Happy Birthday Faith!

March 6th was our little Faithy's 6th Birthday! I can not believe she is 6 already...as much as it seems we've had her forever, I can still remember like yesterday holding her for the first time!

This year we had the theme of Hello Kitty! This is one of the 3 cupcake cakes I made for the festivites!


We had 2 parties for Faith. The "school friends party" that we had at the park after school. Had a great turnout! Around 25 kids! Nice thing about a party at the park, is that there is something for everyone to do! Then on the weekend we had the "Family and Friends" party. Much smaller, much more relaxed :) Here are some pics from both parties!

The hit of the party was when the kids got to "shop" at Hello Kitty's candy shop! What kids doesn't like to fill a bag up with candy?


We were surpirsingly able to keep some order when Faith opened her gifts! :) Just look at how nice those kids are sitting!

This is Sam at Faith's "family and friends" party. You can tell by now he did not care much about Faith's birthday and just wanted to relax. I love this kid!

Faith's "prince charming" brought her some beautiful pink roses!

Happy Birthday Princess! We love you so much and are SO BLESSED to have such a wonderful little girl!

San Diego!

A few weeks ago, we decided we were LONG overdue for one of "weekend getaways". So off to San Diego we went!

There is an air show once a year at the Navy base. It's cool because they open up the entire base to the public! It was neat to see where we could have ended up living if Jake had not been medically discharged from the Navy.

We also hit the zoo, and a Train museum! Fun Fun Fun weekend!

Nate was a hoot at the Train museum...he pretty much screamed CHOO CHOO the entire time :) He is as obsessed with trains as the big kids are with Batman right now!


My proud Canadian moment, when we found the Canadian plane!

The airshow was so fun. The kids got to go inside so many planes while a steady stream of planes and demos were happening overhead...never a dull moment!
