yahoo for visitors!

we have been spoiled this month to say the least. aunties rikki and delayna came to visit!

for those who may not know them, delayna is the tallest one and rikki is the "steve irwin-look-a-like" in that photo.

we had SUCH a great time while they were here, that i pretty much forgot about taking any pictures. BUT, it was rikki's birthday, and i did manage to be responsible enough to remember the camera for her celebration!

... it was a rikki rock star theme... maybe just "rik-star" for short...

i asked her to shred the guitar for some photos, which she kindly did. she just didnt realize i was actually video taping her. this ones for you rik....

part of her celebration was also a sleep-over! larissa and i got to hangout all night with the girls and not have to think of brushing someone elses teeth or changing diapers! our kid-less and boy-less night consisted of swimming in the pool at night - so fun- a wild game of truth or dare - also very fun- and late night chatting. then we even went to get pedicures in the morning!

this actually is very silly and kind of dumb, but it made us laugh at the time. so here goes. rikki and i both got the same pretty color polish with our pedi. we saw the girl next to us getting it and we both looked at each other and said "i want that" just like the lady on napoleon dynamite. i asked my asian pedicurist what color it was, and after several repeats i finally figured out she was saying "tahitian sun" but i asked to see the bottle just to make sure. boy, was i WAY off. it was actually called "cajun shrimp". i loved it so much i bought it and now ellie even has "simp" fingers and toes

these other pictures are the only other shots we got while rikki and layna were here. sadly, neither are in the pictures

for rikki's b-day gift, we decided to let her be the first to know about baby #3 and invited her to come to the ultrasound with me. we had a great time and it was such a special thing to share with her! i love my sisters!
