We're Baaaaaaaack!

YES! We are finally back - with more blogs to follow. It has been a CRAZY couple of weeks for our family and moving.

We were all set to move on FRIDAY THE 13th! Of course, here in Buffalo it has barely snowed all winter.....BUT, we had to wake up to a snow storm that morning! We hired movers to come move all of our stuff (big items) from our apartment to our house that morning. I had everything planned. I let Noelani sleep in a bit, and was going to take her to daycare so that we could move everything and get her bed set up before she came home that day. About 5 minutes after waking up and looking out of my window, I knew it was going to be a problem. It was a complete white out. Not even 2 minutes later did Antoines phone ring, and the movers cancelled. They wouldn't be able to come until the next day.

That brought us to Saturday - which meant Noelani had to skip dance. I don't like doing that because she loves it, but there was no way I would be able to handle all of the moving and arranging someone to take her. I needed help, cause Antoine had to work and couldn't take off!

Needless to say, this Saturday will be 2 weeks since our move and we are having Noelani's 2nd birthday party!

Because we had to wait an extra 2 weeks to have her party, I took her to Candy Kids Spa the weekend of her birthday so she could do something special. The following week, we went to Disney on Ice.

Here Noey is starting to get her pedicure

Getting ready for a candy facial

AND, after a manicure!

This Candy Kids Spa was seriously the cutest place EVER! She had such a ball, and we will definitely be going back again!!!!

This past Saturday, we went to Disney on Ice. This was also another birthday gift in addition to the Candy Kids Spa. Mommy & Daddy took her. We were front row rinkside. Noelani was SO excited when I told her she would see Mickey & Minnie and the princesses!!

I made a Princess Tiana bun in her hair, and threw in a tiara headband that I got her at The Childrens Place around Christmas time. Nana had bought her some princess tattoos and she found them earlier in the day, so we put one on her cheek.

Her auntie bought her some new princess sneakers, that she HAD to wear. So here she is all dressed up and ready to go!!

She had no idea what was about to happen! She kept saying "open" pointing at the curtain they were behind. But OH MY GOODNESS, when Mickey & Minnie came out, she LOST her mind! I have never seen her so excited. She was screaming and jumped all around!!!! I had to grab her by the back of her hoodie because I literally thought she was going to lunge over the side of the ice rink!

Safe to say she had a good time!! She picked out a "T-Belle" cup (aka Tinkerbelle), that was filled with a snow cone. Don't let the picture decieve you! She barely ate any (for $15!!!!) before it dumped on the floor, and she was left with about 2 inches of PURE sugar juice!!!

This Saturday will be her birthday party and we are so excited! I've had ALOT to do in order to get the house ready....but it will be worth it once she gets to hang out with her little friends and celebrate!!

Happy 2nd Birthday Noelani!

*This is the picture I'm using on her invitations for her party*

Happy Birthday my sweet baby girl!!!! I cannot believe that it's already been 2 years. The time has just FLOWN by! I cannot even remember life without you in it. 

You are SUCH a big girl now. You talk like crazy and are just the most lovable little girl in the world. You are seriously the most laid back little girl I have ever met in my life. To say you deal well with transition, that is an understatement! 

Some things about you:

• You have been in a big girl bed now for about 8 months and have NEVER given us a problem about it. We switched you to it one day and you never looked back. You are such a good girl and sit in there and call for Mommy & Daddy until we come get you (unless of course you sneak books and shoes which are next to the bed)
• You have been pacifier FREE for almost a month now! 
• You can recite your ABC's and count to 13 without my help!
• You must sing "Twinkle Twinkle little Star" 100 times a day!
• You also like to count backwards "5...4...3...2...1 BLAST OFF" is what you always say!
• You L.O.V.E to dance & listen to music
• You are such a good helper - we are moving right now and whenever you see me carrying stuff to the door, I look behind me and you are carrying something haha! Or if I want to vacuum or sweep, you also like to help
• You are such a people person! You make friends in an instant
• You love books - and would make me read to you all day long if I let you
• You are using simple sentences now like: "Help you", "I broke it", "Noey love puppies", "Jazmin come here", "Stand up", "How are you?", "Who's there", "Where is it?", "I love you" - the list goes on and on! 
• Your Dr. even said that you are such a good talker!
• You aren't potty trained yet, but you are trying! You always tell me "Go potty"...you try it sometimes at daycare.
• You LOVE to play with your baby dolls!
• You are OBSESSED with princesses. I secretly love it cause I was a princess girl too when I was younger :)

You have so many wonderful qualities, there is no way in the world I can list all of them!

I am so lucky to be your mommy & I love you so much!!!

Due to our move, we will be having your birthday party on the 28th. BUT, this weekend I am taking you to "Candy Kids Spa"  and then next weekend we will be going to Disney on Ice!!!

MOVING....

FINALLY!!!! I haven't blogged in FOR.EV.ER. But, once we move and have everything settled I promise to get back to blogging!
We finally got our closing date : 1/10/12. That means, two days before Noelani's 2nd birthday, we will be home owners. For her 2nd birthday she gets: A HOUSE....lol well, we all get the house, but she will get a brand new bedroom (shhhh don't tell her!) ;)
I'm redoing her room for her in princess theme. This girl is obsessed...I mean OBSESSED with everything princess. Daddy found her 7 of the 10 following dolls, and I obsessively found the other 3. These are called the Disney Animators Collection dolls. They will be put on shelves in her room for her birthday as well. FINALLY, we will be going to Disney on Ice - Treasure Trove. I somehow got the tickets presale and got front row rinkside for her. She will probably pee her pants lol!!! She is sooooo in love with everything Disney. Mickey, Princess - you name it!

My mother and I went to Michaels and Hobby Lobby to see what crafts/items we can make for her room, and I think we have some really cute things we are going to do :) I didn't want to do the "premade" Disney princess room, but stick with more of a pink & purple "princess" theme (except the dolls above). I couldn't find any bedding I liked, but then I found a reversible pink/purple toddler bedset that will work perfect!

I'm so excited to see her face when she gets to see her new room!!! 

In the midst of this, I am trying to plan her 2nd birthday party!!! The theme is "Look WhoOo's Turning Two". I have about 2 weeks to plan the whole party after we move. Why didn't I pick princess theme? WELL...I'm sure I will have enough of those birthdays in the years to come. Wish me luck!!!!

As I type this, my little princess is asleep in her bed, holding her princess Tiana wand......
