Happy Birthday to my "Baby"

Whew, what a crazy couple of days. Jason has been working 12 hour shifts at work, from noon to midnight...making me realize once again how much of a help he is to the family. The girls miss their bath time with their papa and play time before bed. Luckily he had a normal work day on Thursday, April 30th.....ANGELICA ROSE....turned THREE. So hard to believe that she is already this old. So many times I still consider her my baby but then realize she is a strong, beautiful, smart and growing girl. We are so blessed to have her in our lives and she makes us smile and laugh every day. She is mama's big helper and getting very excited about helping with the new baby. My sisters Meghan and Caitlin and baby Albert will all be in town this Wednesday so we decided to wait until then to have her party and her butterfly cake that she has requested. So on her birthday she got to go to Marmee's house to play for a bit...they had a lot of fun outside and Marmee gave her some toy frogs (and turtles) she has desperately been wanting to sing her frog song with. (will have to try and post a video later). Then I went and got her a special treat....her Strawberries and Cream drink from Starbucks....she thought she was a very big girl!! The girls both took really good naps and then when Jason got home we took her to Red Robin for dinner. She was not very fond of the life size Red Robin walking around! Then we took her to the pet store to pick out the fish she has been asking for for a long time. So....she picked out two, an orange one which she named Fred and a white one which she named Lily. She is a very good "mommy" to them and keeps telling us that we do not eat them because we do not eat our pets! She enjoyed listening to so many family members phone calls and opening all the cards that came in the mail....so thank you to all!! Happy Birthday sweet Angelica Rose, we love you so much!!

She has seen several people get fish lately and when she went to WALMART with her papa and saw the fish tanks she was hooked!! She said all seh wanted for her birthday was two fish and gummy bears!
