Belated Birthday Post

"SAY WHAT!?" Marley's a little peeved that it took me this long to post her birthday...considering it was over two months ago...oops. Sorry Mar, how bout I make it extra long with slightly grainy pics...

Don't let their good looks fool you...

When you ask them for help to decorate your party...you just might end up with less then perfect signs...if you can't spot the error in the next pic, please add your name in the comment box so I never ask for your help with birthday signs either. that's okay girls, i love you anyway...even if you argued with me when i pointed out the error...big mistake, you might have me in math but i am an english WHIZ!

Anywhooo...let's hit the pool, shall we?Little miss Caitlyn...sorry i always spell your name wrong...isn't she cute when she's drippin wet?Meanwhile I left Bumpa to stand guard over the birthday presents...who's gonna mess with this guy?Time for cake! cupcakes that is...having a little girl is so fun!

Marley wasn't the biggest fan of being sung to...

but man o man did she LOVE her cake! look at that smile after the first bite!

then...let the face smashing begin...WAY more exciting then Dylan's first...sorry son, you eat like a girl.

Um...it's all gone, you can unclench your fist now
Miss Elly and Ais enjoyin their cupcakes

Dyl excited to get hisDylan has been obsessed with butter for a while now...the other day i came downstairs to find not one but three sticks of butter unwrapped on the counter, luckily he had "only" eaten through about half of the first one before I caught him....YUCK...anyways....he has decided he likes "cake butter" even better and kept licking his off the top and asking for more. Just like with real butter and toast I had to firmly put my foot down and say "no you have to BITE it, not just lick it off the top...eat the cake too!" I'm sorry Marley are you a little bit upset about having your face cleaned and your cake taken away?Well, get over it cause it's time for presents!Probably the biggest hit was the baby doll from the Linfords, thanks guys! It's her first baby doll!

Marley couldn't wait to pull the baby out and love her, and hug her and...bite her fingers? uh oh

oh and lick her face...thats sweet...right?
ok, let me explain this next pic...in case you don't immediately recognize him, that's pirate rod from Dyl's bday post (or wod as dyl calls him)...anyways...rod always makes fun of the fact that i put big flowers on mar's head for church (by big i mean, the palm of your hand so...completely normal and cute size...he's a guy what do you expect?) anways...he decided to find the biggest flower possible and make mar a headband to top all headbands...it attaches with velcro to a sports sweat band and even has a back up band thats blue with a white stripe for her more casual days...thanks rod

she still looks cute so - in your face! we all got a good laugh outta his gift...and he made it all by himself, i was impressed.
