Austin finally had a birthday party last Friday. He wanted a Star Wars bday party. Before we moved, I had this awesome party planned in my head, complete with an appearance from Darth Vader himself and awesome pool noodle light sabers for all the kids. Um, that SO didn't happen. Why?? Because Austin's mom is lame! He also wanted an R2D2 cake. That sort of happened. You see, a month ago- A MONTH AGO- I put an ad on craigslist asking anyone if I could borrow an R2D2 cake pan, since they no longer sell them ( they are like $100 on ebay). I got this one guy who said he had one, and as long as I gave him some money to hold it till I returned it, it would be no problem. So that was the plan. Night before the party he calls and says that he can't find it and forgot that is was in storage in Flagstaff. So its the night before this impromptu party and I have no cake, and no mold for the cake. I finally just had to form one myself. Anyway, so that sucked. But I made one, and lets just say it might look decent from afar. But that is it.
Ok, so R2D2 cake? Check. I had emailed some friends and family the night before. Yes, you heard me. Night before. I told you this was an impromptu party. We just went to the Espee Park Splash Pad for some water fun, and then later, some star wars cake. I think the kids had fun. Here are some pics-
Austin loves playing with his cousins and friends! Then he opened some presents (thank you everyone!)
Blew out some candles on the cake. Oh, and he only got 4 candles. IMPROMPTU PARTY, PEOPLE. That's all I had at the last minute.
Now this next picture is of Austin playing on the playground with his pants down to his ankles. He couldnt pull them up because he was holding onto the thingy that he was spinning around on. We had a good laugh. It is kind of hard to see but he is wearing his Birthday Suit here.
So what was Zoe doing this whole time?? Playing the song from the Star Wars card Grandma Campbell gave Austin. And eating lots of cake. And asking for more and more cake. And getting more and more cake. And storming off into the nearby field because I cut her off from the cake. And then coming back to the party to ask Grandma for more cake. And then getting more cake from Grandma.
Look at her here, looking all innocent. "My Mom said I could have some more cake, if you would just get it for me?? (sucka!)"
Anyway, that was it in a nutshell. I am glad it is over. Now it is time to freaking plan Zoe's. Oh, and the cake wouldn't have been finished if it weren't for my Mom and Cassie coming over to help me with the kids and the stars, my hair wouldn't have gotten done if not for Cassie, and I would have no picture of Austin blowing out candles if not for Kristal. So thanks for everyone's help. One party down, one more to go!
First and foremost, the 4th Twilight book called Breaking Dawn is coming out in 2 days. Travis just told me he read somewhere that Stephanie Meyer is going to write a 5th one from Edwards perspective. That just doesn't seem right to me. Has anyone else heard that?? Look at this cover. I love it. What are your guesses of how this series will end? Will Edward let Bella become a vamp so they can live together forever?? He'd better by golly!
Then Zoe will be turning 3 on the 21st. I can't wait for her Bday party because I get to make this awesome looking princess castle cake. She is very excited too. She asks me almost everyday if it is her "bowfday" yet. Now you guys can't let me get lazy and not plan her party on time like I did for Austin's ok???!!!! Ok. 
Above, you will see 2 total cheeseballs. Good thing I love cheese.
Last week Austin finally mastered swimming with no floaties on!! I am very proud of him. He has been swimming ever since FLOATIE-FREE. Yesterday we went to Cassies neighborhood pool and swam all day. I got a ton of pics of the kids jumping in the pool together, and I couldn't pick just one cuz they all make me laugh! So, sorry, you will see them all dag-nabit and I don't want to hear any lip about it ya' hear? 
As if that wasn't enough, here are some videos of them jumping in. I know, you are so excited you can't stand it right?? Me too. This first one is Zoe doing a "Candonbaaw". WATCH IT!! IT IS ONLY LIKE 20 SECONDS PEOPLE!I don't think you have seen enough of my kids jumping in the pool, so here. This one is for you.
Then last Saturday, we were taking a walk, and some of our neighbors had these topiary things outside. Austin said "Look Dad! Snowman trees!!" like he was at the zoo or something. Very exciting.
(That is supposed to be a picture of Jasmine's stinky feet.. haha)*** Oh, I just remembered some more. Austin and Zoe play "I Spy" in the car all the time. Austin says " I HIGH SPY something...." and when it is Zoe's turn she says " I SOMEPING PY....." ( I something spy, totally backwards huh?) And today in the car, Travis and I were talking about how the desk that the computer sits on kills my back and I want a new better one because I have to lean over it to reach the keyboard. Austin chimed in and said " Mom, you should just get a new back instead." I WISH AUSTIN!!!
Kirklands Black mirror with shelf.
Brand New Pampered Chef Easy Accent Decorator. My guess is that it easily accents decorated cakes.
Microwave. Old model,but works.
Gold mirror. Would be so cute black or something. I wish I had somewhere for this to go, but I just don't. 
So just email me or comment if any of these things interest you. If not, then I guess I will just have to do the dreaded craigslist thing! K, thanks!
Oh, and the cutsie was there also.
No, not me silly.
Diesel... DUH!
He sure is one tough cookie to take pics of. This was the best we could do. But it isn't too shabby I don't think.
So we got all moved into our new house last Saturday, hence the un- updated blog this week. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED US MOVE!!!!!! You guys are all so awesome and we appreciate everything you did for us!!!!! Thank you!!!!!
