Weddings, Hair Fires and Birthdays.........

I know poor E.baby deserves her own post, but she'll have to live w/ this! :) My little girl turned 1. I am so sad. She's growing so fast. I just love her more and more everyday. I still need to get her 1 yr. pics taken. Bad, bad mommy.

Getting the hang of it

There's ice cream, too???

Hmmm....who is the 1 year old?

2 days after Natali's fire incident and we STILL sit a candle in front of a 1 year old! LOL

Eatting like a big girl

My big girl...so stylish

About a week before the wedding (details below), I had a candle lit, sitting on the table. Bad idea. Natali, who is always sooooo cautious, simply bent down to smell it. Needless to say, half of her bangs caught on fire. She screamed bloody murder. Steven and I looked up and were there in a flash. He beat her over the head until the flames went out. (Okay, so he didn't actually BEAT her over the head, he simply patted the fire out.) Thankfully, we were standing just a few feet away. If not, it would have easily burned her scalp. It stopped just millimeters from her scalp anyways. Another half a second and her head would have been charred. As it was, she made it out, w/ half of her bangs and a pretty nasty burn on her forehead, which has already scabbed over and pretty much disappeared. You can part her hair on the other side of her head and it's easily hidden. Here's the pictures:

The next day, getting ready for school.

Grandma brought ice cream over to make her feel better. It worked.

My best friend since Kindergarten got hitched this weekend, despite my pleas for her to do otherwise. I had the honor of being the Matron of Honor, while Natali was a rather, *ahem* eventful flowergirl. None the less, the pictures are adorable and we all made it out alive. Let's just say she was up all night the night before the wedding, and didn't stop puking until the day AFTER the wedding. Yeah, it was exciting. She was a trooper, though. She threw up just SECONDS after we got out of the chapel. Thankfully, she made it through the wedding, but we had a trash can hidden in case she needed to upchuck during the ceremony. Ugh....
