First Sleepover

Ally and Jillian are the best of buds. The highlight of springbreak (since the weather was so crummy) was their sleepovers. Kaitlyn had Ruby over a few nights before. Ally went to Grandma's that night (she thought is was a much needed break from her sister). Ally was thrilled when Kaitlyn (the third wheel of all play dates) went to Grandmas and she got Jillian all to herself. It was a fun girls night...with lots of curls the next morning :) They stayed up until 12:30am. Ally didn't know how to get to sleep at that point and was a wreck!

Now I don't know what to when the girls are asked to have a sleepover elsewhere. Hopefully, the parents won't think I'm hypocritical when I say no and hopefully I can find a tactful way to say it. Nothing against the parents, I just know my girls and their need for mom and dad in the middle of the night.

Reese Arrived!

Jeremy's youngest sister delivered beautiful Reese Rebecca on March 30th. This is her 4th child. So happy everyone is healthly and doing well! Congrats Becky, Steve, Sydney, Steven and Tori, she's a beautiful addition!

Jam packed day of fun!

It's official, Kaitlyn is 5 and SO happy! A common statement from Kaitlyn when she's pleased is "You Rock!"


When Kaitlyn returned home from pre-school, she and I had about an hour to enjoy each others company. Grandma came over and had lunch with us. After that we headed to pick up two of Kaitlyn's closest friends, Talitha and Ruby. They all had a great afternoon at Kids Club, then back to the house for presents, dessert and craft-time.


Once the girls were picked up, our family headed out for a great family fun night. It started with the best chinese food ever, free birthday tokens at chuck e cheese, then ice cream. It's lots of fun to be together and celebrate our little sweet Kaitlyn!

Our Baby's Turning 5!

We were so happy to celebrate Kaitlyn's birthday with our family last night. It's always difficult trying to accomodate everyones schedules. This time, a saturday night party worked wonders! Both sets of grandparents, Aaron, Katie and their kids Lauren, Audrey, Rachael and Thomas made it in addition to Kevin, Heather and little Mya. That's all the family close by these days.


This was a Hannah Montana themed party: cake, music, deco, games, etc. The kids had a great time playing "Don't Eat Hannah" and "Pass the Present". It was fun watching them play and enjoying the company of our loved ones. Thanks everyone!!!

More "Goodbyes"

Rosco and Ella went bye-bye this morning. Kaitlyn was a little sad, but not quite as devastated as Ally (more time to cope with the idea). We are thrilled that some friends from church took little Ella and Rosco and don't live far from home. The girls are so happy they'll get to visit...although I'm not sure if they are more excited to visit the goats or the miniture pony they own :)

Here are Kaitlyn's goodbye photos:

Resemblance?

I can't believe I forgot to post this pic of Kaitlyn with her great grandfather in the last posting. It's a great picture of the two of them and I'm amazed at the resemblance I see in the two of them.
