Birthday Celebrations

Our cousins came to Arizona for a weekend, and while they were here we decided to celebrate Flannery's and Danica's upcoming birthdays. Here are some pictures of the festivities:

Danica's first Happy Birthday hat--I am not too sure if she likes it:

Finally proof that I am not making it up--she really does walk everywhere:

Danica playing the baby piano that I played as a kid while petting the bear she got for her birthday:
I know a picture is worth 1000 words--but I really think you need to see the video to get the full experience of Danica's musical expression:

And of course her Jerry Lee Lewis impression:

ummm...better late then never

I am in a lot of trouble...not that this is anything particularly new for me but since this is the first time I have been in trouble with a blog, I am sharing the experience with all of you. See my Aunt Shirley (you have heard a lot about her in this blog--she is quite good at spoiling the baby) made it very clear that I would be in a lot of trouble if I forgot the importance of Tuesday, June 3. And really it is a monumental day. And guess what...yes you guessed it I forgot--It was Emerson's birthday.


So as my repentence I decided to share with everyone the very cute pictures I have from the wedding of my very cute cousin whose birthday I forgot. I hope he enjoys seeing his picture all over the blog and can forgive a poor pregnant woman for being forgetful (I have heard forgetfulness is an unfortunate side effect of being pregnant, so I am blaming it on the pregnancy).


And I am glad to hear from my cousin's blog, that her son had a wonderful birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMERSON!!

An Overdue Thank You

My incredibly generous cousin sent me some cute things for the baby. But since I have been working like a crazy woman (what can I say--I am racking up the comp time, it may come in handy later...hehe) I haven't been able to thank her. Of course she may not have noticed as much since she is busy preparing for her trip to Wyoming, but still I don't want her to post something on her return to remind me that I didn't properly thank her. My cousin has quite a way with words...hehe (now I am in for it--nothing by love for you Bradi).

And since I mentioned her trip to Wyoming I want to send out a congratulations to my incredibly smart and accomplished cousin Cody who is graduating from Law School. I am only hoping that the next car accident I am ever in (knocking on wood now) Cody can send a letter to make the insurance company play nice. Isn't that what lawyers in the family are for? I would add a picture of my cousin, but I don't have any on my computer. But next time I am at my dad's I will see if I can find a good picture to add so everyone can see what the future lawyer looks (looked--depending on the picture I find...hehe) like.

I hope everyone has a great time in Wyoming and I hope I get to hear about it all very soon.
