Happy Belated Birtday Maria!

Yesterday was Maria's actual bday, but since she left for China last week, we actually celebrated it earlier. Below are pics from her bday party a few weeks ago at Shane and Maria's house.

This cute little girl is named Tru. She is probably the coolest 5 year old I've ever met. As soon as she was introduced to us, she said, "I have a boyfriend. He's 4 and I'm 5. I like him a lot...and... I love him a lot. " She helped me put sprinkles on the cupcakes and after I asked her what she wanted to do...she said, "I don't know...hang out?" So we hung out and played around Maria and Shane's house. :) It's fun to be a kid.

Maria, I know it's a little belated, but I hope you had a fabulous birthday in China! Come home soon...We miss you!

XOXO

Happy Birthday Linda!

Since a lot of Tom's co-workers are leaving for China today, we decided to celebrate a few birthdays last weekend. Last Friday, we celebrated Linda's birthday. We had fabulous food at this little Italian restaurant called Iorio and then we went out to the clubs. :) Today is Linda's actual birthday; therefore, I wanted to give a bday shout out! HAPPY BIRTHDAY LINDA!

Linda is on the left and Maria is on the right. :)

Linda and Maria making birthday wishes. (I'll post later about Maria's bday party)

This is the pic that I took after dinner.

This is the pic Tom took after I took the picture above. He told me to leave space and he would photoshop all of us onto one photo...no problem. Well...

This is the final product. Since Tom didn't see that I zoomed in for the picture I took...he had a hard time photoshopping me in. Oh well! :)

Happy Birthday Alicia!!!

I want to give a birthday shout out to Alicia. She is one of my dearest friends, and I wish I could be in Ohio with her to celebrate. Happy 24th sweetie!

March Birthdays (some missed and one just in time)

I'm pretty new to the blogging world, and since I posted adorable pictures of Kaitlyn, I thought it would be only fair to post some of the other March birthdays I missed and one I almost missed. EKkkk...Sorry!!

March 11- Johanna: Ya know it's the craziest thing...Jo and I have an adorable picture together where Jo was sitting on my lap and I was helping her with her shoes too! However, I went with the silly picture from the Sears shopping trip instead.

March 18- Momma (aka Millie P): My mom gave me a granny robe for Christmas so we could match. Adorable, I know...awww....

March 25- Jenny : Wooohooo.... Jenny is probably one of my most faithful blog readers. I had to give her a shout out! :)

Happy Birthday Ladies! Sorry for the belated birthday post...and whew..Jenny, you made it just in time! I didn't know if I wanted to do the whole birthday shout out thing, but it's a lot of fun... :)

Kaitlyn's 2nd Birthday (a few days late)

Aaaahhhhh...she's two! Can you believe it...and she'll be a big sister soon! SOoo CRAZY!! It's seems like yesterday I was holding the lil' peanut in my arms (and yes, she still looked big whenever I held her) *sigh*...

Enjoy the pics of this silly California girl...and check out Erika's Blog (link on the side bar of my blog, under "blog list") to see pictures of the big birthday!

Sometimes she likes to pinch. I usually respond by opening my mouth and pretending to devour her fingers.

Princess Kaitlyn

I'll let you in on a little secret...if Kaitlyn starts to get a little frustrated with you just distract her with a little tickle or flip her upside down. She'll forget....it's a fabulous trick.

In this pic, I am trying to put Kaitlyn's shoes on her. Sadly, this was probably the last time she can sit on my lap and I am able to stretch my arms to help with the shoes. As you can see, she's rather long...I'm fairly sure she will surpass me in height soon.

Happy Birthday Kaitlyn!!

xoxo,
Porkchop (Her new name for me...strange, but funny) :)
