Last night, Annika was using her teeth to open something and loosened her front tooth quite a bit (big no no!). Well, her second tooth fell out this afternoon. It was bugging her all day and bleeding and it finally wiggled free! She's very excited about the tooth fairy again!

This afternoon, Bianca passed out on the couch listening to her iPod.  I can see my future with a teenage Bianca very vividly!

Bianca's 3rd and final birthday celebration was today with our families. Everyone came to celebrate and it was a great day.

The little 4 year old got an iPod Shuffle from mom and dad. Lucky little lady. It was a huge hit too!

And blowing out 4 candles for the last time this year!  Note the headphones...

Bianca had some of the neighborhood girls over tonight for her "pretend sleepover". We did some jumping on the bouncer, made pizzas, jumped some more, ate candy and chips, ate cupcakes, watched a movie with our jammies on in our sleeping bags and made popcorn. It was a fun-filled night and all the girls had a blast! I'd say the party was a success!

The delicious (and low fat) cupcakes!

The party favors were these cute popcorn containers with a bunch of girly goodies in them!

Bianca chose to lay on the table, weird.

Annika, watching the movie.

Happiest 4th Birthday to the sweetest little lady in town!  I can't believe that my sweet Beebs is 4 already, where has the time gone?  We started the day with presnets, Bianca got her twinkle toes (shoes) she's been dying for.  Then today we had dance class so Bianca got to celebrate there with her little friends, then tonight we went to Red Robin to celebrate.  My mom and dad came along and we enjoyed a nice, loud dinner together.  Bianca really wanted them to sing Happy Birthday to her and when they came out, she suddenly got shy.  I didn't get any pictures of course, forgot the camera!  But, when we got home we all sang to her and she got to blow out a candle.  It was the perfect day to remember the day she was born.  I'm still very nostalgic about the birth of my children and I remember each day like it was yesterday.  Each was so special and unique and I'd do it a million times over again.  I love you Bianca, Happy Birthday sweet girl!

 This shot is totally blurry but I love it anyway!

I snapped Bianca's 4 year old pictures today. I called it quits early since the sun was beating in and the lighting wasn't that great. I had planned to re-do them because I thought they were terrible. However, when I uploaded them I was pleasantly surprised that I really liked them!

Sisters for Life, Best Friends Forever

Author: Linda De Los Reyes

You stick with each other wherever we go.

You have been playmates for as long as you know.

I hope this continues the rest of your lives.

It’s not often one is born with a best friend for life.

Brian brought my car into Lexus today for an oil change and he brought home a mini water that Bennett had to have. He felt like such a big boy with his very own bottle of water. And, Brian thought it was funny that a 2 year old had a bottle of water from Lexus!

And as a funny side note, the manager of pre-owned Lexus' wants to buy my vehicle.  Um, no thanks!  I like my car and my guess is they wouldn't give me enough money to buy a new one.  Strange.
