We have a 4 year old!

Today our dear daughter turns 4!!!! We celebrated with an amazing party put on by my Mom. It was a Princess Tea Party, and it was sooooo cute! All the guests got dressed up in a princess dress. They started with a craft where they decorated a picture frame

with glittery stickers. The frame had a certificate of completion of Princess Level 1 and there was a place on the top of the frame to hold their tiara. After, they danced the princess freeze dance, and got lip gloss and shimmer dust when they froze. They also learned how to be a real prin
cess by learning how to sing and stay away from poison apples. All the guests had a chance to meet the Grand Duke and try on Cinderella's glass slipper. They also took a
ride in Cinderella's carriage and posed for some pictures. Rosie loved her little mermaid cake too!! It was a blast and Rosie got some awesome gifts (lucky girl).

Happy Birthday Princess Rosie!! Mommy and Daddy love you soooooo much!

Coming Soon..... Rosie's Birthday!

My baby is turning 4 soon and you know what that means.... PARTY TIME! Of course I've been planning her birthday for a year now and I already have her loot-bag stuff and guest list figured out. Rosie likes to plan ahead too. She's had her wish list all figured out since the summer. Here it is...
1. Pink or purple yoga mat
2. Jasmine Barbie
3. Pocahontas Barbie
4. John Smith (Barbie?)
5. Warm slippers that look like ballet slippers
6. Barbie car
7. New Clothes
8. Mega Crayola crayon pack (the one with like 100 colors)

I'm sure there's a few more things, but I can't remember right now. I'm sure she'll remind me as the time gets closer. I can't wait to post pictures of her big day :)

Me Ka Aloha (with love)

One More Year Until 30

Today is Dave's 29th birthday! I still feel like we're both 24 and recent college grads, but that's just not the case any more. It's crazy how time flies when you're having fun (or when you have three kids). To celebrate Dave's birthday we got together friends and family and enjoyed dinner, brownies and ice cream.

I normally wouldn't do this, but today I want to brag about the amazing things my husband has accomplished in his 29 years.

1. Straight A student in high school
2. Involved in many school committees and clubs including head prefect (I still don't know what that is, but apparently that is impressive)
3. Queen Venture Award (Canada's equivalent to Eagle Scout)
4. Biked a few times to Belleville area (about 20 hours on a bike at once!)
5. Served an honorable mission in Ukraine for 2 years
6. Fluent in English, French, Russian, and Ukrainian
7. Served as Assistant to the Mission President
8. Won the Garfield Weston Merritt National Scholarship
9. Graduated College with a 4.0 and runner up to the Silver Medal Award
10. Passed his CFP exam after the first attempt (most people fail once or twice)
11. Started his own company that has gone from zero to over a million dollar company in 2 years
12. Also started his own wealth management company that is growing rapidly
13. Teaches early morning seminary each day and the students love him
14. Does all these things while being an amazing husband and father of three very young children

I love you Dave!! Thank you for being one of the main sources of happiness in my life! Happy Birthday :)

Pictures from Joseph's Party

Here's some pictures from Joseph's 1st birthday party. I don't have any pictures of the puppet show because we were all too busy enjoying the show to take pictures. Just take my word for it, the show was really fun!

It was really hot that day and the icing started to melt :(

The cute birthday boy!

Loot Bags - filled with gummy fish, gummy sharks, bubbles, chocolate money (underwater treasure), under the sea stickers, glow sticks, lollipops, and more!

Clam Cookies

More Decorations!

The party was a lot of work and it turned out GREAT! Everyone had a great time, there was more than enough food, and the kids had a blast!
