A day at Gymboree and a birthday party

This Saturday was a busy one! We had Gymboree music class followed by a 1 year old birthday party. So, we decided to dress up: Reese

Sloane

Brooks

2 year check-up

Well, we just had our 2 year check -up and here are the stats:

Brooks Logan weighs 23 lbs 4 oz and stands 33 14/ inches tall (Mommy's little boy)

Happy 2nd Birthday!

It is hard to believe that Brooks, Reese and Sloane are now 2 years old! Where did the time go? The trio had a birthday party this year with 20 of their friends! Yes, 20 toddlers! Here is Reese.....notice the last bite of cupcake along with the empty bag of Goldfish crackers.

Sloane loved her cupcake so much that she had icing all inside of her nose!

Brooks LOVES music.

Our little 2 year old children....all sitting in a row!

Our children together just days after they were born. They are so small!

Candace's 40th birthday

Well, I could not stop it from happening....I am officially 40 years old! (On December 29)
It was a good day....Steve gave me the "day off" to myself. I enjoyed a morning at the gym, followed by breakfast at home and then off to the nail salon. My day ended with a massage just before leaving for dinner.
Steve arranged for some friends of mine to meet us at a local Mexican restaurant. They made me wear this sombrero and dance with a salt and pepper shaker. Oh, they LOUDLY announced to the entire restaurant that I was 40 years old. It was hard to swallow, hearing it out loud. :) All in all, one of the best birthdays yet!

She was super fussy that day and it was not until I picked her up and loved on her that she settled on my shoulder. Betsy captured this photo while I was trying to calm Reese....such a loving moment. So please, pass this on to your friends....vote for picture number 6!
