Memorial weekend

Julianna hates the splits

Julianna, you have been doing gymnastics on the CAT team for almost a year now and you are doing great! You are the youngest one on the team but you are hanging in there and keeping up with the older girls. The one thing you really hate is the splits. Sometimes you even cry when you do them. Luckily, you will get your splits soon and they won't hurt anymore.

Julianna's 5th birthday

Julianna, today we had a little BBQ to celebrate your 5th birthday. We had a few friends over and had a very nice time. It was so cute to see you have so much fun and to really enjoy yourself. You have grown up so much and are just so pretty and just adorable. It makes me so happy yo just see you happy. This was a great day!

Karina

My little Karina, you are so grown up now.  You are speaking so well and you are acting like a little girl.  You love to play with your sisters.  Your favorite TV show is Peppa Pig.  You watch it every day and even snort like Peppa the pig.  Its so cute.  You love to dance and run around.  You also love to scream very very loud.  That is not your best quality :/ I am having so much fun watching you grow!

Christmas in February with the Alvas

We didnt get to spend Christmas or New Years with the Alvas this year because we were all out of town. Unfortunately, we had to wait until February to see each other because the Alva clan was sick for most of January. So, on February 10th, the Alva clan came over and we had a blast. The girls played until the very last minute, we didn't have too many dramatic moments and we got to spend quality time with everyone. It was a great Sunday!

New Baby

Julianna's friend from infancy now has a newly adopted little baby brother. His name is Oliver and he is so cute! The girls now have a new little friend to add to the group.

My party

Yesterday was my 40th bday party at our house. I invited my close friends and family over and had a very enjoyable evening. Everyone hung out and mingled, had lots of drinks and lots of delicious food and desserts. I couldn't have asked for a better evening.
