Clara's Birthday Party!

This picture is just proof that earlier in the day Clara didn't look like such a ragamuffin! ☺

 Crystal and Ashley were making cakes for an upcoming wedding and offered to bake a cake for me, which I was thrilled about, and then they ended up making a little cake and cupcakes too! That was a complete time savor for me. (Thanks ladies!)

 We went with the usual pizza party because we had a lot going on that weekend.

 I waited too long and all kids had left by the time I took this picture.

 The joy that is taking a family photo...

Ella turns TWO!

I think everyone could say this during the summer, but man, it's been crazy busy!

Ella's birthday was on Thursday and we had a little birthday pizza party for her.

Rainbow cupcakes and chocolate cupcakes

She was wanting to eat the frosting off of the cupcakes

Telling us how old she is

Chandra made all the pizza and Sharon helped me with the decorating, including frosting the cupcakes, and blowing up a million balloons. Thanks ladies!

Aidan wanted to blow out some candles too. =P

Some things about Ella.

-She's really into ruffly skirts

-She likes dessert ☺

-She likes to terrorize Aidan

-She's very "helpful"

-She's a good little mother, so I got her, her own baby.

-She LOVES being the center of attention, she'll be our next little performer

I can't tell if she has a favorite food yet, she's getting to the stage where they don't like to eat anything, but she loves homemade tortillas and Cafe Rio quesadillas.
