A little bit of random

Hey! Yes I'm back from Indi from visiting my lovelies, my nieces. They are such good babies - I was so impressed. The schedule is so rough on Lisa and she is so strong and I love them all and miss them all so much! I want to go back next week and the week after boo. I took lots of pics and I will post them and halloween excitement of my little ninja as soon as I can - but right now I just need to stop looking at a McDonalds' post - it's making me queasy as we speak to think about.

Happy Birthday last monday to Krissy Poo - that Kristen Michelle - Weston had one job in the party preparations and that was to decorate the cake. He didn't do such a hot job. Don't worry I will never attempt to decorate a cake again. Not to mention how did I overcook my specialty Texas Sheet Cake? Those of you who are unfamiliar with the Texas Sheet Cake, the secret is to put the frosting on while it's hot so that the frosting melts into the cake and it's not so much a cake but buttery chocolatey heaven in your mouth. Only I didn't wait long enough to put my ugly handwriting on the cake Thanks a lot Sandra Lee for cake decorating tips that didn't work so well. Ridiculous I'm so embarrassed.









Guess who else is back?! Ronny and Kristen! That's Aaron and Kristen - I'm so happy their blog is back because if you missed her specialty of costumes for CoCo and Lucy you are missing out! Kristen is crazy creative and I can't wait until she dresses her kids up. It will be ridiculous.


A few pictures to pacify you until I can regain my energy and take on a halloween post.
Funny Face Afton - She makes me laugh so hard

What I learned from my trip to Indi with Lisa:

1) These twins do NOT make you not want to have more kids.
2) I want to more like my sister - sappy I know - but she is ridiculously amazing. I love the Esplins - even you Adam!

So glad you had a fun time with your sis and adorable nieces! I am feeling so sorry for Lisa right now.... the first 3 months are rough!! Sounds like she is doing a great job! Tell her to hang in there, it gets easier!

P.S. Your cake isn't that bad at all! Looks yummy to me! :)
