Karis is 2!!

It's VERY hard to believe, but my sweet neice turned 2 on March 15th! Her party was Saturday in her backyard and we could not have asked for better weather!!! It was sunny and at LEAST 80!! We all got a little sunburned, but not too bad. It was totally worth it!

And I still can't believe my sweet girl is 6!! Remember her barnyard bash on HER 2nd birthday? See the archives of my blog for pictures from that special day!

Karis was so loving all day!!

Her creative mommy made some eye-popping delicious cupcakes!!

Loving on her cousin Caden!

Loving on her Uncle Brian (told you she was extra extra sweet!)

Her mommy also made her super cute tutu and put a 2 on the front on her shirt! VERY adorable!!

I am SOOOOO glad we live in the same city!!

"Higher, Nana!!"

I got some love too!

Shopping and talking on the phone just comes naturally to us girls!

Spring Break in Gatlinburg, TN

I don't think we've ever taken a week long trip during Spring Break before but we had a week with our timeshare that we didn't want to lose! So we exchanged our florida unit for a week in the Smoky Mountains! We had the best time at the Aquarium! Kenzie said her favorite part was the seahorses and I think Caden's was the penguins!

They liked crawling up into the tubes. Just like being IN the tank!

Both picked out turtles for their souvenirs!

Riding the "four-wheeler ride" at the Tanger outlet. Their wardrobes will be busting at the seams now!

We had a cabin at the Westgate Smoky Mountains Resort. It was nice, but we had no phone or internet all week!

I think Brian and I loved the Comedy Barn show the best. Hysterical, family friendly, and CLEAN humor made it fun for everyone! The show didn't start until 8:15 so Caden was half asleep throughout, but even he laughed at the dogs!

The resort had an indoor waterpark that we enjoyed three of the days we were there.

Practicing for her summer swims!

Caden finally got brave enough to let go of me by the third day!

Kenzie's Sweet & Sassy Sixth Birthday!

We celebrated Kenzie's 6th birthday in Sweet & Sassy style! On friday 3/1 I read to her class. Then her Grandma, Grandpa, Daddy, Caden, and I had lunch with her and gave cupcakes out to her class!

Then Saturday morning we headed over (in the snow flurries!) to celebrate her actual birthday at Sweet & Sassy!

Kenzie had a Fashion Diva party with the girls in her kindergarten class and friends from outside of school!

Karis had NO problem letting out her inner-diva!

Adelin, Kenzie, and Allison

It was very cool watching 12 girls get glammed up at the primping station!

Ever protective of her cousin, and you should have seen Caden with her on the runway!

Kenzie and Morgan

Love my lil' diva!

Uncle Van was a trooper with all the glitz and glam!

This pic is a little blurry, but I love their faces!

Did I mention she's a diva? Check out her new polka dotted espadrilles! Courtesy of her Nana of course!

Rockin' in her new Sophia the First pajamas!

Happy Valentines Day!

I know it's been a while. I'm sorry! Just thought I'd share some love today!

A flashback to 2011, Caden's 1st Valentine's Day!

Lovc my little Valentines!

And my sweet husband is going to make us Red Velvet heart-shaped pancakes tonight! Pictures of those coming soon!
