the party in pictures

the pictures just don't do the fun that was had justice!!!  and yes, i am a total slacker...over two weeks since my last post!  what can i say...the end of the year is CRAZY!

first stop!

coke in champagne glasses!  these children will never be allowed to come over again!

people were getting autographs :)

the 

emery sees the princesses

emery and her bff's went to disney on ice and had so much fun!!!  it's adorable how kids think other kids riding in their car is the coolest thing to ever happen to them :)  this was no exception.  emery's favorite character at the show?  not rapunzel, not belle, not merida...GOOFY.  that says it all.

i love these three :)

getting ready to be superimposed

when beckett saw the below pic, his eyes got very wide.  MASCOTS were there?!?!

speaking of the little princess, she is on a mattress in her room right now.  we haven't taken the crib down...nor have we put the bed together yet.  but we do have it!!!!!!!!!!  almost there!

rock on

ellis turned 7 and threw herself a party.  literally...she planned the whole thing.  pink, black & zebra (vomit inducing).  she knew she wanted a rockstar party complete with a limo.  oh...and did i mention she wanted it to be a slumber party too?  how could i say no?  i have never been good at that :)  the limo arrived at 5 p.m. on her actual birthday...a friday night.  we went through the neighborhood and picked all 12 little girls up from each house.  they were given microphones, boas, sunnies, etc to use in the limo while they JAMMED to a mix created by ellis on her Ipad.  spoiled?  nah.  it was SO hilarious.  they were in HEAVEN.  i rode shotgun to give directions while bebe "chaperoned" in the back.  at one point, i looked back and they all had champagne glasses filled with mountain dew!!!  i cringed slightly knowing a number of them had probably never even had a carbonated drink EVER!  that's right...they were in heaven.  i will add pics from the actual party soon...this was the scene before :)

i never let a chance to dress up pass me by :)

she convinced our nanny to take her to justice on a day where she came home from school "sick".  they bought those high heeled boots there...WHAT?!?!  if you have never been to justice consider yourself lucky and don't EVER go

 the limo floors lit up...pink leather...stocked with soad and snacks...perfection

she chose her cake on pinterest...

 oriental trading...love it

my rockstar hubby built this pink stage!!!  we borrowed mics and amps from austin...

ellis had the time of her life.  she knows way too many songs...

she wins all the battles so she is obviously winning the war

she is a total train wreck.  hilarious though.  she is SO particular and just completely crazy.  she dug out a bikini from her room the other day for swim team (yes...just to go watch ellis and beckett) and then shopped for some different bottoms in ellis' room so that it wouldn't match.  she now takes the top off a mickey sippy and switches it for tinkerbell.  NOTHING can match.  someone please diagnose her!  i am sitting on the couch with her last night and she says she wants another birthday.  i ask what it is that she wants...answer: a hot dog

learning to do arm farts from the neighborhood boys

shopped in beckett's room for this outfit...yes- those are boxer shorts

and then lost the shirt

she looked like a little lady for a gymnastics party

pure joy...with her fav real life baby!

this outfit was actually a little embarassing

and finally a one direction nightgown with beckett's undies at a soccer game.  for realz.  this one was kinda my fault :)  i let her get wet in a splash pad at lunch before the game and those were the extra clothes i had.  she was thrilled.
