He could not love her more...

I love those lazy evenings before bed! Juliette wanted to read "Amelia Bedelia and the Baby" to her little brother. He was so smiley just hanging out with her. He actually was so happy he continued to lay on his back which he never does. He always wants to roll onto his stomach. 

Juliette then gave him some lessons on the "upward dog" Both babies are getting so strong and Tyler is almost crawling. He is "tripoding" and moving backwards but not forward yet. 

The best birthday a 7 year old could ask for!

We celebrated and celebrated and did some celebrating! It is so hard to believe that Juliette is 7 years old! She is truly turning into a little girl! The baby is slowly disappearing! 

We began with cupcakes for breakfast to celebrate this special girl!

We then went to lunch at California Dreaming - Juliette was SO excited that it was her special day. 

Here she is showing off her new special bracelet from Tessa. 

Let's see that new 7 year smile!

She received the most special present later that afternoon! All she wanted was a "fin fun meraid tail"... well she got one and she was one HAPPY little girl!

She could not wait to roll over right into the pool. The fins are real and you should see her swim with it on! Now she is in the house playing in it, trying to run away from the table during dinner to go put it on and even making sure it is right next to her bed while she is asleep. 

Tripp got a very special "unbirthday" present too. He got a new scooter! He was so excited and God help my poor house.... this guy has been cruising around the house and the walls all weekend! It's much more fun watching him laugh and giggle with excitement rather than worry about the marks on the wall. 

Her celebrations continued with her birthday party at Princess of Tides. This makes the 3rd annual party there. There seems to be no place that she would rather be - surrounded by Anna and Elsa, hair designed, nails painted, glitter in her hair, games with the Princesses, dancing and cupcakes....

I can understand why.

The party was precious and Tripp was so happy to have his friend Brooks at the party. They were the pirates and were thrilled with that. Of course all of the Princesses wanted to play with their swords. 

Tripp was actually shy around all of the girls and wanted to go home when we got there. It took some time for him to get comfortable and his sweet Sister even brought him up to pick out the tattoo that he wanted.  All the little girls tried to help him pick out the best one. It was adorable! He suddenly was not shy after that and had a wonderful time!

Mommy says, "Look at him... don't mess with that scary pirate!"

Daddy says, "Look at that metro pirate looking so fancy!" 

Too funny!

Happy Happy birthday sweet Princess!! Your Mommy, Daddy and brothers love you to the moon and back!

"Little Boy Blue..."

Little Boy Blue, come blow your horn.

The sheep's in the meadow, the cow's in the corn.

Where is the boy that looks after the sheep?

"He's under the haycock, fast asleep."

Will you wake him? "No, not I;

For if I do, he'll be sure to cry."

The original "Little Boy Blue"

A modern day "Little Boy Blue"... fast asleep under the dining room table

Swimming lessons with Mr. Bob wore him out... I found him here...

It's a twin thing!

Who needs a teething toy when you can find your brother's foot!

Thomas is quite patient as his brother chews on it.

Then we have dinner time entertainment. I never knew watching Mommy in the kitchen could be so interesting and entertaining!

Just more love shown by the TWINkies each day!

A visit with Ms. Alli

We had a super special day with a visit from Ms. Alli! Ms. Alli was our  Nanny when Tripp was an infant and Juliette was three. She helped us in the afternoons when I would get home from work. She just became a Mama and her little Benjamin and the twins are less than three weeks apart. 

We loved getting to visit and spend the afternoon together!

Frozen Camp

Juliette celebrated her fourth year of Princess camp at Princess of Tides. This year she chose the "Frozen" camp with her dear friend Avery from her class! They ahd so much fun. She was quick to report to me on the first day that they got to choose their team name. Juliette and Avery came up with the name "The Frozen Hearts." They enjoyed everything about the camp!

Thanks girls for another super fun week!

And he is in time out...

So do you see this little ray of sunshine? 

Yes, she is very sweet when she wants to be. She can be quite sassy too!

I look and being the oldest sibling (AND only girl) she and this little guy together plotted this...

They put their baby brother in time out. They thought if they faced him towards the corner he may get tired and want to go hushaby...

They were so surprised when they peaked and he...

Loved watching the wall... 

No Juliette and Tripp he did not mind it one bit. Matter of fact he knows that his life is going to be filled with pranks from his older siblings! He is learning young to take it like a man!
