6th Birthday Bash!

For Mia's 6th birthday Momma threw a blow out bash for the neighborhood!!  She had a snow cone truck come onto the street blaring Carribean music and everyone converged for a block party.  The kids raced their bikes and trikes, while the adults relaxed with a few cocktails.  The highlight was Mia's 'Wizard of Oz' cake, which is her most recent favorite movie.  It was truly a great day of fun!

Birthday Hostess!

Our plan was for Mia to hang out with her friends and enjoy a tasty slushy!  However, she had other plans...  She hopped inside the truck and spent an hour or so serving up tasty delights to all of her friends and neighbors!  She loved the action and everyone had an absolute blast!

Birthday Bash Hangover!

Apparently Big Boy had a little too much fun at Mia's birthday party...  Here he is literally passed out inside the soccer net in our neighbor's driveway!  Nothing like go hard & crash hard!!  He's a lot like Daddy...

Cupcake Party!

Momma hosted a special birthday party just for the girls from Mia's kindergarden class.  They went to a local bakery called Bertha's, and all learned how to make cupcakes!  Mia had so much fun, and got to decorate her own special birthday cupcakes...

Strange People!

I'm not really sure I can explain this picture...  Brandon put a bandana on and decided he was a naked pirate!  Not to be outdone, Aubrey took off all of her clothes and ran around the house screaming that she was naked.  Then, they decided to climb on the back of the tub and make faces at Daddy...  Funny thing is, this is one of their more sane and calm moments!  If only people could see what goes on behind closed doors.  Frightening!

Calling Buzz Light Year!

Big Boy was recently given a Buzz Light Year costume and, thanks god it's not summer, because he won't take it off!  The wings lights up, which he thinks is just the coolest thing...  That little boy is so sweet and handsome that it's impossible not to support his silliness!

Skiing in Colorado!

Once Mia got a taste of skiing in Flagstaff, she was dying to get out again! This past weekend Daddy had to host a company party in Colorado, so we took the opportunity to get her back on the slopes. Grammy & Papa were kind enough to watch the twins, so the three of us slipped away for a quick ski trip to Beaver Creek. Mia had a private lesson with a woman who couldn't believe her natural aptitude. After one run down the bunny hill she took Mia straight to the top of the mountain. Not only did she ride the high speed lift, but she spent the day hitting blues!! After lunch we all went back up together and it was surreal skiing challenging runs with her effortlessly tagging along... At one point I told her to make sure she stayed behind Daddy, and she told me to ski faster then!! We've got a ski bunny on our hands.

Quality Time!

Hanging with the midget in Colorado was an absolute blast! The midget isn't quite so small anymore... Mia has grown so tall this past year, and certainly knows exactly what she wants in every situation. We had late dinners, hung out on Club Level for snacks, and ran down the hallways of the Ritz like we owned the place! It was a party that we didn'y want to end.
