aspen is ONE!

It is crazy to think that Aspen was born 1 year ago!! No, she is not walking yet, but we definitely don't mind since she is a maniac with crawling. I definitely think she is ready, but she seems a bit nervous about the concrete floors. I would be too! We let her tear into some pancakes at home and she opened a few gifts since the party is next week. We then went out to dinner at Olives Restaurant so the girls could enjoy the fountains at Bellagio. They loved the water and Aspen loved her pizza! Our little baby is one!

fallon's 4th birthday

We had a "Star Wars" themed party at school today. Yes, she LOVES Star Wars. We got her classmates a cookie cake for her school party. Fallon loves books and loves reading the same things over and over. So I decided to try her out for memorizing poems. We started with one of my favorites, Robert Frost's "Nothing Gold Can Stay." After only 7 days of nightly readings, she did it! I told her if she memorizes it and recites it to her class, then she gets a surprise (bribery always does it). The real party is on the 20th, but we gathered a few of her school friends to go to Las Vegas Grand Prix for some games and car races.

fallon & aspen's birthday invitation

I finished the girls' invitation. There were m&ms inside and had to hand them out locally because it was too hot (I had a few casualties!). If you received them in the mail, you got Good & Plenty candy! Because Fallon & Aspen's birthdays are back-to-back (Sept. 8/9), we decided to throw them a joint birthday party at the house. We will have horses outside and Princess Ariel for the indoor entertainment! Wish all our friends from afar could come :(
