Lexi's NINTH Birthday party!!

Today was Lexi's 9th Birthday party! The weather was gorgeous....hot and sunny, and PERFECT for a pool party!!

Olivia wanted a picture of her favorite snack at the party, lol!

We had a water balloon toss, which turned into a water balloon fight...

My home made Puppy cake was a hit this year...first year in FOREVER that I haven't made a Pikachu cake!!

Present time! Lexi got a ton of fabulous gifts!

We had a Puppy pinata...kind of wrong seeing my animal loving child beating the dog with a bat, lol...and it took FOREVER to break open!

We gave out water blasters for favors, with the saying 'I had a blast at Lexi's 9th Birthday!' written on them....gave them out mid-party, and the kids went nuts shooting everyone with them!

The end of the day...some tired kiddos!

Happy Birthday baby girl!

A girl and her dog...

I wanted to test out a new setup yesterday, and asked Lex if I could take her picture....she insisted that it would only be ok, **IF** she got to pose with Lucy...

Cody is turning 2!

Little Cody man, is turning 2, and looks like such a little man now! My first time taking Cody's pictures was when he was only 7 weeks old...

....he's not big on holding still, is a rough and tough little guy on the move!

Tried to get a 'cousin' shot, but neither one was having much of it!

Lil' Cohen on Cody's dirtbike.....I don't know Momma, he looks pretty happy...

So, Katie....I'd love to swing back over after your vacation, and snap a few more of Cody, if you're up for it!

Lexi is NINE!!

Lexi is now NINE, and had a fabulous year!! Come see how much she's changed...I feel like she is so much more grown up looking now **SOB**!

In July of 2008, Lexi celebrated turning EIGHT with a Pokemon party...

....and became a BIG sister again!

In August, Lexi got some SUPER cool hair extensions....

...and had her first day of school...

In September, Lexi celebrated Labor Day at the beach...

In October, Lexi was a cheetah for Halloween....

In November, after getting back TERRIBLE school photo's, we decided to do our own...

In December, we did pictures for Christmas cards...

In January, Lexi wanted pictures taken with her favorite pooch...

In February, Lexi decided she wanted home made photo valentines to give out...

In March, Lexi celebrated being Irish for St. Patrick's Day, by wearing her festive clothing...

In April, during vacation week, Lexi posed for pictures with her little sister...

In May, Lexi had her dance recital, and loved her Irish Step class the most...

In June, Lexi posed for her birthday invitations...

...and cut 8 inches off her hair...

In July, she celebrated the fourth of July with family and friends...

And here she is last night, at 8:00pm on July 5th, 2009, after a loooooooong day at Canobie Lake Park....EXACTLY nine years after she was born... This week we'll be doing her '9 year old' pictures.....her 'friend' party is on Sunday.....family party at the end of the month...someone please tell her to STOP growing up!!

Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July from girls, all dressed in their festive attire!!!

A couple of my fireworks shot thrown together, so you're not stuck looking at a gazillion different fireworks pictures...Lexi loved the fireworks....Livs was a bit bored with them, and Bells glanced at them every now and again, but had no real use for them!

A couple more...

Here are a couple more from the other day. I don't know if its the braids, or what, but for some reason, Livs was having a SUPER sweet day, no mischief in her eyes whatsoever, lol!
