Okay, so in case anyone even checks this anymore, since I have only posted twice, I decided to update it. And, I'm sorry, I kind of hate this Blogger program because I can never get things to go where I want and yes I'm blaming the program and not myself, so you get to see all my pictures and then read about them. Here goes ...

In October I had a shower at my house for two of my cousins having babies and I made Diaper Cakes for them. I got the idea online and decided I could do it too -- ended up being harder than I thought but I was pleased with the outcome.

Jaimee was Alice in Wonderland for Halloween, and her costume was made by -- drumroll please -- me. It was my first and last attempt at sewing and though I was pleased with how it turned out, it was not worth the days of focus and mess. Brandon got sick on Halloween, so the poor guy had to watch while Jaimee got dressed up and went Trick or Treating.

That Halloween sickness turned out to be the swine flu and was soon passed to Jaimee, so while we had planned a big bash for the kids birthdays, we ended up just having a little party with the 4 of us. So, forever when we look at the pictures, this year will be referred to as the "Swine Flu Birthdays," which will explain the lack of festivities.

The kids helped Brian and I decorate the tree and Brandon caught onto the idea real quick -- random fun stuff goes on this big tree in our house. So he went to his room and got all of his little Toy Story figurines and other knick knacks and put them on the tree. So cute!

Jaimee performed in her first dance recital! She loves her dance class and couldn't believe that after all of this time waiting and watching her aunt and cousins on stage, it was her turn! She performed "Roly Poly the Polar Bear" and had a ball! So cute!
