The Rest of September

Here are some other random videos and pictures from September that didn't otherwise make it into a post.  Enjoy!! :) :)

Birthday Party!!

For this years party we decided to do something a little different.  We have always had them at our house but we figured this year lets go somewhere.  After having 5 years of parties at our house I can certainly see the draw of going somewhere to have a party.  It was great to be able to just walk in and actually enjoy the party!  Normally I feel like I'm running around trying to get the house in order, line up all the games/projects the kids are going to do and then orchestrating it but this year I walked in and a lady just took everything from me and got the room ready to go plus she did all of the clean up too!  That being said I think I like the intimate feeling you get when hosting a party at your house.

Anyways on to the party....we hosted it at an indoor playland for the kids and everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves and the facility.  

Happy Birthday Grace and Eva!! :)

4 Years!!!

Well if six years seemed strange only a week earlier four years is no less strange!  How is the time going by so fast?  My beautiful, wonderful girls are growing up right before my eyes and becoming such wonderful and amazing little girls.  The past four years with this one has been quite the adventure!!  She certainly keeps you on your toes!  She is so full of spunk, yet in the next second she has the biggest heart ever and can be quite the charmer!  I'm sure the next four years and beyond with her will be just as much of a roller coaster but I couldn't imagine anyone else that I would want to be on the ride with than her!  :)

She seems a little crabby in this photo but I had to wake her up to go to school so she is sort of still asleep in this picture!

I love this picture!

Six years, it just doesn't seem possible yet it is!  She has grown so much even in just these last few months! She has such a beautiful and big spirit and I'm pretty sure there hasn't been a day where she's not made me laugh!  Six years but they have been a wonderful and enjoyable six years with lots of ups and downs and we look forward to the next six years and more with her!
