Rachel turns 2!

HOW on earth did this happen to me?
My baby just turned 2!
I can't believe it. We are so lucky to have Rachel in our family. She definitely is turning out to be a spitfire. She keeps us cracking up all the time. We love her so much. Rachel is currently obssessed with TinkerBell, so below you shall see the cake, wrapping paper, and jammies to make sure she is a happy girl. And on a very proud side note, the night before her birthday she decided she wanted to use the potty! This kid is potty training herself! We pretty much have days down, working on the nights. Way to go, Rachel.
Man, we are so blessed by Rachel!
The Tinker Bell cake (about 2 hrs to frost)

Who wants cake?
ME!

Can I eat this now?

Blowing out the candles

Yes, this is so good! I FINALLY can eat it!

It's a lot of work being this cute, I'm ready for bed and still so stylish!
Thanks everyone for my fun family party!
(okay folks, I updated, so get off my back for a little bit! Hope to be more regular again!)

Well Well Well...what do we have here? A new post eh? I guess bugging you really does work! She is A-dorable and I would like to request a cake for my birthday this year. Do you do anyone besides Tink? I am soooo into American Idol right now - could you do Simon?

YEA!!! I love seeing your family! Rachel is ADORABLE! Happy Birthday to you! I was thinking...wait a minute...that means...Charlotte will be two soon! It is all such a blurr with the two so close, but it makes me happy to celebrate! Although I know our cake will be no where near that masterpiece! You have truly outdone yourself...it may be your best cake to date. What do you 'tink'? ha, ha I am such a nerd.

Happy birthday Rachel! And that cake! Way to go Mindy!

Yeah, Mindy is alive! I'm one to talk, I need to update mine too. I can't believe Rachel is 2! It seems like you were just pregnant with her. Such a cute party! And I have to say though Mindy, although you kind of brainwashed me into thinking that I need to make all my kid's birthday cakes, I am taking this year off because I will have a less-than-1-month-old at both Camie and Maddie's birthday. So bring on the Costco cake! Love ya!

You are still alive! Pearl loves Tinkerbell too but the funny thing is she has NEVER seen a movie with her in it. I don't get it.

Stephanie said...

She is so beautiful. I am also very impressed by the cake. You are a talented lady. Happy birthday Rachel!

Whitney said...

LOVE the cake, Minds! And...am even happier to see that you're still alive! :) Think of you lots and hope you're well!

Why we joined this bloggy-blog world!

We hope that we can keep in better contact with our friends and family, both near and far. Besides, it is easier to see pictures this way instead of emailing them! And did we mention we think our family is pretty cute, especially those kids of ours! Check back often and keep in touch!

About Me

I am a proud 32 year old woman (you know they say 30 is the new 20!) I am married to Bart, the love of my life, and we have three amazing kids, Jacob, 6 1/2, Anna,3 1/2, and Rachel 9 mos. We met in college in Utah and lived there for the first 6 years of our marriage. Then we followed Bart's career and moved out to the East Coast. We decided to follow it back to the west about a year ago and are adjusting to life in a new place. We are sure thankful for all that we have and hope to stay in better touch with friends and family alike with our blog!
