My baby is 4!!!

Hard to believe that today my baby boy is turning 4! Happy Happy Birthday Kyan! Also hard to believe that he had such a rocky start to his little life born with premature lungs resulting in a life flight helicopter ride to Phoenix Children's Hospital not even 12 hours after his arrival. Not knowing until the third day that he was going to even live and not being able to hold him until he was five days old was so tough and something that I never saw myself going through, but Kyan is a little fighter and battled his way out of the NICU in just 9 days! He is 110% healthy today and has had no side effects of being too early of a baby! Gosh, not sure why 4 is such an emotional birthday for me...I did not have a problem with Kyan turning 3 at all! He has brought so much joy to my life and is an awesome big brother and a wonderful son!

Wanted to share just a few of my favorite pictures of him (some of them pre-blog era)!

He will be waking up today with homemade fudge waiting for him! I whipped some up fast last night - he thinks he is only getting a cake, as I told him he could have one or the other. I guess you could say that I felt guilty that he gets to spend all day with daddy going ice skating and to a movie, while I work, so I wanted him to have something from me (or to remember me just for a second) today! After his long day with daddy, we are having a little birthday party with a few close friends and family members at Peter Piper Pizza!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KYAN ALEXANDER ROSELAND!!!

It's My Party (and I'll Cry if I Want To!!!)

Today Susie brought Jayla over to do a little photo shoot for her birthday announcements/invitations! When she had family pictures done over Christmas, she spotted a cute idea and we tried it today! After we were done shooting pictures of Jayla, we through Lola in the mix too - as they will be 1 on February 12th! Well...here is the mess that was made!

Superbowl!!!

I think that this flag said it all! It is giant (I know you can't tell from here) and it hangs behind us every game. With each game it holds a new message and this one couldn't have been sweeter! NO ONE thought that the Cardinals were going to make it to the Superbowl, and they did indeed Shock the World!

Enjoy the pictures of our amazing day from start to finish!

Micheal, Chad, and Todd...being BOYS!

Susie and Jearel

Todd and Heather - they were there pre, game, and post-game and manned the grill for all of us AFTER the game! Thank you for making sure that we were all taken care of! They are soon to be newlyweds - can't wait for the wedding on Valentines Day!

Michael and Chad - both had food in their mouths when I took this - so that is my only explanation?!?

Brian on the grill! He is the host with the most at these tailgates and makes sure that everything is taken care of just right! I love that and I thank you B for always making sure everyone is well taken care of!

Chad and I for a pre-game pose!

Tough guys!

Susie came down to the Westgate lawn with hubby to watch the game! Her and Jearrel stayed for pre, game, and post-game action! Had fun chatting without the girls around, even thought we still love them! Don't know how much football watching Sue got in - she was reading Twilight the whole time - or trying to at least!

Chrissy and Frank (in his Cardinal red colors - so proud of you! Anyone who knows Frank, knows he is a Philly fan! He supported his home team with no regrets though) stopped by the party for a little while! So good to see them, haven't really got to hang with them since their wedding just a few months ago!

GO CARDINALS! This is before the game started!

I don't know why, but when they do the GIANT flag it brings tears to my eyes every single time?! I think that I think about my brother in the army...

Somebody should have thought about guarding this guy from the second he came out of the tunnel! Our boy - #11 Larry Fitzgerald!!!

Big Red on the drums before kick off! Kyan loves him!

Hard to spot the Eagles fans at the stadium! We had two sitting next to us - the lady talked Chad's ear off - but they left at half time...idiots!

Standing was the only option at this game! We tried to sit during time outs and at the end of the quarter! That second half was a nail biter for sure! I have never heard the stadium so loud either! Cardinals fans protected the nest the whole game!

VICTORY is sweet!

Number 1 Baby! Everyone was hugging and crying and celebrating after the Cardinals pulled off the victory!

We had such a blast!!! Thanks Cardinals for such a great season and we'll be rooting for you in the Super Bowl!

MAIL

Kyan LOVES mail?!?! Not just because it is his birthday on Tuesday and he just happens to be getting money in the cards, he just LOVES it?! He is always asking if the mail is for him - I wish! So if anyone ever wants to send a letter his way, he lives for it!

Fun Times at the Park

During our family bike ride, we stopped off to play at the park!
