Disney on Ice

We have been waiting for Disney on Ice to come back to Vegas, and this year was the best because it was all about the Princesses. Jordan was so excited to know we were going (so was Jackson). Jackson and Jordan weren't feeling the greatest but still wanted to go. My friends at the Mack were able to get us into the second row even though I waited to buy our tickets at the last minute. I have more pictures on my phone, but only snapped a few with my camera because we were so into it! This was a good

introduction to the excitement of what Disneyland will be like in a couple months. We can't wait.

4 Months!

Taylor is 4 months old! Each milestone is celebrated more than ever with older siblings. They are her biggest fans. Taylor is rolling over from front to back now and Jackson and Jordan love to clap when she does it! My favorite thing is her giggle. She loves to laugh her brother and sister, and the dog all the time. We went for her 4 month well-check on the 16th. She is following in her big brothers footsteps. She weighs 17 pounds and is in the > 95th percentiles for height and weight. She is moving into 6-12 month clothes each day. We just got the okay to start rice cereal. She loves it! Her eyes are still blue but are darkening up a bit. We love you baby girl.

Jordan's Olivia Party

Jordan's party day was finally here! We decided on an Olivia Art Party because she loves Olivia and art. Honestly, we could have done a few different themes, but I think this is the last year she will love Olivia. Pintrest was great for some ideas, but I really tried to make this party my own for other things. The decor was simple using mostly black an red...not too much of the Olivia themed stuff.

We did a "Create you Own Pasta Bar" for the food. It was a hit. Three different kinds of pasta, three sauces, chicken, meatballs, sun-dried tomatoes, and lots of cheeses.

There was a simple candy bar for everyone to snack on, but with so many other things for the guests to take home, I didn't go all out!

Carrie made yet another fabulous cake! It was perfect and I had fun adding the toppers.

This was my favorite activity. We did a photo booth (which really was wallpaper on our garage wall). I made a few different signs, all the guests had pig noses and ears, some boas, and a frame. Our photographer snapped all the pictures of the guests (which I will send out as thank yous) This party was one of my favorites. The kids loved painting their own canvases, creating sand art, playing with play dough, making jewelry, and coloring Olivia books. All but two of our friends made the party, so we had a packed house, yet the art made the kids so calm.

I just had to post this! Jordan was maxed out by the end of the party...posing for one last group picture after being in the photo booth and pulled away from her painting did her in. This will always be quoted as the "it's my party and I'll cry if I want to" picture!
