Party like it's her Birthday!

So she made it, it's official Coco is now 7 years old!! Her birhtday is today, and I swear she grew a foot over night!! We actually celebrated her big day on Monday because dad is out of town today, But we still gonna party because it is her birthday afterall!! I just dropped off the requested donuts to her class and tonight I am taking her and Annie and a friend to see Highschool Musical 3 and to Panda Express! Total Girls night out!!! I just have to figure out what to do with that boy, Bartel.... So A little about Coco: Coco is very spirited from the very beginning she was raring to go. She was born a month early and just as perfect as she is today. And secretly, she was my most beautiful baby.sshhhh. When the Dr. handed her to me I almost handed her back because she was so different looking from my son. She was way dark and had this huge dimple in her chin, which I love and kiss all the time. She was so cute!! She got her nickname "coco" early on from Bartel. They are only 14 months apart and Bartel couldn't say Chloe, so he called her "coco" and it's stuck. And she is such a Coco.
Coco, I want you to know, that I am so happy you belong to me. Your daddy and I love you so much. You are such a good girl and so sweet even when others, who shall remain nameless..(Bartel, Annie) gang up on you. You are so smart and funny, and just a joy to be around. I know I get frustarated with you and your easily distracted little mind, but if that's the worst of you, then I'm pretty lucky. You are so kind and full of love and forgiving. You have so much love in your little body, I know you can hardly contain it, because you are constantly giving out hugs and kisses like there's no tomorrow. What a blessing you are in my life, I'm so glad to be your mommy, I love that you love me so much, your always telling me how beautiful I am and how I'm the best mom ever. Even the other day when I asked what I could do to be a better mom, you had no improvements to offer. And we all know I am so flawed... But you think I am perfect and you just overlook those flaws. I love you and your tender little heart, you are sucha good sister and daughter, and sometimes I probably don't deserve you. Thank you for being mine. I love you more then I can express and I hope you know that and that I am able to show you everyday, like you do to me... Love Mom -the luckiest mom in the world.

Pictures at last!!

Coco wanted to take pictures and lucky me, I was her model...now you can all feel better about yourselves!

I call this ignorance is bliss...Bartel loves his encylopedia books. The only problem is he learns a little too much sometimes. He recently discovered the world of "bed bugs" And now this is where he has been sleeping the past 2 weeks....

Comfy Bartel? Knowledge was not power in this case...Remind me to take those dang books away!

I love Halloween. And my sweet mom was kind enough to make the girls their costumes this year. Bartel wanted to be a grim reaper (again) so i told him he could wear on old costume. Well about 2 nights before Halloween he tells me he wants to be swamp thing! As if! So I talked him into a ghost. I bought a sheet cut 2 holes (which was harder then it sounds) then bartel asked me to sew black netting inside for the dark eyes...How about no. SO I bought sunglasses and glued them inside.It seemed to work and he was happy. The girls looked so cute. Coco was a 50's diner waitress and Annie a beautiful princess. Thank you so much grandma Kimmy, your're the best!!

A birthday dress up dress for Annie! My friend Tatum helped me make this it turned out so cute! I'm making one for coco too shhh! Her's will be brown and champagne with pink flowers!

I don't know how this happened just turn your head for the full effect.

Girls day out.

Coco was being picked on by other children (her brother and sister) so she needed some TLC. And annie fell apart, when she found out she couldn't go because she wasn't nice. She said sorry and promised to be sweet and coco was more then happy to forgive and invite her along. Coco is a sweet girl.

We had lots of web for Halloween this year and creepy bats too..I haven't taken it down yet either!! My kids asked if I was going to take it down today...Fine.... party poopers!

My little Annie turned 3. I can hardly believe it. She was very specific about her cake like Bartel. She wanted a pink and orange cake. She had a good day I think. She got to pick out dinner (chicken casserole one of her fav's) and then have a family party. Then on her actual birthday she went to school and passed out treats and then mommy took her for pizza and to pick out some lip glosses then Chuck E. Cheese for dinner!! What a week! Annie we sure love you and are so glad you belong to us, you make us smile so much!!

Annie and Grandma Deb on her birthday!

Coco's Hannah Montana Do before we cut it (sob, sob). But she sure looks cute with shorter hair too! But she all of the sudden looks tall and older!!!
