Gift for Grandma

I wanted to share my latest creation. Today is my mother-in-laws birthday and I wanted to make her something very special. I had her bedroom in mind when choosing the colors and after looking at it, she said that is exactly where she is going to put it. Her room is very Victorian, so when I saw this paper, I had to use it. I really wish I could do these things for a living as it makes me so truly happy!

GUILIANA IS WALKING!!

Today was the day that Guiliana decided it was time to become a big girl and start stepping!! She has taken 3 steps once in awhile when she wasn't paying attention but today was a whole different story!! She LOVES to be walking because every time she does it... she GIGGLES!! So proud of our baby girl!!

Grandma's Birthday

Grandma Fran's birthday isn't till Monday the 15th, but we celebrated it today by spending the day with her today. We swam, played in the sandbox, and Greg and I made her dinner. She requested my famous Greek pasta, so that's what we did. We are saving her gift for Monday (I will post pics after I give it to her)
Happy Birthday Grandma!! Thanks for being the best grandma ever!! We love you very much!





Not too sure what happened to the side of the cake!

Michally's 29th Birthday!

Eric put a wonderful dinner party together for Michally at Macayos and invited about 15 of her closest friends. He even arranged for her Dad and Rhonda to come in from San Diego as a surprise! It was fantastic spending time with our bestest pals.

Another one of my creations... a birthday gift for Michally (I LOVE crafting!)

"FUN-TIMES"

Guiliana and Bella's Swim Playdate

Last weekend Michally and I got the girls together for some swimming. They swam, chowed down, and played in the sandbox. The girls had a great time!

Giving Kisses!




Later that night, Guiliana, Grandma, and I went to Desert Ridge to do a bit of shopping. We stopped by the water fountains, listened to music and had some Starbucks. Guiliana loved playing in the water fountains. We definitely have to take her back when she is in her bathing suit! LOL

Guiliana's Post-op appt

I am a REALLY late in posting this but wanted to update everyone on how Guiliana's tubes are working for her. Thursday, June 4th, was her appointment, which was almost 3 weeks after her surgery. I have been a little concerned as to the amount of fluid coming out of her ears but thought that its better that it was coming out than her getting another infection. Dr. Milligan said that Guiliana has a "slight" infection and she needed to have her ears vacuumed out, as she has a tiny bit of fluid sitting in the canal, and she would be starting on an antibiotic ear drop for 10-14 days. Hearing this was extremely discouraging. But, he said after removing the fluid and doing the drops we should be in good shape. We have another check-up a week from Tuesday.
While waiting for the Doctor I took some pictures of her sitting on the little chair. Thought she looked like such a big girl!

I love her in Pigtails!

Guiliana's hair has finally gotten long enough for piggy tails! I tried over the weekend for Bella's Birthday party and thought they were the cutest! So I gave it another shot this morning when getting her ready for the day. To get her to sit still I have to ask her to brush her teeth which we do now twice a day since it seems to be her new favorite thing. We have almost 11 teeth now, so its important!
Think she is so stinkin cute in her pigtails that I had to take a picture this morning.
