Birthdays

Our kids' birthdays are about as evenly spaced as they can get.  We start off with The Boy's birthday in March.  Three months later we celebrate Junebug's in June, followed (three months later) by The Queen's birthday in September.  You'd think with everything so evenly spaced I would have plenty of time to get things posted before the next one came up.  Seeing as I have 5 days left until The Queen's big day it's probably high time I get Junebug's documented.

I figure I only have a few years of picking her birthday cake.  I'm going with lady bugs for my Junebug as long as I can get away with it!

She absolutely LOVES this pizza.  She's seen Mommy make it at home and now she can too!

Puzzles from Boppa and Diyah (we've put these together about 3 billion times at this point)

Grandpa made her a dolly bed and Grandma made the bedding.  The Queen and Junebug like to put their babies to bed right next to each other.

Junebug at 2
Favorite TV show: Super Why and Elmo
Favorite Food: Macaroni and Cheese, Pizza, and "Honey Waddich" (honey sandwich)
Favorite Books: Hey, Pancakes! Hippos Go Berserk, Whopper Cake, and Falling for Rapunzel
Favorite Things To Do: Puzzles, Play with The Boy and The Queen and SCREAM!
She loves to cheer saying, "Hippee" instead of "Yippee."
She sometimes goes into nursery, throws her hands in the air and announces, "I here!"
She likes to let us all know that, "I did it!"

We sure love our little Junebug!  Happy Late Birthday!

Tune in next week for The Queen's Birthday (hopefully)!

I Owe This Girl A Birthday

Things started off well enough with a birthday party Saturday morning.  We had a pj party and the girls (and The Boy) enjoyed muffins and chocolate milk while watching a Hello Kitty show.  We then made the rounds with nail polish and Hello Kitty tattoos.

 

 

 Her birthday started with curlers and making her birthday cake.

 The Primary Program was that day and she enjoyed getting all dolled up (I enjoyed getting her dolled up too).  She was the star of the Sunbeam's song as she was just about the only one singing.  Have we mentioned how much she loves to sing?

 After church the combination of Diyah's stairs and the excitement of getting down them quickly resulted in a tumble.  She wasn't able to enjoy much of unwrapping presents or eating cake.

We did get a few smiles.

 

 

After it was clear she was not cheering up, we hustled to the Insta Care for some X-rays.  Turns out she buckled a bone in her arm (on her birthday, poor thing!).  The next day she chose a purple cast and here she is sporting it for her first day of Preschool. 

Her first day of school went well.  She didn't even want me to walk her to the door!  We got to do her spotlight and she is VERY excited to go back on Thursday.  Such a trooper!

Happy Birthday To You

Last week was Junebug's first birthday.  I tried to get a nice "sit down" shot of her at 1 year old.

So much for that.

Aunty Tena gave her a Kleenex box for her birthday.

It was the best gift of the night.

This is the first child I've had who's actually tried her first birthday cake!

She likes chocolate.

Only word: Mamma

Happy Birthday, Junebug!

Three and Counting

The Queen turned 3 last week.

Her highlights were helping to make her cake

and eating it.

This is the first birthday cake that has actually been eaten by the birthday kid. The Boy has yet to try a birthday cake and this was the first time The Queen ate hers. I think presents AFTER cake helps.

Favorite book: Pirates Don't Change Diapers

Every morning the first thing she says is, "Mom, it's morning in my window."

The Queen loves to dress up

Even at nap time.

She loves to help with jobs and nearly EVERY time she puts her shoes, sandals, etc. on, she gets them on the wrong feet.

We love you, honey! Happy Birthday!
