Happy Birtheasterday!

As you all know this past weekend was Easter. But it just happened to fall on the same day as Paige's 2nd birthday as well. And if you're wondering why Easter was so early this year it's because it always falls on the Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox. Hasn't happened in 300 years and won't for another 275. Just thought that was interesting...

Anyways... we had a family Easter/Birthday Party Extravaganza on Saturday to kill two birds with one stone and boy did we have a rip roarin' good time! WooHoo! Warning: a plethora of pictures follow.

Paige's Pickle Dance

Opening some presents
Blowing out the candles
She had been anticipating eating the cupcake-cake since that morning when I was making it and nothing could stop her now... obviously.
One is NEVER enough.

Some easter egg dying fun.

What would Easter be without an Easter Egg Hunt?

Found another one

Must find more...

The kiddies showing off their loot.

Taking a much deserved break after all that partying!

And on Friday I woke up to my most wonderful hubby's doing of wrapped presents (matching paper and bags mind you) with an outfit ( maternity AND cute which is even hard for me) that he picked out all by himself for me to wear on our date that night for my birthday! What a champ.

And he also covered all of our walls with little notes of special memories of us and reasons he loves me. Talk about a winner! I am one lucky girl. So thanks to my prego horomones I was wandering our house all morning crying while reading the notes, with Paige just looking at me like, "What the heck Mom?" hahaha, what a sight.

Love affair with IKEA

I just want to publicly thank IKEA for letting me do this to Paige's room for less than 70 buckaroos. We wanted to give her some dress-up stuff for her birthday but a girl's gotta have somewhere to put her goods, right?

So much fun! She is very fond of admiring herself in the mirror. A little too fond...

And she also found her new best friend "Momu" while we were perusing. Seriously, they're inseparable.

I LOVE IKEA!! Thank you for letting a cheap mom such as I still be able to afford some cute decorations every now and then. Until we meet again. sigh...

My newlywed sister is late!

Haha, getting onto my blog that is. I'm so funny. This is a little behind schedule, but these are some pics form my sister Bridget's wedding last month. It was so much fun and she was absolutely GORGEOUS!!

Mom helping Bee get ready for pictures. What a pretty, pretty girl!

Sister group shot!
A little bit closer now.
All the crazy Bluth grandchildren - always an adventure.

"I'm a Husky Kid!"

I can finally take pictures again! HOOOORAAAAY!!!!! So now I feel like I have a purpose for blogging. Without further ado...

This weekend was Houston Elementary's (elementary school of yours truly) 20th anniversary carnival, so we decided to make a day out of it. It was a blast taking Paige around to all the different booths and games. I even got to see some of my old teachers which was so fun - crazy how the time has passed. I'm officially old. However, a true Houston Huskie Kid FOREVER!! Hahaha!

Wait a minute... so our mascot is the Husky, right? Well I just realized that myself and every other Houston attendee have been walking around all these years being so proud of calling ourselves the "Husky Kids". Now whoever thought of that mascot should have done a little more research. Sheesh.

One very excited Houston Husky... really, I was pumped.

Paige politely handing her ticket in. Check out the other kid's face.


Rolling for a prize with Patrick.

We worked up quite an appetite, and who doesn't love carnival food??? Paige downed her pizza and was making eyes at Patrick's burger and chips... he's a softy.

Paige was so excited about her prizes! She was one heck of a player.
