I had to show off the other goodies I snagged for Mae.
There is a HUGE Forever 21 here in Pasadena. They have a girl's section that sells clothes for older girls, but the XS stuff fits Mae as far as loose fitting t-shirts go. They also have the cheapest and cutest accessories. Here's what I got for her birthday outfit:

Josiah picked this out for her. He was very serious about it. He took his time, asked my advice, handled everything & finally settled on this perfect little owl necklace for her.

Mae's top. It's cream colored & basic in the front...

The back has a bolt of lace in it. So cute. Perfect with her new jeans and moccasins. 

A couple of little bows. So stinkin' cute.

I'm planning everything & my friend Megan is graciously sharing a PDF file of decorations from her twin's owl party last year. I'll be sporting my owl shirt & necklace. I'm on the hunt for something for Cam & Siah to wear. They might just end up in their basic v-necks to match the decor. Not too many manly owl shirts out there.
I received a coupon in the mail today from Vons for a free individual cake when I buy a sheet cake. Sounds like a deal to me!
 I'm still in shock a bit that my baby is three. She's a neat little girl who loves her daddy, brother, cats & riding her bike. She also loves to talk about Jesus and how he lives in her heart. :) I'm glad to be her Momma.

Whooo goes there?

I'm not sure how it snuck up on me so fast, but I've *officially* started planning Mae's 3rd birthday! It seems like just yesterday that I was planning her 1st Birthday party, a "Little Mermaid" water party at our old house in Corona. We had water balloons (graciously filled by none other than a newly married Bonnie Rojas), a kiddie pool and water guns. Cameron and I had something even more fun: the flu. Cameron spent half of Mae's party on the floor of our bathroom. I threw up a few times and had to still play hostess. Thank God for my parents and cousins Summer & Renee who took over certain duties from me. That was the worst I've ever felt with a flu. The party was still a success and a perfect 1st Birthday for a girlie-girl.
 Her 2nd Birthday was "Frontier/Cowgirl" themed. I pulled inspiration from classic Disney films like "Davey Crockett" and vintage ride posters for Frontier land. Click here to see a few classic Disney posters. We have three hanging on our living room wall. I also worked Jesse the Cowgirl from Toy Story fame in there as well. I have to say that it was really cute. Plus, neither my husband or I were barfing, so I say that's a major plus!

This year Mae has been in love with anything that involves owls. She even has an imaginary owl that sits on her finger. ;) So we've decided on an owl birthday. I can already see it: Guess whooo is turning 3?
I've found a few wonderful little inspiration sites and can't wait to really get stuff made. Seriously. How do I have a three year old who is my YOUNGEST? Time flies.
