Fruit Flies

Time flies when you’re having fun…



Fruit flies like a banana.




Happy 65th Birthday SaSa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!






Amy and I hosted a surprise 65th birthday party for mom-- we had about 30 of her closest family and friends for cocktails and cake... and lots of other tasty food. The cake is a story for another post and unfortunately I didn't take a picture of the cake we ended up returning to get our $$ back-- yes, it was that bad... Anyway, it was a fun party (what party with mom isn't fun?) and I am glad we pulled off the surprise!!!

Twins!

Congratulations to the Wagner family!

Julie, Steve, Zachary, and now Zoe and Zane!!!

I can't believe you carried 2 full-size babies in your belly!

Zoe, weighing in at 6 lbs, 5 oz and Zane weighing in at 6 lbs, 1 oz....

I'm not sure which is which, but we love you all and cannot wait to meet the newest Wagners!!!!

Princes and Princesses

Happy Birthday Catherine!

In 6 short years you have become such a beautiful, sweet, loving and thoughtful young girl-- we are so proud of you!!! We love you so much!!!



The party was so much fun for every prince and princess. The tables were set with goblets for the snow cones, crowns or tiaras, and all sorts of goodies to enjoy. The table cloth had a toy castle with all of the pricesses, and when you touched a certain princess on the table cloth, it (the castle) told you something about her, and then you could play a guess the princess game... The cake was awesome, the pool and weather were perfect...

Here is the birthday princess, complete with tiara, and impressive Cinderella's Castle Cake!!!




And, in Cyndee party style, the party would not have been complete without the snow cone guy!



Here is Prince Wilson... don't be fooled... he didn't eat a bit of that lunch in front of him. What you cannot see in the picture is his very first snow cone, GREEN, in a cup in his lap. Between spoon, fork and straw-spoon thingy, he enjoyed the whole thing! (Lunch consisted of one chicken nugget and a big piece of Cinderella's castle!)


Another Cave party success!!!

It's a Girl!

Overdue Portraits!

My mom and I took Wilson and Alexandria to have some portraits made (Alexandria's first professional pictures... the poor neglected second child!). I knew I had to do it because the bonnet she wore for her Christening (only 4 weeks before) was getting too small.

I know where thes pictures are, so this is my first back-to-blogging post....
















Aren't they cute?

More to come.... soon!

No TV

Holy Moly! I wasn't even sure if I knew my username and password! I have given up television as an experiment, and I have become a much more productive person as a result. Thank goodness I have blogging to fall back on as a procrastination method...
