Birthday Preparations begin.

Yes, there is over a month left before Aleeyah's birthday party. I have to have everything done before that day. I can't stand to wait till the last minute to do anything for her birthday. Since her birthday falls on a Monday this year, that means the week after we get back from Branson we will have her party. That really doesn't give me alot of time to prepare. Aleeyah picked her theme this year and the winner was Pink Poodles in Paris. So, here are her hair bows and her adorable dress.

Thanks to JE*Designs, Aleeyah has this cute dress/bloomers to wear the day of her party. I am making her party invites!! I will post them at a later time. I got her party supplies all bought and they are being shipped to me this wkend. Of course after Aleeyah's party we have around 3 weeks before we are forced to prepare for Averrie's party. UGGGG!!!! Aleeyah's birthday list is huge this year. I mean a Nintendo DS and all the games! A carrying case! WOW, what happened to a doll? I know that this means she is just growing up.

I have Jaren (my nephew) three days a week, and his momma asked me to take some pictures of him yesterday. This is the finished product. Jaren would not take the hat off, and would cry when I tried to take it. He looks so much like his daddy it just blows me away. Jana (his mom), wanted a shot in just a diaper with a tie, I told her the hat was a prop I had not intended on!!

Last but not least, I have a prayer request to pass along. A friend of mine has a daughter who is 7 years old. She does not want her name out so I will just leave her daughters initials which are MG. She has been having a rash on her body for some time with a lot of swelling. They took her to a specialist today and they think she has Lupus. Lupus is a disease in which the body builds antibodies that fight the body. Hard to explain, but serious. Please keep MG in your prayers as well as her parents. Pray that they have wrongly diagnosed this baby girl, if not the years ahead will be extremely hard for her.
