Ice Cream, Cookies, and Cake = MESS!!!

Dorian's First Manicure

I went out with a friend to get a pedicure the other day. We had an "okay" time, the place we went to wasn't the greatest, but it was girl time with out kids for a few hours so we we had fun!!! No more than 30 seconds of me walking through the doors when I got home Dorian noticed my toe nails were painted. She couldn't get over that there were colors on my nails. She couldn't stop touching them and talking about the color...it was amazing how in 'awe' she was!

So with this Niles suggested to her that maybe she might want color on her nails!?!?!?! I wasn't so sure of this idea but let him "try" to put nail polish on her nails. Come to find out we have not a single bottle of nail polish in the house. Well, now Dorian is very adamant that she get some color on her nails and, well, she was NOT about to wait for it! ha ha So we piled in the car and headed to walmart to get some nail polish. Dorian picked her own colors out and she was very happy about this. I'll give you one guess which color she picked.....PINK!

As soon as we got home Niles told her to sit up at the table and he would paint her fingers. Now this could go one of two ways. Either Dorian is going to not be able to stop touching the wet paint that it would be impossible for the paint to dry and she wouldn't be able to get her nails done. It is in Dorian's nature to NOT be able to sit still for longer than a fragment of a second, so this is how I had foreseen this event going. OR Dorian would sit there in a amazement of her getting beautified and her nails would get painted.

I was totally wrong. She sat there for a solid five minutes, long enough for Daddy to paint her nails (one coat). She STILL has the paint on her nails and shows them to EVERYONE!!! She says "pretty hands", and holds them out to show her color off. If you ask her what color it is she has on her nails she will tell you very loudly...PINK!!! ha ha ha

Dorian is very proud of her pink finger nails!!!! and I am Amazed that Daddy pulled it off!! I underestimated the situation!!! Dorian is becoming a pretty pretty princess!!! ha ha ha

Addeline's First Birthday

Our Sweet Addeline turned one today!!!! She is such a big girl now! We had an awesome day. We spent all day outside playing and cooking out and having so much fun. Dorian was in her glory! She was able to color and run around and be outside with no boundaries! Addeline followed Dorian around like always and had a blast following in her footsteps!

Our AMAZING babysitter and friend also had a birthday today so her and her aunt (our neighbor) came to celebrate with us! Cyndi and Addeline both opened gifts and blew out their candles together!

Why is it so sad that your babies turn one?!?!?!! But I am sad!!! I am so sad she is not tiny any more and getting so big! It is such a joy to watch your kids grow up and see them change with each day. I wish for Addeline the world. I see each day how happy she is and the love she has for her family, it makes me so proud.

To Addeline...We LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!! I can't wait to see how what you learn and how you grow over the next years of your life!!! XOXOXOXO
