3rd Birthday Party

This afternoon Matt & I threw Livi a birthday party, Toy Story themed. It was so much fun. I'm so tired, thinking early bedtime tonight. Livi turns three on Tuesday (and we'll be in sunny Phoenix Arizona I can't wait!) Can't believe she's going to be three. Wasn't she just a baby? Seems like it to me. We had about twenty five people over today for the party. So nice we live in a house where we have room to entertain. One of my oldest friends, Paul came over with his two boys and new wife. He's been stationed in Greece for over a year. It's great being able to spend time with him and his family. Livi had a blast and even though I'm completely exhausted after two days of non stop go, go, go for this party, it was so worth every minute.

Happy 3rd Birthday my sweet baby girl!

8 months

Wow, my little man is 8 months old. Just blows my mind how fast Gidian is growing!

Right now he's:

*Wearing 12-18 month size clothes. 12 months are almost too small.

* size 4 diapers

* Sleeping 8-10 hours at night, but if he rolls in his sleep onto his stomach he freaks and wont go back to sleep. Ugh... makes for a tired mommy.

*Drinking 8 oz of formula and eating baby food twice a day. Drinking water from sippy cups and he's always trying to snatch his sisters.

* Crawling now, and going everywhere!

* Still no teeth, but Livi didn't get any until 9 months and only had four by her first birthday.

There's more he's been up to, but I'm way to tired to try and think.

Just for fun

Halloween 2008 Livi's first dressed as Yoda. Gidian Halloween 2010

I must say both my babies make cute little Yoda's :)

Halloween 2010

We had so much fun today! Livi loved Halloween! She dressed as a Jedi and Gidian went as Yoda. (He used the costume Livi wore her first Halloween) We went up to South Hill Mall for about an hour did some Trick or Treating there and stopped by the Halloween store, because I had reserved some Toy Story displays for Livi's b-day party. Card board cut outs of some of the characters. Anyway I was told they couldn't give them out anymore, because the Spirit Halloween store was turning into a toy store with a Toy Story section so they'd be keeping the cut outs. I was bummed especially after Livi was so excited about it. On the way home we stopped by the Bonney Lake location and the manager hooked me up with what I needed. I was so happy! Livi was thrilled when I loaded them into the car. Once we got home Matt and I took Livi trick or treating around the block. She had a blast, she was running up to all the houses, pounded on the doors and yelled Trick or Treat. It was so much fun to watch her having such a great time.

Bib model

The kiddos and I modeled some products today for www.ladymdesigns.org Ian modeled two custom bibs and Livi and I modeled matching aprons. (I'll post our photos later) here's some of Ian's photos. Jennifer Tibbetts was the photographer, she post of facebook a couple weeks back that she needed a 7 month old little boy to model and I responded. Then she asked if Livi and I would be interested. We were going to do the photos last weekend, but it was pouring down rain. Then we planned for next Friday. The sun came out today so it was short notice, but we pulled it all together in under two hours.
