Happy Happy Birthday Carter Dear....

Yesterday was my little Carter-Bug's birthday! I cannot believe he is two years old already -- my, how time flies.

 At this point he mostly wanted to watch Shrek 4 and suck his thumb.

 After he got the book open it was a different story.

 The solitary reason I posted this was because of his cute face :)

 This turned out to be his favorite present of the night.

 A ginormous dinosaur puzzle and a book from Uncle Jared and Aunt Rachelle. It's mostly entertained me, Wade and Conner so far.

The creepy monster cake I made. It was inspired by a darn cute hoodie that Grandma Farr gave Carter for his birthday.

Mmmmm.... monster spike tastes good! NOM NOM NOM!

Happy birthday, my cute little guy!

You've Had a Birthday, Shout Hooray...

Last year for Bella's birthday we had a huge spa party with lots of girls... we did their hair, painted their nails, walked a runway etc. My awesome mother and sisters-in-law came to help, but it was still a huge undertaking.... this year, I told Bella she could invite one friend and we would go out and do whatever she wanted.... she chose her cousin, Addison, and swimming. Addison brought her a unicorn Pillow-Pet which was the star of the show. Unfortunately, I have no idea where those pictures are, so you'll have to imagine her glee.

 Presents and Sour Patch Kids. I think Addison has the right idea.

 I cannnot believe ZhuZhu Pets need clothes.

 This is Sunday morning before church... her actual birthday. More clothes?!?!

 Sunday night at Grandma's. The Curtis granddaughters spent the next hour making jewelry for themselves and each other.

 ZhuZhus need a BALLROOM?!

Bella with her cake and her two ZhuZhus... one from Christmas and a new one for her birthday.

Bella, I love you so  much. You light up my life. I'm so glad I have a fun girl in the midst of all these boys.

Chance's 5th Symphony

Alright, alright... time to get caught up with all the stuff that's been happening here. Chance had an awesome orchestra concert last month and I've been meaning to post pictures! If you're wondering where Conner and Carter were, they both had horrible colds so they got to stay home and watch movies with orange juice and popcorn.

 Springville Jr. High 8th Grade Orchestra

 It was too crowded at the school to take a picture, so I made him pose for this one at home.

 And this is how we entertain kids while waiting for the concert to begin.

 They make icky faces and I take pictures.

 YUCK!
