Mikelle's Princess Party

So Mikelle's birthday was on Tuesday, but since Matt's mom, sister, and niece and nephew were coming into town for a week, we decided to wait until Friday to have her princess party. Here are pictures:

Happy 4th Birthday Mikelle



Today Mikelle turns 4!!! I told her to stop growing last night and she said, I will have my birthday and turn 4, and then I will stop growing okay. I can't believe it has been 4 years already. So here is Mikelle's favorites, now that she is 4:

movie: The Princess and the Frog
color: Pink
book: Fancy Nancy & Pinkalicious
thing to do: color and lay on the couch
food: peanut butter sandwich
drink: milk
*Matt asked her what her favorite scripture was, and she said "the pink scriptures;" (I use a pink highlighter in my scriptures)

Cafe Rio and the Huge Fake Breakfast Food

Last Saturday we went to the new Cafe Rio in Denver with a group of 35 people. That may be a little crazy in and of itself, but we also all ate for FREE because Matt managed to get two boxes of free burrito t-shirts and 100 free burrito cards that he has been passing out. It was pretty fun! I just hope the the Duff and Knowles kids didn't scare all the the childless couples from ever wanting to have children. At one point, a lady came up to me (that I didn't know) and said "If you happen to be looking for your son later, he is in the kitchen playing with all the cooks." I didn't even notice Jonah was missing (bad mom moment I guess), and at least the cooks thought he was cute and funny, rather than the son of the annoying mom that doesn't watch her kids. Oh well. Anyway, we had traveled all the way to Denver from Castle Rock and weren't quite ready to go home, so we stopped by the mall and found a huge children's play place inside that was made out of HUGE fake plastic pieces of breakfast food; kind of random I thought, but very cute. The Knowles came with us, and all the kids had so much run running around, we didn't leave till they had locked all the shop doors and started turning off all the lights. It was the perfect Saturday I thought.

(I'll even post the pictures I look bad in)

From our walk yesterday, they fell asleep in the stroller in about 30 seconds. Mikelle said she thought Jonah looked funny...probably because he sleeps with his eyes and mouth open.
