Ethan's Birthday

Don't forget to check out the poll to the right and vote:)

Here He Is! The Birthday Boy! It's so hard to believe that it's already been a year...he is a joy to have around and we don't know what we'd do without him...well, maybe get more done and we wouldn't have to keep our games out of his reach and we wouldn't have to lock all the cabinets and...:)

Here's the bathtub cake that I made for Ethan. The water is made of blue jello and the handles are made of marshmallows:) It was fun and easy....www.familyfun.com has a lot of cute projects, cakes, and treats to make.
This is the cake that Jamie made from Keegan and Ethan's joint birthday party. We also celebrated Ryan, Amanda, and Amy's birthdays as well. On Friday and Saturday of Thanksgiving week all the Weiss girls went shopping and spent the night at a hotel. It was fun to spend time together and considering how many trips were made back to the van with packages it was pretty successful too! We won't mention the room keys that were locked in the room or the missing van keys:)

Below is a slideshow of pictures from Ethan's two parties. This time I used more upbeat music although it doesn't really fit the pictures... The Happy Birthday song that I downloaded from iTunes wasn't able to be downloaded into Windows Movie Maker...oh Well! Enjoy:)

Happy Birthday Braedon!

I had to post this picture because my sister-in-law Jamie makes such AWESOME cakes for her boys! Happy 4th Birthday, Braedon:) We can't wait to see you this weekend!

Odds and Ends Pictures

These flowers were sent to me from Melissa, Valarie, Katie, and Rachel with a LOVELY note attached to them! Thanks, girls for helping me to feel SO old:)

This picture was from the first day of Kindergarten. They came off the bus wearing those hats...they say,"I'm a Kindergarten Star" - I think that they were made in Art.

Kaitlyn received a haircut before her second day of school as I was tired of fighting tangles! It sure does grow fast! It's much more manageable now but can still be pulled up.

And last but not least - here's the birthday girl! She doesn't look too old, now does she?

Birthday's and such

Well, I'm officially another year older...and wiser:) 30 really isn't all that hard...the gray hairs are completely a different thing! I had a nice birthday lunch with some friends at Jalapeno's - a Mexican restaurant. Joan decided to bring me a cake when she heard that I was going to make my own...I don't usually bother with a cake for myself except the twins are now old enough to know that a birthday means a cake! Don and Eileen stopped by with a birthday balloon and gift basket and to see the twins come off the school bus....we had a really hot, humid wait for them! Oh - and I had flowers awaiting me when I returned home from my lunch...they came from my four LOVELY, young sisters:) Other than that I have been spending my day cleaning out the coat closet...I don't think that we are going to need coats in Singapore. Or hats. Or gloves. Or scarves. Or boots. I'm getting all the things that we're getting rid of ready for a big garage sale to be held sometime in September. I came down to wash up some of our winter coats and realized that I had left the clean clothes in the washing machine, AGAIN. This will make the third time that they are being washed to freshen them up...clothes sitting wet for a couple of days tend to start smelling mildewy! If that's a word. Well, I'm going to go and check the mail to see if there's anything in there for my birthday:)
