My sweet baby Belle turned 2 on the 23rd of May.  I still can't believe it's been 2 years!! I just remember bringing her home as if it was the other day.  She is still our Baby Belle though. 2 years sounds so grown up, but she is still learning to talk and still does cute 'baby' things.  I am also working on weaning her from, the uh, breastfeeding before naps and bed. Yes, I still do and maybe because she is my baby and having a 3rd child is not going to happen (my kids need soo much attention these days I can't imagine having another colic baby to take care of on top of my 2, and about 99 other reasons we are not- we love how we can get out more, travel easier, not as much baby proofing, etc.) 

So I digress, for Belle's bday, we had her open her presents and then had her breakfast cupcake and sang "Happy Birthday!"  After that we went to the Y. Then we had lunch at the Lot with our friends Isla and Jack and their mommy Heather.  After naps, we took her to Kaze for a fun Hibachi style dinner!  My angel girl is growing so fast!

My sweet girls are both having birthdays this month! I just want to stop the clock because it's going by way too fast!  Luna turned 4 on May 13th. She opened her presents first thing in the morning and then had her breakfast cupcake.  Of course anything Frozen was pretty much what she got!

We ended the day going to her favorite Mexican restaurant, Mariano's!  They sang to her, put a sombrero on and she ate her sopapilla and ice cream.  She loved having her Aunt Erika, Buelo and Coco there too!

Next up was the big day they'd been waiting for forever!  Their joint Frozen birthday party.  I couldn't wait for them to have this party as it's so fun to watch their excited expressions leading up to the day.  We chose to have it at Biggers Gym where my sister works part time on the weekends.  We had a bounce house thanks to Grandpa and Sherry, an awesome cake from my mom's friend's daughter Kelsey and an amazing face painter who did way more than I thought with her Frozen face paintings!  The kids had a lot of fun running around the gym in their princess and hero outfits.  For favors we gave Frozen Activity books and stickers and some homemade Elsa crowns and Sven antlers.  We had a great time and are thankful for everyone who made it out!

Next was Belle's birthday on May 23rd. I CAN NOT believe my baby turned 2! Seriously, where has the time gone? It was really hard for me to believe that Luna was the same age when Belle was born. I can't even imagine.  Just crazy how time flies, and Belle is now a toddler, even though we still call her our Baby Belle.

She woke up on her bday and opened her presents.  She loves Minnie Mouse and most of her gifts centered around Minnie and Mickie.  Then had her birthday cupcake on her special plate she made last year on her 1st bday.  We also FINALLY turned her car seat around to face front and she loved it.  Then we went to the Y. She actually loves going to the Y believe it or not and then we went to lunch at the Lot with her friends Isla and Jack Baker.  After naps, my family came over and we all went to dinner at Kaze's Hibachi Grill. It's a lot like Benihana's but I think it's better and the food was really good! She got her own birthday ice cream bowl too :)

I can't believe their birthdays are already over.  I am trying hard to cherish every day and moment with these angels!  The time is going by just way too fast.

Mother's Day this year was such a special treat. I was lucky to sleep in and then the girls said, 'surprise' as I came into the living room, even though Todd said he tried to get them to say, "Happy Mother's Day" lol. Todd made me breakfast and then they gave me a gift to Sephora, for a makeover and gift card, just my thing!  We then got ready to go up to my grandmother's for a brunch at her independent living home.  My Uncles were in town visiting and the girls had a great time!

After naps we went to Company Cafe for dinner, since I am still eating Whole 30 :) We sat on the patio and had fun watching the dogs on the Katy Trail.  I had such a fun day, thanks to my girls and Todd!  I am so grateful to have such amazing girls and being a mom to them is the best thing ever!!  

Luna has been taking swim lessons at Dolfin swim and started them last year.  We stopped in the winter and started back up again in April.  She loves going, which is great because you never know with kids and lessons!  At her last class, she graduated to the next level and was so excited!

Luna's school had their annual carnival on May 3rd and she had a blast!  My mom watched Belle during nap time so we could spend time with her there. It was funny, I kept looking around for Belle as I am so used to keeping an eye on her and making sure she's not running off. It was nice we could have the quality time with Luna :)
