Good Friends & Food!

my wonderful friends Kendra and Rich, who are about to have their own lil' cupcake...
came over and we had the most wonderful evening...(they are going to be amazing parents!)
it makes me realize just how powerful friends can be at pouring love into your life...

(if you are like me and only have a handful of friends that you talk to...please let me into your heart to be called your friend...our eyes don't need to meet, to fill each others lives with love)

not only brought their sweet, creative, and love filled hearts over...but they MADE and brought over homemade manicotti with HOMEMADE alfredo sauce...and marinara sauce

AND
they made cheesecake cupcakes...in this adorable cupcake stand...

 it was better than any dinner we could've eaten out!
I told them they need to open up a restaurant! And they are all natural, organic-y like me, so that makes it even better! ha ha

Alani and Blakey danced and sang songs for them...they are great "little" entertainers!

me and Jordan were eating some leftover manicotti then next day and he said:

"how is this soooo good!? This is the best italian food I've ever had!"

please look at this outfit they got lil' cupcake...! This is so cute, I wish is was in my size...like jammies! Rich said when he saw it, he said, "this is Kandee!"..hee hee hee...he was right! I love it!

I haven't had a fun night with friends and yummy food like that in a long time! It was so great!

I'm so excited I get to see my sister soon too!!! And she gets to see cupcake for the first time! yay!

huge love and cheesecake cupcakes, kandee

Look who's 6 weeks old!!!

we are all fancy in our fancy outfit to celebrate 6 weeks of cuddling!

look how far we've come since 1 week! We are big time now...smiling and well we won't be sitting for a while, but leaning on pillows...

I enjoy every moment of this angel....
She had a bath today...and I had a shower...so we're both smelling like flowers now!

I am so excited because I have friends coming over, yay!...and they are making dinner and cupcakes!
Friends and food...hooray!!!

off to go change a diaper.....hooray for sundays.....I love them!
diaper changing and baby holding...and not going outside for days...your kandee

Birthday Party Time!

nothing says fun like birthday parties on the weekend!
she is so excited to go to her friend's party...but even more excited her birthday is next month!

Alani picked her own party outfit, out her herself...it got even better when it was time to get a sweater!

what does every girl need to do before heading out to a party?!? get some nail polish on those fingers that are going to be holding "tails" to pin the tail on the donkey and maybe take a few swings at a pinata!

Alani is a girl after my own heart...she went right for the sparkle polish!

and a little baby sister looked on...
I was sandwiched in bed this morning as I tried to feed baby on my left side...and Blakey was snuzzled up to me on my left...a heavenly moment!

no matter how many times she wakes up a night...i see her little smile...and my heart shoots fireworks off in my heart...I love this new little face of love in our house!
birthday cake and sparkly polish!!!
your friend,
Kandee

woo hoo friday night!

me and little baby making a funny face....
I look so fancy because I put a little eyeshadow on...thinking I was going to have time to make a video...
that would be a big "wrong!"...ha ha ha
me and this little angel got little miniature amounts of sleep....
I think I got sleep from midnight til about 3 am...then we were up, up, and awake!
ha ha ha

to tell me how much she loves that we are "party" girl up all night (ha ha ha)...she gives me priceless baby smiles...that are worth every bit of sleeplessness, and pounding headache from lack of sleep... ha ha
I love this lil blessing...and I will gladly have rings bigger than those around saturn under my eyes...to be able to love this baby, and hold her, and nurse her, and walk her around...all night long!

When I was a teenager friday nights were so exciting...what will we do?! Even though my early teen years were spent at home watching TGIF (ha ha ha)...now I will be excited if something good is on tv and I'll get a few minutes of sleep!

cute blakey saying of the day:
he dropped his platic wrench on the floor and said, "sorry mom, I didn't mean to scare you!"...ha ha ha
I "yuv" him!

friday hooray! your friend Kandee

Rubber Ducky Your the One!

well instead of rubber duckies, we have rubber fish and Ariel!
It is bathtime this morning....where I sweat it out like a sauna...with the bathroom heater on to keep my little "fishies" warm!

some special "treats" that are served up at the "bath restaurant"....bathfoam in cups! you can't eat it, but it sure looks like it would be yummy if you could! ha ha ha

Elyse gets her own special princess bathtub...but she is sleeping in Nana's arms right now!

Sister time....little cupcake was smiling so big at BIG sister Alani this morning! Sister-in-jammies time!

off to go braid Alani's hair for school...and get lil Blaker dressed in his fireman shirt!
huge love from kandee in her jammies...(ha ha)

WE love ZEBRA PRINT!

this is little cupcake (yes even though she has her official name, Elyse...I call everything beside that...ha ha ha...cupcake, pumpkin, sweetheart, princess, lil' lady....)
and this is her favorite toy to look at...she loves this zebra!

pretty in pink!

little lady did want to sleep much yesterday...so we got to spend most of the entire day looking at each other....I love it....I will never get these tiny baby moments back ever again...
and even as tired as mama's get...
when she woke up ....I was so excited to see her precious face smiling at me!

the best job in the world is to be a mama!

love and zebra print...kandee

The Littlest Fashionista & Poop-clapping!

This is one of my favorite pictures of Alani...when she was smaller, (look and her little chubby toddler hands!)...
she had on my vintage high heels...
and some of my purses as well as hers!
I miss her little bob haircut too!...she is so precious to me!

This was a blog entry from my old blog I don't have anymore...but it was so precious I had to share it!

Alani asked me after she said goodnight......
"mom, is your bum-bum as gi-nan-tic as a monster"....
uh...i should hope not....

and earlier...while sitting on her royal-big-girl thrown...as I sat in the orange, plastic, little tykes chair, that she brought for me to sit on while she did her business...asked
"mom did you see that?"
me: what?
alani: i wiggle a little to get the poop out!

and yesterday she was testing another theory:
"mom did you hear me clap"
me: yes, i did
alani: I clap so that my poop will hear it and wanna come out!
even as i type this...I am laughing...
laughter heals the body and soul....so maybe I'll read it again...and picture my little Lanzi telling me these poop methods...very seriously...ha ha ha ha

happy first of March....I hope this made you laugh!
