Fast forward
about 8 years
to 2003......
Josh and I got engaged in August of that year, had an insanely/stupidly short engagement of 6 weeks, and got married on September 12th.
....and then I remembered my comment to my mom about nothing cool ever happening in September. And I thought to myself, hey! Now there's something to celebrate every month of the year!! Little did I know that our September nuptials were only the beginning of September celebrations for our family.
Fast forward 2 more years....Joanna was born on 9.10.05.
......then 3 years later, Jayden joined the fam on 9.1.08.
And in a matter of 5 years, our little family now has three good reasons to celebrate in the month of September. And eat tons of cake. ;-)
Jayden's 2nd birthday
Funny story about this dinosaur cake. My parents were in town for a couple days in-between the two birthdays, so we celebrated with them the last night they were in town. (which meant that we had even more birthday cake that week!!)When it was time for Jayden and Joanna to blow out the candles, we told Joanna to make a wish. I wasn't sure if she'd know what that meant, but apparently she did because she proceeded to close her eyes, and whisper in a nearly inaudible voice, "I wish for twinkle toes shoes!!"
Josh and I chuckled to ourselves because she'd been asking for these shoes all summer long.
Twinkle toe shoesLooks like her rich fairy godmother granted her wish this year. She was SO thrilled so I guess it was worth the steep price tag. (have you price checked Sketchers twinkle toes lately?! Talk about highway robbery. At least I had a coupon.) :-D
And for those of us who grew up in the 80's and remember the hideous fashions like those of Punky Brewster, you'll look at Twinkle toe shoes and want to barf all over them. At least they're on her feet; not mine. ;-)
Joanna's 5th birthday

Funny thing, I used to feel the same way about August. In my family we had birthdays in every month, January to September (except August), and then Oct-Dec each have huge holidays, so August is left out. Except my getting married wasn't happenstance like yours. I did it on purpose, just so August wouldn't be left out any more. :)
February is a busy month for our family. 3 birthdays. But we celebrate as family at Olive Garden every year. :)
You are right I am now cleaning throw up off my computer.:)
Happy Birthday Jadyen and Joanna!!!
We miss you!!
