BriAnn's B-day Party, and my awesome bro!

As mentioned earlier, yesterday we had BriAnn's 4th Birthday party. She really doesn't turn 4 until Oct. 13th, but seeing that A) I'm due on the 5th of Oct. and B) I ALWAYS deliver late....I wasn't up for the challenge of throwing together a party with a newborn. So to her, she is already 4. We are keeping it a secret that we will celebrate her real b-day party in a month. If I tell her now, I will hear a month of, "Is it my b-day yet?!" I think I will tell her the day of her real b-day. lol.

We had a Princess themed b-day party, and it was sooo much fun! When she had her 3rd b-day party a year ago...she was so shy and didn't want to interact at all. But she has really grown alot in a year, and they all had a blast!! Thank you to all of her friends for coming to her party!! She has been saying over and over again, "Mom, I had a really fun b-day party with my friends!" =O)

Ethan is just dying to go outside....

My 2 princesses waiting for their princess friends to arrive...

Pin the tail on the donkey...

Oh...look at those sweet, delicious cupcakes!!! *sigh* ;O)

A little dab on the lips....and that is about as far at BriAnn got with her cupcake. She is not a cake eating girl....

Emma on the other hand...well....need I say more?!

And Ethan was more about tearing it apart and making a mess rather than eating it....

Clearly, by the look on his face, he didn't think it was that good.

Ethan got his first fat lip today. Eran took him outside to play....and if you know Ethan, you know he doesn't just walk anywhere. Well...he crashed and burned on the sidewalk. You can't see it really well in the pics....but you can tell when he smiles that he's added some plump to his little smackers. Just in time to take him to the docs!! They always seem to get the worst owies right before they go to the doctors...and then they are all suspicious. Why is that?! lol.

And here are some pictures of my brother who is now serving oversea's in Bagram, Afganistan. I've always had an appreciation for the service that our soldiers are doing over there. But ever since my bro left to fight the war, that appreciation and gratitude (and worry) is so much deeper now! Please keep him in your prayers that he and his family, and all of the soldiers, will be safe!! WE LOVE YOU JEB!!

Here is Jeb, his gorgeous wife and daughter...

I am sooo dying to meet my way cute niece!!!
