Big 4 year olds!

Over the weekend, we celebrated Harper & Tori's 4th birthday at Eckert's Farm.

The girls wanted Minnie Mouse cakes

Silly Jilly the clown

She was a hit!

We packed our tractor full for the patch ride!

What a day at the pumpkin patch.

We were blessed with beautiful weather & great company,

Thank you to all who came out & celebrated Harper & Tori's 4th birthday!

Party at the Patch

Yesterday, we went on a field trip to the pumpkin patch with Harper's school.

All 60 kids & around 20 adults boarded  a yellow school bus & headed West.

Meet Rainbow Brite!

The morning weather was absolutely beautiful for a field trip.

Harper's first taste of claustrophobia!

Notice the child limit.

Who's watching these kids?

Is there any supervision?

Harper, Blair & Miss Katie

Miss Sunny ( Shh...Harper's fav )

She loved having her mama there.

Prized pumpkin that she picked all by herself

Bye Bye pumpkins, see you next time!



My Love Bug

My little love bug had a special birthday last week.

It's not your special day if you don't bring treats to school.

We decided on purple cake pops.

It was my first time making them, but it was OH, SO easy!

If anyone knows my baking skills, they're pretty weak.

Even I, could master cake pops!

She wanted to wear a pretty dress to school, so I let her.

Normally, she doesn't get to wear dresses because she's a dirtbag at the end of the day.

No presents yet, she had to wait all day for her surprise.

Waiting patiently under the table with her eyes closed....Don't peak!

She was the proudest 4 year old on the planet!

Melaina in tow saying " My turn, My turn"

Healthy birthday meal of pizza, cookies, brownies, cupcakes & soda!

Shakespeare's Pizza with the usual suspects!

Happy Birthday sweet girl

We Love You!

Special Sunday

My girls took the plunge....

Harper & I have been talking about piercing her ears for awhile now.

We agreed that when she turns 4 (which happens to be tomorrow), she can get her ears pierced.

I told her that it's gonna hurt for only a second.

She said she wouldn't cry.

We finally carved out some time to make the trip to the mall.

My brave girl didn't even shed a tear which amazes me.

If anyone knows her, she is the most dramatic child ever!

How do you like her pink hearts?

Bria joined in on the fun getting her ears double pierced.

She didn't cry either.

Melaina said she wanted hers done also

She didn't know what was ahead of her.

Delayed reaction which didn't last very long.

I felt bad about her pain but she seemed the most excited about her earrings.

Showing off their new earrings.

The littles were so excited to show daddy.

They were still very excited this morning to show their teachers & friends at school.

What a special Sunday!
