenner!!
