mia is BLESSED

patiently waiting her turn & wondering what they are doing up there...
wearing her "sunday best" i.e. purple skull tee with pink tutu

after the "blessing" mia and her bff heidi

Mia had the chance to be "blessed" with her friend heidi at a local church. She took her turn and walked up to the front with me. The priest began his prayers and sprayed her with a feather full of water. She reacted with a "what are you doing!" look and hid behind my legs. When he waited for her to return to finish his prayers, she simply gave him the "no way man!" look and walked away. Then the little kids offered her a treat, she ran back up to get it and took off to eat it in peace. Maybe it worked after all.

ooh la la CUPCAKES!!

A little creativity in the kitchen and an email from my sister sparked this brilliant idea... Booze-infused CUPCAKES! A quick trip to the liquor store and lots of cupcakes and a huge mess! Here's a list of the flavors that came out of it all with flying colors.

Baileys Chocolate Chip Mint

Raspberry Vodka

Pineapple Cheesecake

Vodka Punch

Chocolate Butterscotch Cheesecake

Coconut Vodka Cream

Vanilla Vodka Sprinkle

and Chocolate Sundae (alcohol free)

THEY WERE SO MUCH FUN TO MAKE!! :)

camping crazy!

Camping attempt #1 at Paradise Cove

Our little campsite, right on the water, soo cute!

B I R T H D A Y ! !

Brian did a great job and surprised me this year for my Birthday! We went to KOTO, a new japanese steakhouse/sushi restaurant. It was delish! Then they made me stand up while they sang Shake Your Booty at me for my birthday song... and some more that made me blush... it was interesting.

Family Photo, mia didn't get the memo!

GURLS NIGHT!

WHAT AN AWESOME NIGHT! Thanks to all my friends that helped make my birthday super special! It was by far, the best birthday ever!!

Birthday Dinner

Seth & Emma helped me celebrate my first birthday dinner at Red Robin. They were mostly interested in the ice cream that came afterward. It's the thought that counts! :)

PRIZE!

Brian made sure to win mia a prize while at the fair, she was beyond HAPPY!

Fair take 2

Jordys daddy won her a pink piggie!

The little brown piglets were so adorable! One of them had to pee and kept falling asleep while doing so. I wanted to sneak one into my purse!

How now brown cow?

The never ending basketball game...and by never ending I mean NEVER ENDING!

The Great New York State Fair!

I've learned from local syracuse friends, you can't leave the fair without eating a pizza fritta!

This was right after BK won the pushup contest for the National Guard, he won a tshirt.

The Syracuse Horse

Technically this one is in front of Upstate University Hospital

Camping at Green Lakes

The Ladies at Camp
Jules & Christina "roughin it!"

The view on the walking trail around the lake.

Camp buddies!

While Brian was out of town for an ortho conference, I went camping with some friends. Mia came too! It was so much fun hanging out around the fire, getting goofy together and eating! Too bad the storm came in early and we had to pack up early.

Horsey LOVE

After trying out a kids movie at the mall, we couldn't wait for our turn on the "horsey!"

more new SUPERHERO models for Babyhoot!

Doesn't get any cuter!

Kona + Mia = TROUBLE

When these two get together, they put all their brains into one pot and see what they can come up with... This was the two of them inside the house while the block party was going on outside. Kona pulled the curtain aside and mia propped herself on the windowsill. Mission Accomplished!
