Happy 4th Birthday Ava!

The requested Barbie cake for me to make with a purple dress!

New Scooter and displaying her age!

Ava was a lucky girl this year. She got to have 2 birthday parties. One with her grandparents and one with her friends. Her actual Birthday is on August 4th and we had a mini birthday celebration from 6:00am to 7:00am that morning. Ava is always asking for a balloon so we had her room decorated with a helium balloon and her birthday presents waiting for her to open. She was thrilled to wake up to all this!We also had soccer that evening and so we had Nanny & Grampy and Papa over for some ice cream cake afterwards. Then on Sunday 3 of Ava's friends came over to help her celebrate. The girls were all gorgeous in their party dresses! I won't go in to detail of how I can't believe she's 4. All I can say is she's one amazing little girl!

Mother's Day 2010

It's been a while since I've posted anything. First 3 months of pregnancy had me tired and in bed as soon as the girls were so now that I'm getting over that tiredness I hope to keep up with the updates. Here are some pics from today.

Future Stylist?!

Ava thought it would be fun to get ALL her hair clips and barrettes out and put them in my hair...here is the end result!

A Slipp Christmas

We had a great Christmas this year. Ava really was in to it and got really excited. I can only imagine what it will be like when Leah starts getting it too! The Holidays are fun but boy does it ever wipe the energy out of me. I'm kinda glad January is here and am hoping that everything slows down for just a bit.

Latest Cake...Morgan's 4th Birthday

I'm not too sure who was more excited Sunday morning when they saw snow, Ava or Pete! Pete got to use his brand new snowblower...he was sooooo happy!

Oh Christmas Tree!

This past weekend we took off on our yearly trip to the Christmas tree farm with the Reeves'. Here are a few pics from getting the tree and decorating.

2009 Xmas Parade

Last Saturday we ventured out for the Xmas parade. I hadn't been to a Fredericton Xmas parade since I was young and I must say it was really good! We found the perfect spot with the Reeves' and got there just in time! We also celebrated Grampy's Birthday and I finally was able to let Ava have her hands in on decorating it with me. The middle marshmallow is Leah and Ava proudly made her all by herself!

Leah's 1st Birthday!

On Saturday we had our families over to help Leah celebrate her first birthday. She had her first taste of cake and didn't seem to be all that excited about it. I think she may be a salty girl! Here are a few pics from her party.
