Weekend Update: Birthday Edition

By 4 Comments

Hey y’all!
Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend! 
We spent the weekend celebrating Little Girl, Jonna, and Joyce’s birthdays! Of course, we had to have another princess party :)
How cute is she? And how huge is that cake? :)

Rapunzel watched me eat. It was a little creepy.

I had to have a Cinderella cupcake. She’s my favorite!

I love this sweet girl so much! Can’t imagine life without her!

Sweet Little Miss

Little Bit loooooooves cupcakes!

Mikayla and Jonna! I told them “act like you like each other” and this is what they gave me :)

Opening presents! She was so excited!

So much attitude in such a tiny little body…

Oh Joyce…she’s one of the most amazing people I’ve ever met. Thankful God brought her and her family into my life!

Little Girl trying out her new skates! She had so much fun!

These silly faces just crack me up! She’s going to be the queen of Instagram selfies one of these days! 
I loved getting to see her birthday excitement. I don’t know how much birthdays were celebrated before she came into our lives, so we all love making her day really special. When she told me goodnight before I left their house, she hugged me and said “Thank you for my presents and for my birthday party. It was so fun!” I almost cried! At church yesterday morning, she hugged me and thanked me for her presents and her party again! I think she enjoyed it!

A Little Bit of Life Lately

Hey y’all!

Not a lot happening around here, at least not a lot of blog-worthy stuff. Here’s a little bit of what I’ve been up to lately.

We had a little going-away dinner for Haley a couple of weeks ago! She’s leaving us to go to college. She’ll be close enough that we’ll still get to see her, but it’s going to be sad not having her around every day. She’s going to do great in school, and we are so excited for this next chapter in her life!

The chocolate cake was soooo yummy!

Sarah has been with us off and on all summer too! It’s been nice having her back for a bit. We sure miss her!

The bank a couple of doors down from us at TVP brought in an ice cream truck a few weeks ago and gave us coupons for free ice cream! It was a fun little surprise!

I’m having the best time with my sweet kiddos in Bible class. Wednesday night, we made popcorn, also known as manna from heaven :)

Jack’s favorite game is attacking someone’s hands. It’s not a fun game for anyone but him!

I helped Joyce clean out her classroom last week and found this super creepy doll. Definitely trashed that toy :)

Little Man just celebrated his second birthday!

Poor guy! Colby was being…Colby.

Trying to steal Little Bit’s cupcake

Little Miss sure enjoyed hers!

So did Little Girl :)

Future baseball star (if Colby has anything to do with it)

Joyce’s niece Mikayla is here from Japan to go to school! Excited to have her and Jonna both here this year!
Is anyone else super sad about Lee Thompson Young passing away?
I was a huge fan of The Famous Jett Jackson, and between him, Gia Allemand, and Cory Monteith, it’s been a sad few weeks :(
Alright, I’m out!
Have a great Tuesday, y’all!
