Cute birthday party

My family and I were invited to a birthday party this weekend, for a 1 year old. Our neighbors, Kim and Steve, are such a nice couple...doting parents of Griffin. He is an adorable, bright eyed, blonde haired little man. The party was held in the back yard with a magician/facepainter for entertainment. I know, I know, for a 1 year old? Steve was the voice of reason...kind of....he said no to the petting zoo...HAHA! The kids had a blast! The magician kept them entertained with balloon animals, real animals, bubbles, music, a tunnel, and a parachute. Teya loved every minute of it. She was dancing around and smiling from ear to ear. The magician also was an amazing face painter....hence the picture of Teya.

Tiana could have cared less...she just wanted to get down and walk around....we could have been on the moon for all she cared. I think that little Griffin felt the same way, but we had fun! Some would say the party was silly, but I think it was a great success. Thanks Kim (and Steve)!

Before TJ and I had Teya he warned me that if we had a redhead that we would shave her head. I ofcourse always gave him a dirty look and imagined my little redhaired babies. Well, Teya came out with blonde hair and I just figured that any others we had would follow suit. Then, SURPRISE, out came Tiana Kay. Actually when she was born it looked brown, my stepmother kept saying that it would be red. Low and behold...a few weeks later it began to look red. HOORAY! Other than the haircolor it looks like I had nothing to do with the making of Tiana, she is the spitting image of her father. TJ must have really strong genes, both of my girls look just like him...so does Jalon. All I know is that my baby has red hair. Her haircolor is almost the exact color that mine is...I am elated. I read somewhere that in about 50 years redhair will no longer be a phenomenon brought by nature...only a bottle. I guess the redhair genes are passive ones. But as long as I have anything to do with it, redhair will continue...oh yes.
