Happy 6th Birthday Summer Lynn! 5/01/15

Happy 6th Birthday!

 

 

 

6!?!?!? Yes, my sweet girl, who made us parents, is turning 6! And not only that you lost your first tooth your last night of being 5!

Where do I start? In this past year you have graduated Pre-K and started Kindergarten! We have also moved into our new house on Town Hall Terrace. So many new and wonderful changes and you have adapted well! We couldn't be more proud of you!

At our new house we live on a cul-de-sac and you and Tucker are outside all the time! You now have a drawer of play clothes. Both sets of grandparents got you a new BIG girl bike with hand brake and kick stand (and Aunt Beth got you a bell). That has been a lot of fun!

Your first year in Elementary school has flown by as well. You have always worked hard and tried your best. The days are long but we have adjusted. Mommy misses you during the day but has loved coming in to volunteer or have lunch with you.

We have also gone to Disney a ton!! We have annual passes and have just had the best time going to Disney World. Your latest favorite is Kali River Rapids and the new Cinderella Live Action film. We did a photo shoot for your 6th birthday based on the new Cinderella movie.

You have an American Girl doll now that looks like you-even has glasses. That's right-another new thing-you got glasses in September and you are just the cutest thing in them. You of course (not knowing) picked the most expensive Juicy Coutore glasses because they had hearts on them.

You continue to be a caring and sweet daughter and friend. I am so happy to see how the teachers respond to you and your nickname from preschool- Summer Sunshine- has carried to Elementary school. Your innocence and belief that everyone is good melts my heart. And your love and happiness is just contagious.

You also continue to be a wonderful big sister to your littles. You play well with Tucker and really help with Piper. I am so glad the 3 of you are so close.
You have taken swim lessons, done gymnastics, taken a creative arts and wrting class, taken some tennis lessons and tried cheerleading this past year! Whew! Busy girl!

We love you so much and can't wait (well maybe we can) to see what the next year brings!
I did the 20 questions again this year and my how your answers are changing and getting to be so grown up. Below will also be more pictures from your Cinderella photo shoot and your birthday invitation!
It's going to be a great next couple of day celebrating you! Ice Cream at school! Ninja for dinner and the party! FUN! Still can't believe you are turning 6....blink of an eye....I mean I was just pregnant with you!
We love you Summer!

Happy FIRST Birthday Piper Leigh! 12/11/14

Happy First Birthday!

Yes, this is happening, Piper is turning 1.

I truly cannot believe how fast this past year has been. It has gone just as fast as you arrived my Sweet Little P. You came five minutes after we arrived at the hospital and now it is hard to believe that you are turning 1!

You are such a sweet, happy baby. You have kept those baby blue eyes. The exact shade since you were born. Your sweet smile and dimples make us all smile ALL the time. Your giggles are contagious and your big brother can sure get you giggling.

You are such a tiny petite thing but you sure can make your voice be heard. We know when you want something or something has made you unhappy.

You are also so close to walking and have been for several months now. You were crawling by 6 months-and you are super FAST. I think you are so fast so you can keep up with your sister and brother. You have been cruising and holding onto things for at least 2 months but you haven’t taken those first steps on your own.

Let’s talk about you and your Dada! You are a Daddy’s girl! You adore him and will crawl to him whenever he enters a room and reach those arms to him. It is the sweetest thing. You don’t say many words yet but have your own way of communicating. You can say Dada, Mama, that, and your own version of Thank You and Daisy (our sweet beagle).

You like to stick to those you know and cry when passed to or left with people you don’t know real well.

You love food but go through phases when Mama has given you something too often. You never seem to tire of bananas though and you are always trying to steal your big sisters food.

Sweet Piper, you hate baths. Mama has tried all different kinds. You would much rather stand and watch your sister and brother then be in the tub.

You are just so adored in this family and we are so happy you are here!

This past year we built a new house so you would have your own room and now you do! You and Summer share a “Jill and Jill” bathroom (instead of Jack and Jill) and you seem to like to sleep in your own room in your crib. Although not so much that you are sleeping through the night consistently. Mama is ready for that.

You have done a fair amount of baby modeling this past year and you made the ads and some packaging. Pretty neat!

You have already been to Disney World 4 times and you are not a fan of the characters yet. Nor are you a fan of Santa!

WE LOVE YOU!

Sweet girl you have changed so much! Mama had monthly pictures taken of you. Here’s some from your Newborn, 3, 6, 9, and 11 month photos shoots. Also your birthday inviting. Your birthday theme is Winder ONEderland!

We can’t wait to see all the new and exciting things you will be doing over this next year.

Happy 3rd Birthday Tucker! 9/30/14

Wow! It seems like the only blog posts I do now are birthday ones! The most important. I need to remember everything and freeze time as much as I can!

THREE! My sweet love, you are turning 3! How can that be? Tucker, you have one of the biggest hearts I know! Considering you are also all boy and into everything it is amazing how you love. Your eyes melt everyone's heart and your kisses, hugs and sweet words are always there!

You like things done your way and can be oh so stubborn. You still climb and problem solve to get your way-good and bad. ALL BOY is so true.

You are in your second year of preschool and LOVE it. You tell me all about your day and sing me songs. You are counting and know your ABC’s. You are even learning sight words from Summer. LOL

You have finally discovered your little sister, Piper. You love to make her smile and help me with her.

You talk nonstop. I really thought with your big Sister all her talking you might not have as much to say or time to say it but you do. You and Summer talk together a lot and play well together- outside, with Legos and in your pretend kitchen.

We aren’t doing a big party this year because we are going to DISNEY for your 3rd birthday. You will get to dress up like a pirate and we are doing Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. You ask every morning, “What we doing today?” and often ask “We go to Disney?”. We in a little over a week we will be back  to our favorite place!

It’s time for me to wrap some more gifts and get some streamers on your door (in our new house). We will have Cabos for dinner tomorrow night with some of your friends and we already celebrated with the family over the weekend. You are loved!

We love you so much sweet boy!
