Finally B-day time

Momma got sick the day before her 5th b-day party and we had to post pone the big day. She was GREAT about it and I was very proud of her. We ended up having a party in the backyard and everybody brought a picnic lunch. We ate on picnic blankets in the living room and had a dance recital. The brothers of all these sisters performed as well and if I can learn how to get the video up you will fall on the floor in laughter!!

Loved the lip gloss!
Fancy Nancy
My little girl is five and we have a great year ahead of us. Art classes, Kindergarten and her second year of ballet. She is passionate about everything and loves her friends dearly. We have our good and bad days but the good ones have been outnumbering the bad. She is full of imagination and sings quite loud with all of the songs on her favorite Barbie movies. Right now it is The Island Princess. She hates to have her hair brushed and wears a dress everyday. Nightgowns are a must and shorts are only for days when we are getting dirty. Has she seen her dresses?? She gets dirty everyday. I love that she can be digging in the backyard catching frogs in a dress like the one in the pic. She is very well rounded ;) She finished swimming lessons with flying colors and has been getting better at picking things up off the bottom of the pool. She knows what it means to be modest and her Daddy or her brother is who she is going to marry. I love you Baby girl and look forward to all that will change this coming year!

Katherine's check

She wrote her name on the back for the first time

Painting

We went to Family night a couple of weeks ago. This time two other families went with us. We came with quite a few kids between us and we left with a Clown, Princess, Butterfly, Elephant and a Tiger.

Katherine was again inspired and started making her own face creation. Here she is showing us her painted face on paper and then how she copied it onto her face.



Our back porch has turned into the art room. They paint, play-doh, and laugh so much while they are out there. Every once in awhile I gasp at the new creation...on their bodies, but hey it is Summer and they can just play in the sprinkler to wash off.

9 months and crawling

Quite a few mornings we found him on all fours in his bed rocking back and forth.
The week before vacation he was off and now he is into everything! Out come the gates.



We all would go in so proud of him. he would get super excited and just holla at us with his mouth wide open.

Brothers

Evan has spent many hours playing cars. He now plays with Sean and has taught him to make the car sound "vroom". Sean happily takes the car and will fly it through the air while making the "vroom" sound that his older brother taught him.
