Leah Turns 6


Everyone always says this but I can't believe my little girl is six. She is beautiful, smart and creative - all in a little sassy package. Leah is an avid drawer and especially enjoys being in charge.

We have friend birthday parties every other year. This is Leah's off year so I took to get her nails done. It was so fun to have some girl time. She especially loved the spa pedicure.









The kids get to choose their cake for their birthday. It all started when my mom made me a Cookie Monster cake and I thought it was the greatest thing. Leah said that she wanted a Duke cake this year. After a lot of thought and web surfing this is what I came up with.


This one might have done me in! We might starting ordering the cake from Costco from now on.


















We always have the family over for cake. Grandma & Grandpa, Nonni & Bobpa, Josh's family and Loni's family were all here. It was a little sad when we had to cut off the dog's head in order to eat the cake.

This is Jared's first year in Cub Scouts. Once a month, the have a Pack Meeting where awards are given. He received his first badge this month, the Bobcat.


The mom receives a pin each time the Cub Scout receives a badge. All of you Eagle Scouts, go kiss your mothers. This is a lot of work!

Dress Up with the Dog!



My mom dropped off some of my old dance costumes (it was a brief period before soccer took over my life. This is what happened!



















I am told that we look a bit alike!
