Octonauts, Astronauts, and Play Dough

The number one thing N wanted for her birthday was an astronaut costume and Grandma Karyl tracked one down for her. She wants mom and dad to dress up like an alien and a rocket ship at Halloween for her. (: Grandma also fulfilled her wish for ice cream and her friends at the party fulfilled her Moana wishes. Almost every day she asked to listen to Moana on cd while looking at the pictures in the book that came with it. I used a Target Perk to buy the Blu Ray for $15 because I could tell this was going to be the biggest thing since Frozen at our house!

N chose to have an Octonauts birthday parts with a few of her very best friends. It was a joy to help her celebrate. This year, since N isn't a big fan of shopping, I took the money Hubby's family sent in the mail and picked out this ice cream set for her. She loves it so much she won't let it go in the play room kitchen -- it has to remain in her bedroom because it is so special.

It is so cute to see N and her friend that gave her the outfit wearing their Moana clothes on the same day to preschool. I love how much she loves attending there two mornings a week.

Another friend has inspired her to ride her bike to school more often and I'm loving it. Gotta get that balance down on this bike before she can move on to the 16" bike waiting for her.

I wasn't planning on this hair cut, but when your preschool decides to give herself a haircut, you go straight to the salon to get it fixed! N wants bangs but I won't let her!

I've lost her annual check up stats already. I guess that's what I get for being 2 months behind in my blogging! I know she's rather tall and super skinny and I love every ounce of her. She is a joy and is keeping me busy and young at heart. Love you to the moon and back, N! Here's to wishing you a wonderful year of being 4 years old!

Happy 250th Birthday

Please enjoy the following sunrise hike photos courtesy of Michelle. You will not find me leaving the house at 3:00am to hike with friends but I am proud of my middle children when they do. Can an Independence Day blog post be complete without some time at the ball fields? Natalie has her final tournament of the season and it was bittersweet to see the girls play so well but knowing this was the last chance they would have together before some of the girls (N included) aged out. I will always appreciate these coaches, players, and their families for truly making something special. Pool play day was sunny and hot. My alarm went off at 5:30am to be at 7:00am warm ups an hour away. The first game was close but didn’t end the way we would have liked. The second game the girls took a solid beating and then after leading most of the third game, it ended in a tie. Natalie did some great work in the outfield and knows how to make those pitchers work when she hits those foul ba...

Precious Pumpkin

Our Halloween pictures finally made it to the computer. I won't state the name, but let's just say we know a certain 15-month-old who likes to hide things, especially if they are small & silver like a memory card reader. (: Oh look, here she is now, dressed up as a pumpkin fairy! And check out the super neat pumpkin Danny carved. We actually had neighbors make the effort to come compliment him before trick-or-treating began! I have never experienced a Halloween where families hang out on the porch to hand out candy the entire night! I just can't get over how wonderful the weather has been this fall. If there weren't long term consequences, I could really like global warming. Here's the cute little girl helping to hand out candy. She was a huge hit with the teenage trick-or-treaters. My favorite costume of the night was a guy dressed up as a kissing booth. When Dan asked him if that was working for him he replied, "I got a kiss from a 6-year-old ...

Some Explaining

Well, the time has come. We finally got the gutts to take an intentional photograph of what is soon to be a new addition to the family. Surprised? Well, if you haven't seen me in person lately, you should be! And yes, Dan & I were quite surprised too! A couple months after we brought Danny J. home from the hospital, I noticed how much more tired I was waking up in the middle of the night with him than I was when Kaelah was a newborn. I kept asking myself, is there really that big of a difference between ages 26 & 28? I didn't think anything of my period coming late b/c both Dan & I were complaining of nausea. Eventually I went to our family practice doctor & said, "I'm either pregnant or something is wrong with me that I want you to fix!" We ran the blood work & called the fertility specialist after he told me the rapid test came back VERY pink. From then we did the same thing we had done before. Held our breath & took LOTS of medi...
