Burp Cloths by LaLa Petites!

I'm so excited to be making these ribbon burp cloths! Aren't they so cute?! I just up and decided one day that I need to share the wealth of my designs and that is where LaLa Petites came from. My lovely most beautiful daughter is named Mykayla, as you all know, and her crazy brothers could only say LaLa instead of her name. So, that is how I got the name La La Petites, because she is so small! I'm a genius... okay, not really, I had the help my my husband, sister, and mother. But I must say so my self that it turned out pretty swell!

Thing 1 & Thing 2 Birthday!

Thing 1 & Thing 2
Have Invited You
To Help Them Celebrate
As They Turn Two!

So... It took me awhile to collect all the pictures but on the 10th of October my husband and I threw the twins a Thing 1 and Thing 2 themed birthday. Of course I always pick themes that there is nothing to find for in the stores or online so all that you see came from my head.

I love the way the invitations turned out! They took me a bit to get but once I got the hang of it it was smooth sailing from there... yeah right!

I decided to have a candy buffet/bar and am so glad I did! We had gumballs, m&m's, paper dots, and I made marshmallow pops too. I must say that I'm quite proud of how well it turned out!!!

We ordered the cake from Frosted Bakery http://www.frostedbakeryonline.com/ and it tasted so good! The fish bowl was made out of rice krispies and the inside of the cake was blue and red!! Yummy!!! Everybody loved, loved, loved the way the cake looked and tasted. So did I! YUMMY!

They also made two "smashbox" cakes for the boys.

We also got them a big ball pit with so many balls!! It was such a hit!

Even the adults loved the train! Hey, we're all kids at heart right?!

I made all the Thank You buckets too and am so glad that I made a few extra because I almost ran out!

I'm beyond thrilled the way it all turned out! When it was all over I so passed out on the couch! LOL! Here are a few more pictures from the party! Many thanks to all who came!! Check out my mothers blog http://boneheadstudio.blogspot.com/2009/10/what-would-you-do.html she did an awesome rhyme to go with her set of pictures from the birthday! Hope you enjoy!

Mod Podge Blocks!

I found this really easy DIY Baby Wooden Blocks on the Martha Stewart website http://www.marthastewart.com/article/baby-wooden-blocks and decided to give it a try myself for my Mykayla. It was very easy to do and I used a glue called Mod Podge. It is awesome and works for everything! I just cut out the letters of her name and then her birthday along with some stars, flowers, and moons. I think I will try my twins names next!

Family Photos with http://englexasphotography.com/blog/

We have finally gotten up the courage to get family photos done and we are so glad we did! We have found a photographer named Debbie Mayes of Englexas Photography. She is such a wonderful photographer! She is only 24 and is better than every other photographer that I have ever looked up. The boys, who never take to anyone, EVER, went right up to her. She had them laughing and playing and running around as if they had known her and had seen her everyday before. I cannot praise Debbie enough for such beautiful pictures, and this is only our sneek peek. If you are looking for a photographer, she is the one you need to use. Here is a link to her blog so that you can see just how good she is and a larger picture of ours.

First Day of Preschool!

So Jason and I decided that the boys needed a little more interaction with other children their age and have choosen to put them in a two day a week preschool. Very sad indeed because this means my boys are no longer babies. What happened to my little baby boys? They are growing up a little too fast. To my joy they did not want to be left in the class room and kept calling out to MaMa. Yeah!!! They are still my babies!! Each day has been a little different though. The first day they did not cry till I got them in the room and now all I have to do is pull up and they know where we are and are screaming no. But they will eventually not even know I'm gone.

San Antonio Trip

So Jason and I decided to go to San Antonio for a late anniversary getaway, but Little Miss had to come along. The boys got to hang out with our friends Sheena and Jullian for a few days while we toured San Antonio. It was all our first time being there and quite an experience. We stayed at the Inn on the Riverwalk, which was a very nice bed and breakfast. Miss Mykayla modeled our bed for us and isn't it so cozy looking?

We decided to try out the zoo before we went to dinner and man it was so hot! I think we spent more time trying to hide from the sun than looking at the animals! The indoor aquarium was nice and cool though!

Next up was dinner at a place called Boudros and it was on the Riverwalk. The food and service was so great and such a change from all the other places we've ever eatin at. If you go to San Antonio you have to eat here and you have to have their strawberry mojito! Little Miss Mykayla got to show off her new hair bow and I must say she looked very "Couture"! LOL

The next day we went walking down the riverwalk and tried out the mall since it was much cooler in there. We decided to get Mykayla's ears pierced and I must say that she was a trooper. Doesn't she look so cute!

We finally got someone to take a picture of the two of us while Mykayla was asleep in the stroller!

At lunch Miss Mykayla decided to be funny stick her tongue out at us, I got it on camera along with a few others that day.

All in all the trip was great and we managed to beat the rain clouds that were rolling in as we left. I can't wait for our next trip and to be able to take my crazy boys along with!
