Sailor Sue turns 6!

We decided for Sailors birthday this year to make her a room. This may have been a bit selfish of us to do (Sailor and Preslee were like oil and water while sharing a room) but she had no idea and it was SO much fun to see the look on her face! We got her a new comforter for her bed. Brought in Preslee's old Barbie house. Josh got a little desk pin stripped with her name and a cool design (she LOVES to draw and is quite good at it!). She also got some Barbie's, a new outfit, and movies.









The desk was probably her favorite.

Then after school, it was time for a Birthday Costume Party!!!



Sailor invited 4 friends from school but with the cousins her age, their were 15 kids! It was a blast. Organized Chaos at best. But she loved it and the kids had fun.

We started with pizza. Then we decorated cookies.







Next came a mummy wrapping game.







We played Halloween charades (sorry no photo of this riveting game).

Opened gifts and ate cupcakes (Sailor's request).



Then they danced and danced.





We are lucky to have Sailor in our family.
Happy Birthday Bean Fart (her super hero nickname she made for herself)!

Guy is 2!!!!

I can't believe how fast time flies by! It seems like it was just last week that I was BIG and preggo!



And then his terrifying delivery!



Nope. 2 years have gone by. Crazy!




We were lucky enough to be in Mesquite for Preslee's softball tournament over Guy's birthday (he'll be begging us when he is older to take him here for it again!). He is a pretty easy boy to buy for. Cars. Balls. Animals. And more cars!


He really loved opening his gifts


He had a lot of help.



His farm cake.


To top it off, Preslee's team took 2nd place.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE MAN!

School Photos.

The girls had picture day at school. The packages were outrageous this year and it would have cost more than $100 to buy them. And quite honestly, I really don't like the photos that they get, so I took my own :) I did order each of their school pictures so the could have that memory, and I only spent $27 on them (crazy prices, huh!!!).

A day at the Farm

I am WAY behind on my blogging, so there will be a few posts from the month of October.
The first week of October, Dez, Tiff and I went to Wheeler Farm. It was fun! There were a ton of Geese that weren't afraid of the little ones. In fact, I think they would have eaten them if they had gotten the chance.


Sailor was scared, but Big Guy was there and he pushed her behind him and protected her.


"No! My sister!"

We got the kids lined up for a cute photo.



Then Dalton was off. A mad dash to the small stream to take a freezing (there was frost on the ground), face-first, dip. Dez was just 2 steps behind him but couldn't get to him in time. As she grabbed him out of the water, she dropped her camera, phone, and keys (which she didn't realize until we were on our way out), in the stream.


Dalton didn't mind the swim at all.


These photos do not do justice. He was soaked!

We did see some animals, go on a hay ride, and play on the broken farm equipment (probably their favorite thing).






One more pose for each of them :)





Dalton in his only dry clothes, footed jammies.

1st Day Of School

I can't believe that all my girls are in school now. They all got the teacher that they didn't want, but they really like them now.


I have a sixth grader...that makes me OLD!!!


I had to document how tiny Bailee is compared to her friends :)


They are SO cute!


4th Grade!


Kindergarten!
(Don't ask me why she is throwing gang signs, she just kept doing it)



I thought I'd throw in a few Guy photos. He isn't in school, but he is SO cute!!!

Back to school "spa day"

We have a tradition of pampering our girls and our nieces the weekend before school starts. I LOVE IT (and I think that the girls like it too)! We did a avocado facial with cucumbers to soothe their tired eyes. Mint foot soak followed with a mani/pedi. Sparkling pink girly drinks, and finger foods too. We watched chick flicks and had a wonderful sleepover!
