Insta-Friday....

Once again life over at the Civey home was crazy this week....had lots of softball games, crazy weather, and tons of cookie/sweet orders to fill :) But as this business of mine is growing I am loving Friday nights after all my orders have been delivered/picked up. I had just enough left over batter from a smash cake I made for Bella's little friend Emma's 1st Birthday...to be able to make the girls some mini cupcakes along with icing for them to decorate....they love the leftovers!!

Ava & Lizzie decorating with my stash of sprinkles

Lizzie on the Little Tikes house that we keep trying to donate somewhere, although I do believe that the girls would just be devastated as they know they are too big to play on the inside...but that doesn't mean that they can't play on top!

Bella isn't walking just yet, but it is any day....Ava helping her walk through the grass

Look at that little belly on Bella...love that baby fat they have when they haven't started walking it all off, just precious!

This is my favorite of the week...love the black and white and her piggy's....

her innocent smile I want to freeze her in time right now, she truly is my little angel

Big Wade man doing our typical Friday night ritual...ordering some dinner with a cold beer.  After a long week of working we want nothing to do with the kitchen.  Tonight was actually sunny and nice, it has been miserable and tons of rain storms (understatement actually....we are so sick of nasty weather here in the midwest!!)

Lizzie and I taking advantage of the nice weather on the patio ...my twin :)

Ava and Bells again on her favorite little walker

And this was taken earlier in the week ...another favrite of mine...she was trying to climb in her stroller it was hilarious...she is also quite the monkey with no fear!

HAPPY FRIDAY!!

INSTA-FRIDAY ~ LIFE REARRANGED

Insta-Friday....

So has everyone gone out and downloaded the Instagram app on their Iphone?  It is so fun to play around with all the cool filters it can put on your pics!!!

So today was Bella's surgery of getting tubes in those little ears of her :(   But we were so glad that they are finally doing it b/c I feel so bad that she has had so many little ear infections since January.....

It is so amazing how those doctor's can do the procudure so quick...she had to be put to sleep with bubblegum flavored mask...I guess I wouldn't mind going to sleep smelling some yummy bubblegum right?

Anyway she was a trooper...never even fussed..good old bottle was right next to her when she woke up about 2 minutes after I got in the room with her.   It is also so amazing how there is no downtime with this...she took a great nap when we got home then decided to take advantage of the wonderful weather in the STL area and go get Lizzie from Guppy to go have a picnic at the park....

I am obsessed with Bella's curls in her hair...I have always had such BONE straight hair that I love love love them!!!  Of course they will probably go away but I love it right now!!

The kiddos love the Giraffe & Elephants at the New Town park Bella points and screams out baby talk everytime we go...

 Bella enjoying some yummy cucumber...1st one!  There are so many new things that she is trying these days...and she loves most of all of it...she is just like her Daddy!!   Although you should have seen her try to grab my entire chocolate chip cookie and down that....so there she is like her Mommy for sure!



Don't you just love SPRING TIME!!!


Join in the fun over here!!




Insta-Friday Linky Party

End of the Year for Lizzie....now on to 1st Grade :(

I can hardly believe that my little Lizzie is already done with her 1st year of Kindergarten!  I feel like it was just yesterday that I was waking her up for her 1st day...wow she has learned so much!!!

Today Lizzie's grade did a Kindergarten bash....a celebration instead of an actual graduation...it was too cute!    Each kid had to dress up as what they wanted to be when they grow up...and this one was way out of left field...Ballet Teacher.  Mind you Lizzie has not taken any dance classes since she was 2 and honestly I believe it was truly because she figured out which job had the coolest outfit. :)  Too funny....So a ballet teacher is what she was.    Here she is leading the line with Mrs. B (her sweet Kindergarten teacher)

Sitting patiently while everyone is coming into the ceremony

Mrs. Brown the great principal at her school

Posing for the camera after it was all done ....a certificate stating that she is moving on to 1st Grade :)

One of her best buddies ...Charlie....wow those two are really going to be trouble when they get older!

Mimi & Pawpaw were still in town for the ceremony...Lizzie was so excited that they were there :)

Picnic outside with Mimi

A shot of her little friends before their luau party started

Lizzie today was your last day of Kindergarten and you are moving on up to 1st Grade!

You learned so much this year and I am so proud of you!!!  You received the "PRIDE" award a couple months ago for Determination and that is something you truly do...you are so determined to accomplish anything that you put your mind to!   You have so much love for school and I hope you continue that school pride!  You were always so excited to participate in any school activity and go all out on all the fun crazy spirit days!!  Mrs. B swares one day you will be the best cheerleader b/c you have so much school spirit!

You learned how to read this year and are so much better now than at the beginning of the school year.  I know you were very sad on your last day of school....but you will enjoy your summer and 1st Grade will be here before you know it!!!

Love you Mommy
