Happy Birthday to the Leonhardt girlies

I can't even believe that the time has come to celebrate the Leonhardt girls birthday's again.  I remember last year, Char had separate parties, like 2 weeks apart (SUPER MAMA!).  This year she combined them and it was so so so cute.  It's hard to believe that Reese turned 5, it's just awareness that Mya is 3 months behind her too, WAH!  It's also hard to believe that my little god daughter turned 2.  Where is this time going???  The babies are becoming children.  We're gonna start to need more babies around!  Someone nee

Char threw an AMAZING mermaid party at the indoor swimming center she's had parties at before.  The kids always LOVE it and the parents (mom's) always wanna kill Char for making them put bathing suits on when we're pale, not feeling hot and cold!  LOL!  But you know we love you mama and seeing how happy and how much fun the kids have makes it all worth it. 

We had some water issues in our house so Ry wasn't able to make it, which means I got zero pics from the pool.  But here are some pics of Char's decorations.  You need to be a party planner in your next life girl (or this life, it's never too late), her decorations are always looking like they were straight out of magazines!  LOVE!

 The amazing cupcakes, with whale tales sticking out of them.

 favors, yummy marshmallow sticks...

 The perfectly simple and so adorable cake.

 My beautiful 2 year old god daughter who I could hardly get a picture of because she was running around non stop!  Gotta love her and those amazingly delicious cheeks!

 Brookie and her beautiful mama.

 Brookie and Eva were playing so much, it was adorable watching them run around like crazy after this balloon.

Her signature under bite smile, just like a bulldog.  We're working on this.

 The balloons were a hit!

 Waiting for it to drop in his hands.

 Auntie gave a marshmallow stick, she was beyond happy!

 Freaking EDIBLE!  I could kiss her ALL.DAY.LONG!

 2 things about this picture that I love.  The obvious adorableness of it, Brookie leaning in for the pic.  And I can't even get over how much taller Brookie is then the bite sized Kylie.  They're only 8 months apart! 

 Sand art time!

 Buddies.  Reesie wouldn't look at me for the pic....

 ...then Ash jumped in and Reese was crossing her eyes for the pic, LOL!

 I notice that there are lots of pics of Ash with different desserts.  What can I say, she likes her sweets.  The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

 The Leonhardt crew, plus a few extras in there!

 Happy Birthday dear Brookie and Reesie.....

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUUUU!!!!!

 Brookie's turn with the sand.  Fill it up, pour it out, fill it up pour it out....We could have done this all day long!

 Happy with her pinata goodies. 

We had such a great time.  Hope you had a very very happy birthday my 2 little loves.  Auntie loves you so much. 



Happy Birthday Babci!

Babci celebrated her birthday on the 21st.  Since it's a Tuesday we decided we'd go to celebrate with her on the weekend.  We went over this past Saturday.  I always love going to spend time with Babci.  She loves seeing the girls and the girls adore her.

We got there and she has so many pics throughout her house.  It's always so fun to look at them.  It's also amazing to see that, no matter what, Mya can tell the difference between Ryan and Michael!

I mean can you even take the cuteness of this picture?

 The twins and Babci, in tux and all, DYING!

 Time to sing Happy Birthday.  We picked up a yummy ice cream roll, cause who doesn't just love the ice cream and crunchies?! 

Happy Birthday to you!!!! 

 LOVE!

 Helping Babci make her wish.

They had us cracking up too.  Kept finding stuff and bringing it into the kitchen, all the while singing happy birthday to her! 

Round 100!

Happy Birthday Babci!  We had so much fun spending time with you.  Love you so much.  xoxo

December iphone dump - last of 2013!

My daughter is quite the fashionista.

She sure can pull off the print mixing pretty well.  And the lens-less glasses, she rocks it!

I can't!

This girl kills me.

At Nona and Dewey's enjoying her candy cane.

Sorry for this pic overload of her, she just had me dying!

Cousins playing.

They all love this horse Frank got for Mya when she was little.

