Happy Birthday






It's hard to believe that six years ago today we were blessed with yet another beautiful daughter. Since we didn't find out whether she was a girl or a boy, I can remember thinking back, how I really hoped she was another girl so that Marissa would have a sister to play with. I enjoy watching the girls do all the things that sisters do together!




After school today I picked up Makayla along with 4 of her friends and took them all to lunch at McDonald's. I think they all had a lot of fun. After lunch and playing in the play land we headed home to have cupcakes and open gifts.


Makayla has enjoyed all the cards in the mail and extra phones calls from her family today!!!
Everyone enjoying their Happy Meals.......

Yummy cupcakes....can you tell I had help with the sprinkles??

Last night I told Makayla I needed lots of extra kisses from her because that would be the last time I would get kisses from her while she was still 5. It is hard to believe how truly fast time goes. I try to enjoy every moment!

Welcome to our home at Christmas. When I heard that Boomama was going to be having a Christmas Tour of Homes , I thought that sounded like so much fun because so many of our family and friends aren't able to make it out to visit us during the Christmas season. So here are a few pictures of our home decorated for Christmas. As you walk in our front door we have this little tree sitting in our entry way As you can see I really like snowman! This is leading into the family room... This tree is in our family room and it is decorated with all of our family ornaments. Each year we buy the girls an ornament that represents something from the year for that child. It is a tradition that I have continued from my childhood. My favorite ornaments are the ones that are homemade by the girls! This is our big tree that is more formally decorated and is in our living room. This is our third year with an artificial tree which is definitely less messy but we have had lots of fun with the pre-lite l

1 Year Later

My first post was about celebrating the 4th of July at Mark and Jane's. On Friday we will be heading out to Mark and Jane's for another great 4th with our friends.
