"BUT MARY TREASURED UP ALL THESE THINGS AND PONDERED THEM IN HER HEART." LUKE 2:19

~ things i love with a capital P ~

PERSPECTIVE, pottery barn patio furniture displays, practically all track jackets, putting my hope in Christ alone, photography, pistachio nuts, parenting as a privilege, pairs of cute sunglasses, painful times deepening friendships, pink bubblegum ice cream (by the pint), perseverance, practical jokes, people, people i can trust, plumeria flowers, pearl earrings that were my grandma's, pantene smooth vitality conditioner, plopping clutter into the trash, pigtails all messed up after naptime on my girls, purel hand sanitizer, painting walls with color, pouring into people's lives, plush blankets, prioritizing, polished nails, pharmacies with 24hr drive-thrus, places where palm trees survive winter, packing away my 2009 "calendar", pacific northwest mountains & rivers, pie plates with fluted edges, purpose, puppies named bronson, preferring the word pacing vs. procrastinating, people who love to say i'm sorry more than they love to hear it, pocket-sized butterfingers, phone calls with special friends, piano music, patterned scarves, practicing not to presume things, planting flowers in pots, passion, penne pasta, panda bears reminding me of my love for HK & japan, pillows that are just right, praise & worship freeing people of pride & insecurities, paying for starbucks coffee with gift cards, putting on my running shoes, pomegranate mixed drinks, putting off dishes till company leaves, purses filled with lipgloss, people who can be vulnerable, parties for every occasion, politeness, plane rides to far away places, popcorn that's air-popped, paul marrying stephanie, pedicures, peaceful homes, price tags with a clearance sticker on them, pre-recorded tv watching, poverty prompting compassion, pieces of angel food cake & strawberries for breakfast, peeking in on my girls while they sleep, products from bath-n-body works, packs of trident spearmint gum, people who can laugh & be witty when life gets hard, paper plates in bulk, papa murphys garlic spinach chicken artichoke de-lite pizza, pretending my girls and i wrote 'put your arms around me' by natasha bedingfield for each other & singing/dancing to it each night after work to remind me to put grace & humor in EVERYTHING (towards myself & them) or it will feel like a really long work week, a very short life, and an inevitable amount of colorful language exposure that i couldn't possibly blame all on the playground...............

we're. crazy. about. these. songs.

Eden Turns 6 in Ponyville!

December 7th, 2009
Mommy's Pegasus Ponies on the way to My Little Pony Castle!

Eden got to dress she and Hallé for the big bash...Can anyone guess what her favorite thing on her is???Yup....Nothing; on her legs that is.

It was Dec.7th-Freezing, and she is a true summer lover after her mom's own heart! Last year she picked the Hawaiian Luau just to get to wear her swimsuit in the snow to the party!

This is Eden greeting her guests (Abby) and helping them each get a My Little Pony "cutie mark" tattoo of their choice


(Have I mentioned how much I LUV having little girls;esp.these two!!
I am so blessed beyond understanding)

This is Eden and Hallé getting their first surprised glimpses of Grandma Jolene's Children's Museum turned into Ponyville Castle!

Time for Games....
Pin the cutie mark on the Pony
with a dizzy brain and a rainbow bandana on!

Time to feed the ponies...

Eden got to pick the "pony snack" she called it.

baby carrots, olives, apple slices, cheese cubes, ranch...and then the adults had taco salad!

I've homemade all the other cakes for Eden and felt pretty clever/proud, but seriously nobody wants to see what it would look like if I ever tried to draw a pony/horse. I have a rule that I will not attempt to draw horses or dogs....It's just UGLY and ridiculous and drives the family crazy b/c they just want to see my embarrassing attempts. I tried talking her into a rainbow, waterfalls, you name it but she just kept giggling and saying "pony pony, please draw a pony"....so I dealt with it as anyone would; I called WalMart! Problem solved.



Don't worry though it still had a personal touch-Trick Candles!

This is her trying to figure out what in the world is going on!
!

Last year, gift opening was almost a riot-not funny ha ha....but a mob scene, so Eden loved that she got to be throned up on the stage to open and thank each person for their gifts. She got a wonderful digital vtech camera from her gma and papa which was cute to watch the love I've helped her gain for capturing moments. Many, many other special items-don't want to leave anyone out, so I won't list, but we know how blessed and spoiled we are with or without a pony Birthday Party

Gma Jolene and Papa surprised her with a Pinkie Pie Pinata....I think the relief was felt by all after last time, that this pinata falls apart as you pull each individual ribbon off!
Happy 6th Birthday NiNi!

    Looks like a super-fun party! Riley is just now getting into My Little Pony after getting some for Christmas. Your girls are just beautiful! I would love to get together with all of you for a play-date when we come into town next!
