BIG GIRL BIKE

Chloe had her 4th birthday about a month ago. Her big present from us was a big girl bike. She loves her bike and always says she "wants to go out and get some exercise."

There's a lot more than I thought that goes into teaching a kid to ride a bike. It's been a real test of patience for me because she rides so slow! I think she could crawl faster. Part of it is she brakes literally every few seconds. We have yet to make it out of our apartment complex. By the end of the summer, I would love to have her ride down to the park, about a 1/2 mile away. That would be a big accomplishment people.

BUT...
Even with the learning curve for her and me, it has been awesome to watch her learn something new and succeed, even at a slow pace.

Happy Birthday to my youngest sister, Jori!

When Jori was about 5 years old, she had an obsession with the movie 101 Dalmatians.  So, Beth and I would say for her birthday we were going to get her a special dalmatian present...dalmatian poop. I know, original. But, we would get the best reaction from her! It was hilarious...you had to have been there.

So, Happy Birthday, I have a special dalmatian present for you.

Happy Birthday to our Sugar Bums!

We are so thankful and blessed to have you apart of our lives. You teach us so much, make us laugh, and give us joy! We're excited to watch you grow from a baby into a little girl this year.

 

Love,

Your Mama and Daddy

The Big 2!

I cannot believe how fast the last two years have gone by. My sweet little baby is a toddler. People always say how fast time goes, and it's so true.

Happy Birthday Babycakes!

The BIG 2-8

I can't believe I'm 28. It's true people. I know I look like I'm a fresh, young 22 year old, but I'm not. Even though I'm getting older, I still love birthdays. It's a great excuse for Cory to spoil me and to spoil myself. I even made Chloe wish me a happy birthday throughout the day.

Cory was so sweet to me on my birthday (not that he isn't other days). We went to The Melting Pot for dinner. If you have never been, you must go. It was such a fun, intimate experience with delicious food. It took three hours for four courses. Mmm...my mouth is salivating just thinking about it.

I wonder what the next year holds for me. Probably lots of fame and fortune. :) I'll let you know how it goes!
