FOUR!!!

My how time flies. My little girl turned four a couple days ago and I can't believe it. I have enjoyed watching her mature into a caring, spunky big girl. By far, I have loved the change in her as she has gone from a single child to a big sister. She is the best big sister one could ask for.


She lives to love life and is a very content little girl. She is excited to be growing up and can't wait until she hits kindergarten (one more year to go...eeek). She is spunky and creative. One of her favorite things to do is make up songs and stories. Sometimes they make sense, and sometimes, not so much. She would spend all day being read to if we let her (which I love) and we often spend our car rides listening to books on CD. She has a passion for learning new things and sharing them with those around her. She can be timid until she is comfortable and the she doesn't hold anything back. I love her with everything I have!

This year we entered into the "friend birthday parties". Preston and I took the easy way out and scheduled a gym party. The kids had a blast - I'm sure everyone slept good that night. There was a lot of running, jumping, and playing. Most of my pictures came out blurry...even on the sports setting. 
The foam pit was a big hit with the kids

The party gang

Afterwards, our family headed to our house to have some BBQ and relax.
There was some football watching....

and some present opening

Sun River 2018

For mid winter break, we headed up to Sun River for the week. As always, it did not disappoint! The kids had a blast spending the week with Grandma and Grandpa, all their cousins, skiing, and playing in the snow. This year we started with no snow on the ground and ended with a blizzard that made driving home very tricky. Liam stayed home with Grandma while Callie and I skied. Although it is always hard to be left behind, he loves his Grandma so much and they had an absolute blast together. I'm also realizing that she took all the pictures so I have very few with her...major bummer! We celebrated these 2 boys on this trip.  When there is this many kids, you not only take over the whole run but there it is also very difficult to figure out which way to go.... Grandpa and his gang Pretty soon we won't all fit on one couch. Unfortunately our sister/dad ski day did not go as planned. Sarah took a spill the day before and was not able to ski with us for ...

Another Plane Ride

So, Callie and I spent my spring break in Pennsylvania. It was a wonderful trip and Callie just LOVED being spoiled by all her aunts and uncles, cousins, and grandmas! (she was a bit in shock when we came back home and she was stuck with just mom and dad - she also took a two hour nap the day we got back, which she has never, never (and probably never will again) done, traveling sure is exhausting!). I was a bit nervous about the very long plane ride, but besides not eating at all, Callie did fabulous! Although, she never really did understand why she couldn't grab the people sitting next to us or in front of us. Even though she got sick on the way back, she was still a wonderful traveler. She loved sitting with Grandma and looking out the plane window (yuck!). We met Grandma in Chicago - at that point in time both Grandma and Callie needed a snuggle, so they spent part of our layover cuddling up in the airport. (sorry, I took these with my cell phone) Looking out the ...
