Her and her BFF, McCoy
I REALLY cannot believe my precious baby luvs is 3!!!! Today, 3 years ago, we brought her home to our sweet, little house (that I miss like crazy), in the North Pole. There are days (many of days), where I wish I could turn back time and relive those 3 years. Make better decisions, slow down a bit, videotape her growing up more, RELAX, not worry about keeping up with daily expectations, but just CHILL out and do nothing with my family. Yepppppp........., but THATTTTT won't happen; and as usual, our week is jam packed with things to do, apts., errands, play dates, must-haves, to-do's; aahhhh.... if only we had a nanny to scrub our kitchen floors after every meal with a toddler, 8 month old, and hairy-ass dog!!! Then, I think life would be much more manageable!
So, I leave you with photos from her 3rd birthday pool bash at the YMCA. I will be hosting all parties from here on out outside of the home; I cannot even begin to tell you how nice it was to not have to clean before and after a par-tay'! Genius!

The butterfly cupcake-cake..with her name, nor age, written on it what-so-ever! I'm a terrible mother!
And what would be a party without the kids making/decorating their own visors????? I'll tell you...not a party!

Happy Birthday, Salem! I remember seeing her in the hospital the day after she was born. She was so tiny! I can't believe how fast time flies. And I know what you mean about wishing you could have slowed down and enjoyed it more. These years are so precious and yet so mutha-effing HARD on the mothers! I keep wishing I HAD a dog to clean up the floor under the high chair! :)
John and Salem have the same birthday, so I will always think of her on her special day.
Happy Birthday, Salem!!
Happy Birthday!! She is so cute! THe older they get the faster time flies. Every night I wonder how I can capture the next day in slow motion. Then the morning comes and I re-think my wishes. The the night comes and I wish I had been done a better job capturing the moments.
Got you invite and really trying to figure out how I can make it! Sounds like fun!