And who doesn't like to jump on the bed?!

coloring time

Mya joined in.

a little peek-a-boo action

This month is going to bombarded with throwbacks, starting with this HS senior pic of yours truly.

Nothing is better then being able to relax and look at your Christmas tree, LOVE this time of the year.

My little sleepyhead.

Her eyes are just seriously amazing.

This child is obsessed with this leopard shirt.  She's her mama.

Just looks so old to me here.

Same day, I got a pic from Titi, someone got a booboo.  It was a school day and Mary said to her, we can go a little late so you can get yourself together and calm down.  Nope, she told Titi she couldn't be late for school.  That's all Ry!

So, of course Ash had to say she got a booboo, she got an ice pack (on a fake booboo) and an ice pop!

Wednesday night dinners at Nunu and PopPop's.

Mya's booboo a few days later.

Titi sent me this pic one day.

...and this one. 

My mom has saved a few toys from when we were kids and when they're bought out, it kills me to see the girls playing with them.  Like this horn set! Ash had us dying when she played it.

Met one of my Cali friends for dinner in Brooklyn one night.  Got to meet her sweet little angel, Everleigh, who I got to snuggle with while she napped it the restaurant we went to.

So much fun!

Can't wait for another meet up, next time in Cali!

My phone got jacked.

Throwback.  Wow, Ry looks like a baby here.

I absolutely remember this day.  We went and had a picnic at Colonial park.  so much fun!

This girl kills me sometimes. 

Snow day and Ash didn't want to come inside when we got home.

But once we did get inside we baked some banana bread, YUMMY!

Santa throwback....

...times 2!

The amazing banana choc chip muffins we made.  Recipe c/o Charity!

One night the girls asked if we could have a fire and roast marshmallows.  Ry, being super creative, made it happen!  They were thrilled.

Bed hogs!

Dr Booker and Nurse Kara at it again!

Mya and Jojo.  The girls have gotten so much time to play with him this month, love it!

CANNOT TAKE IT!

Barnes & Noble with Titi.

This kid!

A cute mask Aunt Anne sent for the girls.  THANKS!

Tuesday night dinner with the Duprees, this girl kills me with her figure.  I want to gobble her up!

Christmas arts and crafts one fine day.

Ash is very good about going to the bathroom.  I never have to ask her to go, I never have to worry about any accidents, she just goes when she has to.  One day I caught her, she is like a grown man!

MELT.MY.HEART!

best buddies

Mya made a card for Ry and I.  Complete with candy canes in the shape of a heart.  LOVE!

Yup, this happened.  Ryan's entire back windshield shattered.  It was so scary and just CRAZY!  And literally took FOREVER to fix.

Enjoying some warmer weather outside.

Mya is looking HUGE on her bike.  I think she needs a bigger one for her birthday.

Bike riding, followed by coloring outside on the sled.

tracing hands

Making gingerbread houses one night.

Ash and Ry did one together cause all Ash really wanted to do was to eat it.

Nothing crazy, next year I wanna get a fancy one. 

Allowing them to open some early Christmas gifts from my co-workers!  Making them smile for a pic first though.

Building forts in their room, always a good time.

My favorite from this Christmas.  It's the girls thumb prints.  I wanted them to do these for everyone, but they didn't want to do more than one of the same.

This just kills me.  All she wanted for Christmas was a rainbow book bag and Rapunzel hair.  She was in heaven over the hair. 

Love this little bean sprout. 

Playing bed bugs with Nonna Nonna.

Loving this frozen castle.

Ryan told Mya and I to hold still one day and snapped this.  WOW, never realized I pay so much to match my girl!

Throw back of Michael and Frank in elementary school.  I thought it was Ryan, but my mom actually wrote the name on the back of this one.  So cute to see this pic! 

Halloween throwback!

One more from one of my birthday parties, LOL!!!! 

This girl...KILLS ME! 

Happy new year all.  Yes, it's almost February so I had to get this post in!  2014 is already shaping up to be a busy year.  xoxo
