matching...

i tend to "screen capture" my blog when the top photo matches my banner! like yesterday...

here's a couple more i had saved...

it's hard for me to have a general blog look...i love to change it up every month or so!

surprise...

anthony woke up and crawled straight to the kitchen...he remembered about his balloons!

his cheesy grin! always so happy!

i love these colors together! banner printables from house of 3.

birthday presents, one in the tissue paper is from grandma and grandpa.

all ready...

it's late, i am done cleaning the house, and i have everything ready for anthony's 1st birthday tomorrow! we are having it at the park close by right after church. i wanted to have it in the backyard, but with all these mosquitos here we would get eaten alive! poor anthony already has! if the girls leave the front door open he sneaks outside and plays in the flower pots and they attack him!

Gulianna's 4th birthday...

 All year long Gulianna's been saying that she wants to have "an aqua birthday party." At first she wanted a princess party, or a Tangled party, but then she kept insisting on an aqua birthday party. That is her favorite color!

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

She was sad because one of the balloons got loose and flew away!

She's also been waiting to open her presents...last month we were at the mall at stopped in at the Disney store {like last year!} and I saw that they had towels and swimsuit coverups on clearance again. She's already outgrown her one from last year, so I had Levi sneak and buy her one, she was already looking at them, I showed her the tinkerbell one, it was purple just like the one that she got last year, but a different style, and she immediately turned to the aqua one, and it had Ariel on it! She said "oh I wish I could get this aqua one!" So I took her to Tai Pan and looked around, while Levi bought her the Ariel swim towel and the cover up. I told him to hide it, but as soon as he came in looking for me, she spotted the bag. Then she got all excited, and I told her it was something else..."no dad bought me the aqua swim thing for my birthday! he did!" "No he didn't!" ahhh! so much for a surprise! 
 
She was excited for her candles and her birthday cake, but she got shy when we sang happy birthday to her!

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
"ahhhh! baby wipes for my birthday!"

 
 
"the Ariel towel!"

 
Isa tried to take away her second present, she thought it was for her...

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Colton and Claudia stopped by later, with a present from Grandma Cherrie. Gulianna got a cute little purse with some money in it from Grandma Cherrie, and a heart necklace that she likes to wear every day.

Somewhere in between playing around...Isa ended up in her swim suit, too funny!

 

 
Claudia got her some cute hello kitty pajamas and a little hello kitty back pack!

 
 
 
We had a good day with Gulianna, we were happy that Levi came home for her birthday! I can't believe that she is four now. She's always been very smart, very aware of everything. She's a good helper to me, she watches out for Isa and Anthony. She always says her prayers and reminds us to read our scriptures. She looks forward to going to her class on Sunday every week! She loves to dance and can't wait to go to school. She's been that way since she was tiny! As soon as we move, we will fit her in to a preschool and find a dance class for her...she asks me every day!

Mother's Day banner...

We got to my parent's house late last night right before midnight...only Anthony and RJ were still awake, playing PS3 of course. Actually my dad was awake too, working in the shop as always. I started making this banner {thanks Rhonna!}so that it was hanging up for my mom when she woke up in the morning!

All finished and hanging up...
