Kylie's Half Birthday

My mom and I went to the cutest store in Highland called Dear Lizzies. They have tons of cute stuff and in the back they have a place to eat. It is the perfect place for a girls night out, with pink covered chairs and crystal chandeliers. They sell the cutest flower cupcakes, sugar cookies, and big lollipops for the kids. We were inspired with creativity after visiting that store.

I decided we would try to make flower cupcakes for Kylie's half birthday. Kylie is always asking when her birthday is. When we are saying goodnight she will often say, "Tomorrow's my birthday!" So Grandma Jackie and I decorated cupcakes all day, and then we had a little party. Not much of one. Marc wasn't even there, but Kylie loved it. Everyone enjoyed eating the cupcakes. It was a fun day!

Green Slime Tastes Good!

Does this look appetizing? Maybe it does with my great photography skills, but in real life it is bright green and scary. The kicker is it is healthy for you and tastes delicious! I got the idea from my brother Tyson and his wife Audra. They said they mixed pineapple juice and spinach in the blender. They said it was good, so I had to try it. I did and it tasted too healthy for me, so I added a banana, a handful of strawberries, and some ice. I created a healthy, tropical smoothie. You know it is good when your 3 year old says things like, "This is so good," and "Mmm this is delicious!" Kylie kept saying things like that as she ate it with a spoon. Kylie is eating vegetables and she likes it! So if you want to try it here is the recipe:

Tropical Spinach Smoothie
In blender mix:
3-4 cups spinach
1 banana
5-6 strawberries
1/2 c. ice
1/2- 1 c. Dole pineapple juice (the cheap brand was not sweet)
1/2 c. vanilla yogurt (opt.)

DisneyWorld

Last week we got back from a wonderful trip to Orlando, Florida. We went with my parents, and Tyson, Audra and baby London. It was so much fun to spend time with them and not worry about my kids. I am a huge Disney fan, so it was a dream come true vacation! Who doesn't want to be a princess and live happily ever after? I know I do and I have my prince to enjoy it with.

Kylie was so excited when we got home and had presents for her. She wore this dress everywhere for a week. It is a nightgown, but she loves to wear it anytime of day. Dash was excited to have us home too. He gave me lots of hugs. It was good for all of us to have a break from each other and realize how much we love each other.
