My husband's birthday was this past weekend. Haylee and I made it very special and an all day event! We gave him lots of sweets to eat, because that is his favorite. We started the day with breakfast, pancakes! It's not often where I get to make breakfast. We are always on the go so we usually grab a quick breakfast like store bought muffins, fruit and yogurt. So for this special occasion I made pancakes! Sooo good! Then we had a small family dinner. Our friend Dina from Germany sent us this amazing raclette grill for his birthday. I marinated steak and shrimp. Souwan had a blast sitting with family and just grilling at the table for his birthday dinner. It's a really cool experience!!! It's fun to sit down, grill on the table and catch up with family. My mom also made her delish spicy papaya salad. My mom always seems to make it so much better! For dessert, I made Souwan's favorite red velvet cake. YUMMY! The food was so good and I could do this every day, but we ...

I have known Natalie since she was in her mommy's tummy! Hard to believe this beautiful sweet girl is 2!!! Time flies! She is a wonderful, cheerful and sharp girl! Her momma & daddy should be ecstatic with the job they are doing! We had a wonderful time at this session! Natalie played with Haylee and her brother Eli before we started. It was a blast watching them play musical instruments! They could make their own band! We found this beautiful spot with flowers for her photo session. It was perfect! Her momma did a wonderful job with her outfit, it is so cute!!! Natalie liked playing with the flowers. However the balloons and bubbles were way more exciting. I had fun watching her with the balloons and bubbles. I definitely got some giggles!! Hope ya'll enjoy these photos! HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATALIE!!!

I want to wish this awesome guy the Happiest Birthday! To my husband who is always there to lean on, inspires me, a loving husband, who I can always count on thru thick and thin, my best friend and who keeps life fun!! Happy Birthday hunnie.I love you xxx!   We celebrated his birthday this past weekend. He opened all of his gifts early, because I was way too excited. He also received knitted socks from our friend and a monogrammed garden flag from our friends. He is very happy with all of his gifts! Souwan wanted to just have some really good food this weekend. So that is what we did! We had a family dinner, where we ate dim sum and Chinese food. The next day I took him out on date to have steak and seafood at one of his favorite hibachi buffet places. (Don't freak out, I didn't have any seafood) Then on his actual birthday, I surprised him with breakfast and his favorite red velvet cake! Most of these are IPhone pics     The Red Velvet Cake...
