kate fashion

vanessa sent me these pictures from kate's birthday party. i couldn't resist putting them up with those poses!

morgan's bachelorette party

on saturday we had a fun family girl's night out for morgan. she is less than a week away from marrying austin in hawaii. we wanted to do a special bachelorette dinner for her and it was a great time. we went to brio at town square. after we went to mac and got some makeup, and morgan got to spend her victoria's secret giftcards she received at dinner. my mom told her she had to model all the "flannel pajamas" she would be buying. morgan's face was priceless.
kaila had her play a game where she had to guess answers about austin, and for every wrong answer she had to put a marshmallow in her mouth. lets just say it's a good thing kaila brought a jumbo sized bag :)


the whole group. we had such a good time

johnny's first day of school

how is it possible that my little brand-new baby is three and going to pre-school??? i don't get it. where does the time go? although it is sad to see them grow up, it is so much fun. he has been so cute lately. i wanted to write down a few cute things he has said lately.

when ever i get dressed for work or church he says, "mommy you look so cute"

when christine picked him up from school, he turned to kate and said " i missed you kate!"

every morning when he wakes up, the first thing he says is "mommy, i woke up dry! i sleep good"

he keeps talking about disneyland, so i let him look it up online. so now every day he goes to the computer and says, "mom, i need to go to disney dot com"

i just got out a few halloween decorations and he is obsessed with this candle that looks like a candy corn. he spent the night at my parents house last weekend and he packed it in his suitcase! i got a halloween magazine in the mail with a bunch of costumes and candy in it, and he sleeps next to it. every night before bed he says "read my halloween book" so we lay there and flip through the pages.

he is doing great in school so far and he loves his teacher. he is so proud to be a "big boy".

happy birthday kate!

on august 30 we celebrated kate's second birthday. the sunstrums had a fun family party for her the week before, and then the mitchell's did a family party on sunday. mommy made, what else, cupcakes.....she has gotten so sweet and sassy over the last year. her personality has really started to develop. she is so full of energy and so much fun! she got some new clothes, and a few fun play things. and thanks vanessa for "baby's first pair of true religion jeans" ummm, i don't even own true religion jeans.



kate was so darling when she opened her gifts. she said "OH MY GOSH" when she lifted out each item. it was a crack up.


daddy bought kate a cute dora car (which has been the center of many many sibling rivalry)

and he also got her a tinkerbell princess dress. what a cutie!
