Happy Birthday Tamara!

Today was Tamara's 4th birthday party. Several months ago, I named off many birthday themes for this year's bday party and once again, she chose her favorite, Scooby Doo. Yes, last year's party was also Scooby Doo so this year's party was a little different... A Scooby Doo Mystery Party. After the party had started, the Birthday Phantom stole Tamara's birthday presents and the kids goody bags. The kids spent the day searching for clues to that would lead them to the presents and goody bags. I was a little nervous about how this mystery would work since the kids were so small but they all seemed to get it. I kept getting asked "when are we finding the next clue?" It was so cute. The party was a great success and everyone had fun, especially Tamara.




So happy!





Even had a Scooby Doo Bouncer

You're a Good Man Charlie Brown

One thing that Tamara loves is musicals and plays. She has now been to a total of 4 plays in her lifetime and has enjoyed them all. Today, we went to see "You're a Good Man Charlie Brown". Of course, Tamara's favorite character was Linus. As you can see, they have something in common, the BLANKET and the thumb. It was so cute. Tamara wanted to take a picture with her favorite character. Take a look.

Nice greeting

Today when I pulled into my driveway, this is what i found. It was nice to see after having a sad day at work. For some reason, during Sept-Dec, our cancer kids at work get sicker and we have an increase in deaths. So I love coming home to my beautiful family and am so grateful that they are all healthy.

Our new bath-time

I always knew that my kids would be taking their baths together but I didnt think it would be in the BABY tub. My goodness.


Yes, they both fit in the baby tub.




Oh no! We've been caught. The beginning of trouble.

Happy Birthday Robert

My best friend turned 35 today and we celebrated by spending some quality family time with just us, our little family. We went to eat at some not so fancy restaurant (his choice) and came home to some delicious bannana cream pie. Happy birthday honey. Thank you for being a great husband. Looking forward to another great year together.


Yum Yum!
