Three Years Old

Three years ago, on 7-29-06 at 10:39pm, this little girl surprised us when she entered the world so early. That little 3 pound bundle of joy is now a 31 pound bundle of pure girliness. She likes flowers, and dresses, kitties, and princesses, but usually gets more dirt on her face than her big brother. Tonight she told me she didn't want to grow up, she wanted to stay a baby. I

told her she would always be Mommy's baby. Happy Birthday to my sweet baby girl.

If Gracie had her way, we would all dress like this. :)

Gracie's Luau Party

Gracie had a luau themed "swim" party this year. We set up the water slide, a sprinkler, the little kiddie pool, a water table, and let the kids have at it. They had a blast. With three girls and three boys, it was the perfect size party.

Fisher insisted that we needed tickets for our guests to get into the water park. I think the excitement got to him though, and he only handed out about half - lol.

I made her a pretty little flower clip for her hair, and she wouldn't wear it. You never know with that girl. At least she wore it for me to snap a couple of pics.

I think the kid count was 5 in that little house!

Let's LIMBO!! The kids really had fun with this. Who knew a cane pole could entertain for so long? :) Riley was really good at it. It was so cute when he was nearly bent over backwards trying to go under, and Chloe walked right under not even needing to duck!

Nanny brought her flowers for her birthday, because last week Gracie said "flowers make me happy". :) In the background, you can see Fisher ogling what makes him happy - tractors. lol

She was so proud when we started singing for her!

"Riding" the dolphin down the slide - so funny!

Hula-man

Raegan's Tea Party

The day after Gracie's party, Raegan had her birthday party. It was the sweetest tea party! Amy, Linda, and Linzi decorated hats for everyone, and the table was beautifully set with real tea cups and saucers. I was a little worried Gracie would drop her cute little teacup, or at least spill her juice, but she did a great job! After "tea", finger sandwiches, and other snacks, the kids played lawn games. Too cute to see all the little girls in their hats playing croquet!

4th of July

We had our own little fireworks show here at home, and it was really pretty neat! The kids had fun - Gracie was braver than Fisher! After watching his little sis do several sparklers, he finally decided he would try a few out.

Gracie saw this photo tonight and said "Uncle Keh-hin, holding me and Er-her (Fisher). I like it when Uncle Keh-hin holds me". How sweet is that??
