first i have to say sorry i have been away for so long, you know i am not one to neglect my blog but this move has just about taken all of the wind out of my sails, well, i was way to tired at the end of the day to get around to setting up my office…but no worries i AM SO BACK!  🙂

so moving on…i have continued to take my everyday pics but they have been few and far between and half of them are still sitting on cards waiting to be uploaded to my computer, ha but here is yesterday’s pic and a few extras!

Some of you may not know this, but ever since cheeks #1 celebrated her first birthday we started the tradition of going to build a bear on her actual birthday!  So on every one of their birthdays, on the exact day (so the birth certificates are the exact match to theirs but a year later), we make the trek up to the mall to create a new friend.  First birthday bear is ONE-derful bear, second birthday bear is TWO-riffic, third is TRIPLE-licious and so one…well with the exception of addi’s 4th birthday bear, she chose the adorable rudolph build a bear and we just didnt feel right about changing his name to anything other than Rudolph, hahahaha.  anyhoo so yeasterday we were introduced to cheeks #2’s TRIPLE-licous a deaux!  and please excuse the color if you have ever shot in build a bear you would know the lighting in that store is horrendous, i just prefer the series be in color, so dont hate, hahahaha. 

but in all seriousness, i think this little tradition means as much to daddy cheeks and i as it does the girls…just a little story every year we can file away and tell them all about later in life, because EVERY build a bear trip is not without a little craziness and fun.

and then bc my children share my love of anything and everything iced…we went home and had some birthday cake!
