Kurt and I laugh so hard it hurts every time we see this...

Numb Nut

Just too funny:)

a lil Bling!!!!

I finally got pics of Reeses earrings...
She got her ears peirced a few days after her bday...she did awesome and I swaer she cried more about me holding her down than the actaul hole in her ear. A few teddy grahms and 10 seconds later she was smiling and happy. She hasnt touched them or anything...like they have always been there...
And the cutest thing is that Keegan tells her how cute she is:)

The long awaited videos

Took me forever to get these on here...but here they are...FINALLY!!!!

These are from Reeses and Kurts bday party...

from the song it sounds like we hired people to attend the party since it sounds lik no one knows the bday boy and girls names:)

Enjoy...

Happy Memorial Day!!!

We hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and took a moment to be thankful for our service men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice!!!

Here are a few pics from our weekend...

Dad and Keegan checking out the monkeys.

Mommy and Reese,,,taken by mommy:)

This pics shows 2 things...First, the cute outfit that her Godmother Rebecca got for her and second, Reeses zombie walk. She walks towards everyone with her hands out now.

The giraffe

Keegan feeding him....one peice of rabbit food at a time...we were there for quite a while. We let Reese try...but she decided to eat it herself.

We also fed the animals in the petting zoo...but didnt take the camera since the goats tend to get a little crazy. We didnt want the kids to be swept away...or the camera eaten:)

Can you tell how tired we all were at this point???

Forget the animals...Keegan was entertained by the water fountain.

just cute...

since I have overloaded all of you with bday pics...here are some that dont involve cake. Dont get to used to it though...I am planning on having a little party for Reese with th family when we are on vacation in a few weeks...so this is just a temporary break...

who needs toys when you have a bannister???
is he seriously sitting still and smiling...what a rare thing!!!!
Keegans cool new shirt from Aunt Lisa:)
Come on Reese..follow me...mom loves going up and down the stairs after us!!!
very serious...i have seen this look from Kurt SOOOOO many times...and look at how red his hair looks!!!!
reese smiling....big surprise!!!!

PARTAAAAAY...

We had a luau theme bbq today for Reese and Kurts bdays. Two big celebrations...turning one and turning 30 (in a few days). It was lots of fun...

Here is a quick recap...

I ordered Reese an adorable 3 tiered cake (to make up for the slack I got from Rebecca for being a bad mom for not making her a homeade cake) and was thrilled with how cute it ended up...and REALLY yummy too. Kurt got a bday apple pie...which I found out candles dont stick in too well.

Lots of good friends and family...Reeses Godfaher Napalm (of course not his REAL name) was here from TX (we missed you tons Rebecca and kiddos!!!!), aunt Lisa came in from Ohio, Aunt Debbie and Uncle Steve, and of course lots of our AF family. Thanks to everyone for being here...we love you all!!!

It was REALLY hot so we stayed inside most of the time...but ventured out in the evening for the kids to splash and even a few brave souls swam in the pool (I still think it is too cold...but the Rosales kiddos loved it!!!)

Reese and Kurt both got some very sweet gifts...most of Kurts were liquid but a few had to do with the bday gift he bought himself. In case you havnt heard he ordered a BMW. It is being made in Germany right now...should be here in about 6 weeks!!!! It will also be his 31st, 40th and 50th bday gifts too:)

Oh..and I forgot to take pics of the decorations which I spent a ton of time on..will try to get some today...but it just wont be the same:(

If you dont get your fix here and need to see every pic taken...or want to order any...click on the link in the friends blogs section titled "D10 shutterfly"

I LOVE THIS CAKE!!!! So, leave a comment to tell me how much you thnk I paid for it...it was a topic of discussion at the party:)

Aunt Lisa and the Bday girl. She borrowed a shirt of mine...and when Keegan saw it e kept reminding her that it was my shirt. He notices when I paint my toes etc..and yesterday he would only drink out of a pink cup. Maybe I shoud start sending him to work with Kut to get some guy time") Ok..that was a long caption for a pic that didnt even hae Keegan in it:) I guess I type like I talk:)

Look at those hawaiian outfits

I think this is the cutst bday hat in the world....if you think so too head to Hobby Lobby!!!

Reese got the tiki hut off the top off her cake all to herself...

Or so she thought. BROTHERS!!!!

MMMMMMMMM.

Thanks Michaela for taking such great pics!!!!

Note to moms...brown icing for first bday good...green, OK too. When they mix it looks pretty gross!!!! For more pics of Reese looking like she has poo smeared on her face check out the slideshow below.

One Year Ago Today...

Kurt and I welcomed a beautiful little girl into the world. What a crazy and amazing year it as been. Reese is one of our greatest blessings (the other is the best big bro in the world) and we truly can not imagine our lives without that huge smile and those big blue eyes. What a feisty little girl we have and I know that the years ahead will bring many more stories that start with the words "Can you beleive Reese ___________". There have been days that Kurt and I wondered how we could ever handle 2 babies so close in age....and now a year has flown by and we have a toddler boy and a big one year old girl. As difficult as it can be on days when you are exhausted, irritable, and overwhelmed....never forget to look at your children and be amazed!!! How lucky we are as parents to have the important job of raising our little ones. So...Happy Birthday Reesey Piecey...we love you more than words could ever express!!!!

Here are a few baby pics for you sentimental types....and yes, I know she doesnt look that much different since she is still bald:)

Generosity...

As many of you know, David Mitchell, a student pilot in Kurts squadron died in a crash here at Luke in March...

His wife Kristi is expecting their baby boy in July...

Here is their registry...such a wonderful way to honor a great family. We all know how difficult being a parent can be..so showering the baby with gifts and supplies would be such a wonderful thing...

Feel free to pass this info along...it was released to the public already...

Here is the link to their registry...

1st BDay Eve...

Round one of the sugar high...

We had a playgroup with our neighborhood moms today in the backyard...the kids had a blast.

More pics tomorrow after a bday dinner with Aunt Lisa!!!!

does it look like I enjoyed this cupcake?
Who needs a spoon for ice cream!!!


Just enjoying the moment....wow, being one is pretty incredible!!!!

Keegan's first OREO...

which of course ended up being Reese's first oreo too...

Keegan was very serious and wanted to make sure he did it right. He figured out how to get to the cream right away...loved dunking it in milk (although he did complain about being sticky...big surprise huh???) and was ready for another one in no time!!!!

For those of you who know Kurt (aka Nate), you will be releived to know that he didnt take after his father and lick the cream out of the cookie and put the cookie part back in the package.

Enjoy the pics...birthday cake pics soon!!!!
