Happy Birthday, Arilynn

Wow, time flies when you're having fun! 

I'm trying so hard to enjoy our moments together. Sometimes I wish I could freeze her in time...she is so much fun. She still has an innocence about her that I wish would stay forever, her imagination is delightful, her excitement is contagious, memory is unforgettable, and her vocabulary is hilarious!! When I say she is full of energy, I mean she overflows most days. She loves her Mommy and Daddy (being a big Daddy's girl) and is very protective of her little brother. She also loves Jesus with as much knowledge as a 4 yr old can understand. She still likes to give hugs and kisses and snuggle at night. She loves books!!!, music, playing school, making cards with Mommy, and "helping" Daddy.

Some of my favorite things she says:

"Mommy, do you know Jesus loves us?"

"Let's go to Max Lucado's (Cato's/TJMaxx)."

"You're my best friend!"

"I wanna eat at Old McDonald's. (McD's)

I wish I did better at keeping track of the things she says. Maybe I'll get a journal and keep it out to write them down. She is always making us smile.

Lazy 4th of July

Were ya'll still wondering if I was alive? Yeah, me too. 

We had a lazy 4th of July and it was nice!!! 

Lovin' Life

Met dad in town for a picnic on his lunch break. 

 

More Birthday

I guess you can tell we had a "farm" theme. ;)
 

Cake idea came from Pinterest. It was easy-peasy. I cut out the spots from sugar sheets found in Walmart cake decorating aisle.

The cutest farmer!!!!!

Birthday Cake

It's hard to believe this little booger has already had his 1st birthday!

He loved the cake (did quite opposite of how his sister reacted). :)

Addy Comes For A Visit

Our house has been "hopping" this week. Our niece Addyson is giving Mom a break and having fun making memories with her cousins. They have had a blast! (We got quite a few stares going to Wal-Mart)! LOL

 

She was so worn out she fell asleep sitting on the couch.

 

Lots of giggling had me to inquire and find this:

Bathroom Pics

Let's see, how long has it been since I took these pics?

 

I finally got frames for them and put up.
