Ma Petite

My "Little One" celebrated her first birthday!! Can you believe it? Now she is a big girl" and is trying hard to keep up with her older brother and sister and she is not far behind them anymore....yep she has started walking and gets sooo excited when she walks from one end of the room or hallway to another and makes sure you are watching and cheering her on! Z & A are her biggest fans :o)
We decided to go to UT to celebrate her turning one with my family. On our way we stopped in CO and spent time with Mike's brother and family, went to the Zoo and hung out. While in UT the kids could not get enough of their cousins. We had so much planned to do together it is amazing they didn't get sick of each other. We played a ton in Papa & Mamo's backyard (the weather was Fantastic), swam in the hot tub, even set up a lemonade stand and did fun crafts & projects!!

On S's b-day we were able to see Mama Mae and spend time with her and other family and then we had a party to celebrate the big 1. Lots of presents, a pinata and her very own Elmo cake. She loved it and of course got good and messy (that's my girl!). When we sang to her she even blushed and shied away a little bit when opening her gifts. She is definitely my daughter....does not like to be the center of attention! ~Happy Birthday sweet Baby Girl - We Love You!~












































Thanks for a fun visit everyone....XOXO

Happy, Happy Birthday

We celebrated A's birthday a few weeks ago. She was so excited to be finally turning 3! She kept telling us that soon she would be 4 like her brother....not quite understanding the difference in age. She is quite the young lady. I say that because she is actually 2 (now 3) going on 16. My word if this is a preview of her teenage years, heaven help us :) I was once told that as parents we endure the "Terrible Two's" and then comes the "Trying Three's" Oh boy look out. She definitely has a mind of her own and don't try to change it. She keeps our lives interesting and oh how I love her so much!!!!

She wanted a pink cake with pink sprinkles!

She wears her red "Princess" dress ALL of the time....

Thank you to her cousin 'S' who gave it to her.

One of the "Princess" dresses from her dress up chest!

Notice her dress is different?! Yep she changed within 5 minutes!

It is our tradition...stolen/borrowed from my sister ;) The night of the kids birthdays

The Greatest Show on Earth

I am trying to catch up a little....Back in January Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey's circus visited music city!! So we, along with some friends, decided to go. It has been years, I mean many years since I have been and for Mike and the kids it was a first! They loved it, well at least Z & A did, S just wanted to sleep but unfortunately we didn't have her carseat or stroller and she won't go to sleep in our arms...so I ended up pacing the halls near the end to try to get her to sleep. It is so great to have good friends to spend time together and enjoy fun activities as the circus!! Such talent...and I don't mean the people...the animals were incredible.
