Meet Justin Bieber

...Holding hands with overly- obsessed 3-year-old, Viviana.  She drew this picture of him at speech preschool and professed her love.  Her teachers just crack up at the things that come out of her mouth.  Giggly and giddy, 

"I want to hug him and and give him kisses... I wuv Justin Bieber. He's cute!"  

I think I have reason to fear...our 3-year-old is already boy crazy.  

We've been battling illness in our home.  The other day, Monson asked me if he had a fever... Viviana overheard and piped in, "Fever?  Bieber Fever?"  

She doesn't miss an opportunity to crank up his music or search & find his Never Say Never movie trailer video on an itouch.  Too much pop culture for a 3-year-old?  I think so.

Celebrate McKenzie.

We only do parties for our kids every 4 years or so.  McKenzie's last one had to be skipped because I was on bedrest with Viviana....   So this was her first party since she was FIVE.... 

Let the celebrations begin!  And I don't do small scale and simple when it comes to celebrations.   We had a ridiculously slim budget to work with.  

Feast your eyes.  It was so much fun to plan.... 

A delicious glitter party with a 

yummy cabochon accessory project.

They played a fun icebreaker game... there were about 20 questions written on that beach ball... they toss it, and whomever catches it has to answer the question their right thumb is sitting on.

Happy Birthday, Kenz!

New Quotables...

Izzie:  "When we are on the swings he just looks at me and so I look back.  Then I just looked at the sky cause I was kind of nervous.  I'm just gonna ask him if he likes me, cause I'm a lovely girl.  I know Ben likes me."  2/9/2011

Alexandra said, "Why can't girls be prophets?"  Isabella piped in, "Duh, because girls don't wear suits and ties! Plus girls are too loud and throw tantrums!"  3/6/11
