we are THREE!

 The girls had a phenomenal 3rd birthday party
thanks to so many wonderful friends and of course family.
We are so blessed to have met these people. Being so far from our families 
and experiencing all the same trials and reliefs, gives us an immediate connection. There are a few of us left that have been together since the guys first got to the fleet. The longer we are in, the more brave I get at meeting new people and then sometimes old friends even pop back in your life making this whole military life that much easier.

My mom was the whole reason for this party. Because, I have to admit, it took me awhile to get into the Princess/Hello Kitty theme. And luckily, my mom and wonderful Nana were able to fly in for the party and to spoil me the kids US rotten! Thank you for everything. EVERYONE that thought of my baby girls on their big day!

They were still anxiously waiting for their new big girl bikes that they SO desperately wanted for over a month... and test riding them at the stores every day of the week.  

Go figure, they switched bikes a few days later. Now Riley has the princess one and Emma took the Barbie.
(these girls wear me out)

And of course this is all the pictures I could come up with. 
(remind me to charge the battery before a party next time)
