Look out Brooke Shields!

Mallina is going to give you a run for your money!! The other day Mallina somehow found some of my make up and she expertly applied some eyebrows. She already was pretty blessed in that area (I'm going to have to start grooming her uni-brow sometime) but I guess she felt she needed a little more "oomph."

This is what her eyebrows look like normally

And after...she nicely extended and darkened the left one.


She wanted me to take a picture of her cheese too. :)

I've gotta do it...

I am so beyond the type of person to write something all mushy about her husband. I'm one of those really snarky people who only make fun of the people they love. My husband isn't overly mushy either, he believes that asking me what I want for Christmas/birthday/mother's day etc. then telling me I should go and buy it is the way to get those kinds of things done.

During Ieli's last visit home in January there was something we were watching, I really don't recall what it was, but someone received flowers. When we were dating Ieli and I talked about flowers once, and he very strongly told me that giving flowers is a stupid waste of money and they die anyway, so what was the point? That made me a tiny bit sad because I have NEVER gotten a big old bouquet of flowers before and I figured if we got married who would ever give me some? So while we were watching whatever we were watching, I looked over at him and said "Ahhhh, will you just ONCE, someday give me flowers? Just one time?" To which he then said "Ah, you just made me feel really bad, like you would never get the most important thing to you in your whole life." And I said "Good, you should feel bad." bwahaha!

So the week leading up to Valentines day I get a call from my silly husband asking me how he could get me some flowers...haha! I directed him to the Internet and on Valentines day this is what I got :)





I love that they are a little bit different than what you would expect from your love on Valentines day, roses are the traditional flower (which I love) but Tulips are so beautiful and orchids are so exotic...and they remind me of van Gogh. I think he chose the perfect flowers for me :)

And not only did he get me flowers I got TWO boxes of these:

Yes, those are chocolate covered strawberries. Too bad I decided to start my diet this week, huh? They are still considered a fruit, right? Even though they are mostly chocolate?

So, just so everyone knows, my husband is great (or maybe I'm just great at guilt trips...) He really works so HARD so I can stay at home with my girls. He loves me more than I ever thought anyone would, and he is the BEST daddy two little girls could ever ask for. THANK YOU BABE! I love you :)

Valentines Day 2009

I know I am posting way too much all at once, but when I get the chance/energy to do this I feel like I have to get everything done! I bought the girls these huge heart shaped lollipops forever ago and intended to have a photo shoot done WAY before Valentines day...yeah right. I should know myself better than that! But I am so proud of myself for finally getting it done! Here are a few of my favorite shots I got but there are plenty more in the slide show before this post. Enjoy!

Happy Valentines Day!

Tutu party!

Eva's two year tutu birthday party

So I had this crazy vision while planning Eva's birthday party. There were going to be 6 girls at the party (as well as two more baby girls) and I kept envisioning them running around in tutu's. My mom is always up for fun girlie, princess-y type of things so when I told her my idea she really ran with it. Oh my goodness was it kind of insane figuring out how to make tutu's! I got some instructions online and the first night we tried it my sister Jenny and I painstakingly cut each strip while mom trimmed up our jagged edges. We put together Eva's tutu and honestly we all wanted to be done with just that one! I did a little more reading online and discovered a MUCH easier way to cut the strips and we were done preparing the other 5 in no time. The night of the party was interesting to say the least. I was late getting to our apartment's office so we were locked out of the party room (grrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!) but we carried on outside. Each girl had someone helping them make their tutu (well, Malleri and Merissa who are 8 are really the only one's who helped make theirs!) but it went pretty fast and everyone said they really had a good time. The cutest thing I think was watching all of the girls walk through our apartments to get to our house for a potty break. Watching all of them walk with their tutu's on was priceless! Even though it was kind of insane organizing things and figuring out the best way to make the tutu's it was definitely worth it :) Here are some pictures from the party, enjoy!

Happy, happy birthday.....

EVA dear!!! My baby is two today! Daddy is here and so is grandma! We ate at Olive Garden...and they brought ice cream and sang to a very scared looking two year old! We are having a party on Saturday so I will post some pictures from that later. Here is a small trip down Evangeline's memory lane.
