hoppy easter...

hoppy easter: we had a lovely easter. Saturday was a little dreary outside so we stayed indoors and did craft projects, as well as make a cake (see below). Sunday was a GORGEOUS day for so many reasons (see below). It was a memorable and hoppy easter for all!

how cute!

question: how many times should a parent have to listen to "music box dancer" before banning it from their household? we are pretty close to that number...

happy birthday, princess...

happy birthday, princess: sophia had a fun-filled and memorable third birthday. Here are pictures from her third birthday! getting ready for her birthday party at daycare... standing next to her big wheel from mom and dad...

at applebee's for her birthday supper...."oh my gosh! i see them coming!"

"they are clapping for me!"

"now they are singing to me!"

another birthday cake at home

(daddy and sophia decorated the dq cake with her name...can you tell?)

what a great birthday!

giddy up...

giddy up: we celebrated sophia's third birthday yesterday in cowgirl style! Sophia LOVES horses, so it was only fitting to have a horse party. We were so fortunate to have MANY friends and family with us to help celebrate this special occasion. Here are some pics from all our "horsing" around... sophia waiting for her party to start! (at the end of the evening, we cleaned up the party, and put the vehicles back in the garage. later, sophia saw the garage and asked, "is my birthday all done?"

the big hit of the party were these boot glasses...fun for all the kids (big and small)!
