Happy Birthday Baby GIrl!!!

I realized today that I never posted about K's birthday!!! Soooooo...better late than never!

K turned 11 this year and she was sooooooo excited! She had a great day (week I should say..) Her birthday fell on a Sunday this year so Friday she went and had a girls night at her friend P's house. These two are like two peas in a pod and have so much fun together...Usually we end up having to drag her home long before they're ready to say goodbye!

Saturday we had a fun filled day...We started with cheering on Bubbs football team and then...GIRLS NIGHT OUT!!! Well, we dragged Dad along this time too! D has had the hardest time with his little girl growing up...SERIOUSLY...rediculous! He's so funny...I straightened her hair one day and he decided she looked too grown up (she really did) and said maybe we shouldn't let her do that till she's in high school! I know crazy right? No he was totally serious...but so was I when I said...ummmm..I don't think so.

Anyway back to GIRLS NIGHT with Daddy...She invited her friend L to go out with us for her favorite..SUSHI, so off we went to Blue Fish...YUM! After we went to CHarmin Charlie's...only the BEST store in the universe! The girls had so much fun..we were there for 2 hours!! Daddy bought her a new birthday dress and some fun trinkets. Finally, off we went to Cheesecake Factory for dessert...we left at 4 and didn't get home till almost 10!! So fun!

Sunday morning K awoke to a pink wonderland and D made her special birthday breakfast! After church we had the P's over for birthday dinner, (she requested spaghetti carbonara and roasted asparagus )and raspberry cake and presents! What a great weekend!

Can't believe she's 11..she'll be in YW's next year! Oh gosh! I can't bear to think of it! Well...we will relish this year before we have to face reality!! Our baby girl's growing up!

Happy Birthday Sweetie...We are so proud of you and I thank Heavenly Father every day he blessed me with you! You are our special girl and we love you so much!

Happy Happy 6th Birthday J!!!

It was the big 6 for my big boy and we're so proud of him! He has been very busy this year with kindergarten and loves being in Miss P's class with his very best friends A and L.

He's also been busy with wrestling and has found something he loves and is very good at. He is a natural athlete and it has been so fun watching him on the mat! It's amazing how focused he can be. I was worried wrestling would make my "rambunctious" boy even more crazy but he is a different person on the mat. I love that as soon as the whistle blows he snaps out of that focus and can pal around with his opponent!

Monday since there was no school we had a fun birthday party for him at the Zone and he loved just having his friends come out for him! Thanks to all that came! It was so fun!

Tuesday was his actual birthday so dad brought home his favorite..chocolate donuts with sprinkles! Then off to school! Since I was out sick, D took cupcakes in for me and did our traditional birthday lunch. I was so sad I missed it!

Birthdays are big at our house and the kids love to walk in and find the house decorated in their favorite color so BLUE it was! I seriously think this is their favorite part of their special day! His dinner request was pizza and then off to wrestling practice. We had yummy funfetti cake (made by dad) and then bed time!

The best part was Monday night after prayers J asked if he could sleep in our bed with us for his birthday. It made my day!! I feel like they're growing so fast I just want to "pause" moments and hold on to them! Happy Birthday J!!

We love you so much and hope you're day was as great as you are!
