Happy 1st Birthday Spencer!

Today is Spencer's 1st Birthday! Spencer is one of my daycare kids that I have been taking care of since he was 2 months old. He is a part of our family and my boys think of him as being another brother. It's so cute to see that bond my kids have with him. He is Jeremiah's best little buddy and I can't wait to see them grow-up together. It's almost like having twins since they are so close in age (only 4 weeks apart from each other). Boys are so much fun! :)

The boys! Noah, Preston, Spencer & Jeremiah. Preston & Noah were having fun singing "Happy Birthday" to Spencer.

Preston, Spencer & Jeremiah. Look at those cute smiles!

Here are the cupcakes I made today. I didn't have time to go to the store, so I used what I had on hand. The babies had the cupcakes with sprinkles & the older boys got the ones with shark gummies & mini m&m's.

Preston was so excited to get his cupcake. He was looking forward to them all day!

Noah making a silly face as usual. He is my little character!

They were just starting to dig into their cupcake. Jeremiah got excited when he took his first bite. This was the first time Jeremiah has ever had a cupcake.

Spencer enjoyed his cupcake.

Jeremiah just loved his cupcake. He was smiling so much, it was absolutely adorable!

Look at those cute little guys. ADORABLE!!!

Mmmmmm.........good!

This was Spencer saying "he wanted some more"!

What a Happy Birthday Boy..........Happy Birthday Spencer!

We Love You! :)

Cookie Decorating

My friend Carrie hosted a Cookie Decorating Party at her house on Saturday to help us non-cookie decorators learn the techniques and know how to decorate cute cookies. She is the Cookie Pro and she always does such a fabulous job with her cookie decorating skills. I will be calling her the Cookie Master! Ha! (of course, her sister-in-law Brooke is just as awesome too!)

Here is a picture of how my cookies turned out. I think some turned out cute, but others need a little more practice before they will look better. This is my first time ever decorating cookies like this, so I look forward to doing it again soon. I had a lot of fun & I'm already thinking I will be making more cookies & decorating them for Easter. Maybe they will turn out better the next time! :)

Disneyland 2010

We decided to take a 4-day Disneyland trip to celebrate my husband's 40th Birthday & my older sons 4th birthday. We all had an absolute blast! My 3 boys were so excited when we arrived at the park, I don't think they ever stopped smiling. It was so cute to see the excitement through their eyes as children. I know as us adults, we feel like big kids when we are at Disneyland. I can only imagine how they felt. This was such a fun trip........I can't wait to do it again!


The Wilhite family-Our 1st day at Disneyland. It was very sunny!


I couldn't resist putting my little Jeremiah in this cute Mickey outfit. He looked so ADORABLE!

Noah was excited to hold his own gun.

The boys liked the huge Buzz Lightyear!
