What do you think...are the glasses me?

We found out that Damian had to get glasses. He picked out his own frames.
Tell me what you think of them? We think he looks so cute.
(I am just joking I hope you know)

I can't believe she is 8!!!!

It is hard to imagine that 8 years ago today I gave birth to Aubrey. She weighed only 6lbs.8 oz. and she was 18" long (her feet were 12"). Today she is a very sweet and beautiful girl.
We had a party for her yesterday that was a movie theme. The children ate pizza, created their own movie, and then they all ate popcorn and watched their own production. (I must say that each child earned an oscar).
Happy Birthday Aubrey!!

Her popcorn cake

I think she was excited for her easy bake oven


I guess we sang happy birthday too loudly

A great visit from Friends

We had a wonderful day yesterday visitng with friends we made in Yuma. They came to Tucson and arranged to meet with us one day. We were planning on going up to Mt. Lemmon until it decided to thunderstorm up there and have a high of 41 degrees. BRRRRrrrrr!!!! They graciously agreed to go BBQ at our nearby park instead. We enjoyed their visit and all the kids had so much fun playing.
Here are some pictures of our day.
