Zach is 9!

 Zachary Fredrick is 9
 Cinnamon roll cake for breakfast




  I stole Zach from school, along with his best bud Caleb & Kelli. Zach choose his favorite IN-N-OUT, then to FANZ for a new hat, & Traverse outlets for a new basketball.
We ended our date with a "Common Cents" stop for a Slushee and treat...a perfect ending!
 Family time, we all talked about Zach & what we love about him, then gave him a little tickle torture.
Zach & his new kicks! He picked these out on-line & was so excited about them!
We all sure do love Zach! He brings so much good to our family and has his own unique style & personality which we adore! Zach lights up a room and is nice to almost everyone (except bullies...in his words).

A HANDFULL of Mylie!

 5 years ago, our bright eyed Mylie Faye came into our family! 
That was a happy day!
Mylie, today you are 5! Today you love girlie stuff, lip gloss, baby dolls, your new Kit American girl doll, your brown cowgirl boots, cereal for every meal, friends,treats-treats-treats, Doc McStuffins, your beanie, quiet time, playing outside, your new Barbie scooter, tubbies, Barbie movies, Gogurts, playdates, being Annie's shadow, your cousins, playing with Nick every morning after the older 3 go to school, & dressing up. Today, you do not like being in trouble, and I have to say "It's ok" and give you a hug to make everything better. Today, you are in Preschool. Today, you have short white-blonde hair that doesn't really grow, but we talk a lot about the day that you will have hair like Rapanzel. Today your eyes are so crystal blue, we can almost see through them. Today, you laugh so hard & can not stop...& we love it. Today, you get frustrated when you don't get what you want. Today, you use words like "delightful", "beautiful", "precious", "lovely", & "delicious" all the time! Today, you are a bit OCD, and can't handle certain smells, the way certain things feel, and the way somethings look...you get a bit nuts! Today, you make us laugh so hard, say the funniest things, and make the funniest faces. Today, you are sweet, tender, innocent, fun, loving, smart, energetic, funny, & our favorite smiley Mylie! Happy 5th Birthday little lady!

 Singing to Mylie! It was a simple day, hanging around the house, playing outside, helping Mom get her cake ready, opening a couple presents, having cake & ice cream with family and  friends, & riding her scooter in the house before bed.  
Mys request for dinner was cereal, which she got! 


 New Barbie Scooter!

Annie is 7!

We celebrated Annie's 7th birthday a few days early,  
since we were leaving to CA. 
 Annie's "real" birthday was spent in one of our favorite places, California
We were in Disneyland on her big day...lucky girl!
 After getting made-up at the Bippity Boppity Boutique! She was a Birthday Princess!

 Her pick for dinner was a Jamba Juice in Down town Disney.
 Baby Annie!
 Now Annie is SEVEN and she's a little slice of Heaven! She loves, loves to read and is picking it up quick. She loves to share! She asks to bring two extra treats in her lunch, so she can share with friends. She is very coordinated and good at dance & gymnastics...almost has the middle splits. She is dying to start gymnastics & soccer. She just started Piano last month & I love to hear her practice. Annie loves friends and doesn't want to miss a second of anything. She loves stylish-girlie stuff! Annie is aggressive, strong-willed, & makes friends everywhere she goes. We love this girl so much & are super fortunate to have her apart of our forever family!

This was a highlight for the girls & I! So fun to watch them get pampered by their very own Fairy-god-mother! They got their hair done, Make-up done,  nails painted, & were given a sash & backpack with beauty supplies. Worth every penny!
 Happy 7th Birthday Annie! One she will never forget!
