Perry's Birthday

Yesterday was Perry's 26th birthday! He isn't as excited about having pictures taken on his birthday as he is about taking pictures on the girls birthdays but I snapped this one as they were helping him blow out his candle. He only got 1 candle although he turned 26 instead I made him 26 funfetti cupcakes. However, by time the week is over I'm sure he will have eaten about 6 and me and the girls the other 20. Yummy. The girls couldn't wait to give him his presents. I tried to be a super good wify all day, I'm always a good wify ;) but for his birthday I was super good. He got like 3 massages and I made him a list of 26 things I loved about him, to bad he is only 26 it would have been easier if he were turning 100. We had a delicious steak dinner that he barbequed, that alone probably made his whole day. I love him and am so glad he has kept me around for 4 of his birthdays so far and can't wait to share many more with him.

Raya's Birthday

Yesterday was Raya's 1st birthday. I can't believe she is 1 already. She is my little angel and I couldn't be luckier to get to see her every day. She comes and gets me out of bed every morning just so happy to see me, how can a day not be wonderful after waking up to that smile.

As soon as she woke me up I told her happy birthday and got her crown so she could be the Birthday Queen but she wouldn't keep it on.

She enjoyed all her new things and couldn't get enought of her sunglasses.

So we took the girls to a splash pad in the morning and tried to make the day super fun for "Raya's Birthday" but I don't think she saw it any different from any other day until cake time. The cake definitely made the day special for her. (By the way it was free from Albertsons, a friend from my ward tipped me off that they give you a free cake for your baby's 1st birthday). Anyway, Eyla didn't even touch her cake on her 1st birthday, but Raya, well............you'll see.

Eyla's Birthday

Yesterday was Eyla's second birthday. First thing in the morning I gave her a Birthday Queen crown which she wore with pride. Then we went to the park so she could "slide slide" (she says almost all her words in doubles). After lunch and a nap she was ready to go again. We played the afternoon away like usual, reading, sidewalk chalk, watering the plants, and when we had down time she was so good and justed looked at her presents but didn't touch. Finally after a gourmet dinner of her favorite foods mac and cheese, hot dogs, and jello, we did the birthday stuff.

Her new bike, I know it seems big for her to have a 2 wheeler but she is actually pretty good at it. Whenever we went to the store to have her try out a tricycle she would have nothing to do with it and would walk over to the bikes instead, so it may take a little more work and time but she loves it and she'll be riding like crazy before we know it.

This is my favorite picture from her birthday because it shows exactly what kind of big sister she is. After she blew out her candles and tasted a big finger full of frosting she shared some with Raya. I loved it.

Her "I'll smile for you but I would much rather just keep eating my cake and ice-cream" face.

This is with all her loot. What you don't see she jammed in the little backpack she is wearing.

She absolutely loves her tea-party set and set a place at her little table for all four of us (me and Perry are just a little to big to sit at that table) but she showed Raya exactly where to sit and they just played like that all night.

First thing when she got up this morning she was cooking and pretending it is so cute. When we got ready for the day after I did her hair she applied her make-up, thanks Aunt Cindy, The cute thing is I didn't even have to remind her about it, she just went and got it and wanted to put in on to complete her getting ready. She has spent tons of time out on her bike, Perry is so cute trying to teach her how to make her legs go around.

Can't wait till next week.....

Happy Mothers Day Me

Besides Perry here are my other 2 bestest friends in the whole world. I am so lucky have these beautiful and sweet angels part of my life. It's like everyday is Mothers Day.
