Our Pixie turned 4... and blogger won't let you see it!

the party was great and all the girls got to have their own special photo shoot! click here to see

I was blessed with lots and lots of pictures to show you, that you would have loved!

Craft making, candle blowing, 4 year old melt down, cake eating, present opening, and dance party-under the canopy of tulle and a crystal chandelier...... HOWEVER, blogger (aaaarrrggg) won't let me upload anything accept this. LAME

There were 11 pixies in attendance, but they were never all in the same place for any amount of time, so this is my idea of a group picture! They made the frames and Kate took their portraits, waaa laaa. Hopefully blogger will find it in it's heart to let me show you the real pictures at some point soon!

all portraits were taken by the lovely and amazing Kate Lane at www.Red-FeatherPhoto.com

And the winner is......

My sister Megan!!

She has always been creative, but I've noticed since her latest condition (of pregnancy) she has been in one big creative spurt! This manifests itself in picture mail of adorable things (I feel bad that all i send her is pictures of me on the toilet with bills at my feet and kids crawling up my legs... probably i won't post that one!)

so i let her know that in honor of her many accomplishments, I have made her the winner of the Mother of the Year Award! Congrats Meg, you deserve it! (below are qualifying submissions)

If you would like to nominate someone for this prestigious honor, send me their portfolio and I too can photoshop an original award to been seen by all their passers by!

pixie preparations......

We are planning the pixie party of lifetime (at least a 4 yr olds lifetime), invitations are on their way, the box of tutus, wings, wands, and halos from here arrived today.

only one problem.....

Party isn't till the 4th of July.... i guess we will just have to practice and prepare until then.

red feather rocks!

Kate (my cousin) at red feather photography came over last night, and my kid made this face for her.....
and I think she's a genius! (click here for her blog)
Thanks Kate for such a fun time..... oh and the cupcakes!

compassionate service leaders

so today I learned about sugardoodle! it's a plethora of information for embellishing an LDS calling or lesson AKA: nourish and strengthen it!

So being the helpy helpful gal that I am, I forwarded my postcards that I use to remind ladies when it's their turn to be on call for compassionate service..... whaaaa laaaa, just like that - I'm a featured Sugardoodler!
