The Birthday Girl!

These pictures are so out of order. Sarah turned FOUR! She's growing up so fast and at the same time it feels like she's been a big girl forever.

(the day we couldn't find Lily's heart beat was Sarah's birthday it is a miracle we even did the party.)

All the kids were so excited about the gifts that they did all the loading themselves. We sat and watched as they carried everything to the car, popped the trunk and all. Hilarious to watch.



Per Sarah's request we went to the park, had a picnic with sandwiches and broccoli. We played and danced. I loved her adorable requests.

We all decorated cupcakes together. Sarah wanted pink cupcakes with strawberries on top. While decorating there were grapes on the counter so they were added for variety at the request of the birthday girl.

We are in love with Sarah. There are many things about years past that I miss about her. She has grown up so fast. I do love watching her grow. I love her sassy dance moves and her determination in all she does. I love watching her little mothering, her independence, hearing her laugh and seeing her genuine smile.

Since she turned four she has been so matter of fact and much more animated. She's so fun. She is so Sarah and I do really love that about her.

It will come of no surprise to all that know her that she decided to start year four with a bang...and a hole in her chin. Luckily for all at the party she took a nap that day or there would have been hysterics. :)

Much love to this Birthday Girl! I love and so much enjoy getting to know you. It is a privilege being your mom!

The simple things!

I love kids! I just love the simple things that entertain them! Would you believe these two played in this box for an hour?! I kept peeking in and checking on them (without being seen of course) because I just couldn't believe it! They stayed in there for an hour!

life is down the drain. :)

A little song from my cheery 3 year old. :)

"Row, row, row your boat, gently down the drain,

merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is down the drain."

Love this girl!

30 and 3!!

These two loves of mine had birthdays last week! Zach is 30 and Sarah is 3! I can't believe either of them! Time really does fly!

This adorable little thing brings me so much joy!

Candle on a marshmallow was the way to go this year! She loved it!

Thanks for being the holder of the mallow Steph!

I'm pretty sure birthdays at the cabin are the way to go!

If you are wearing a tu tu you must dance!..with the best dad in the world!

For his birthday he got 4 hours on the 4 wheeler exploring! And he got an hour ride with me! He pretty much loved it! :)

Now this man means the world to me and I don't ever want to think of life without him!

Happy Birthday Zach! You look so hot on a 4 wheeler!
