I can't believe that Natalie's 5th birthday is right around the corner. It seems like she was just born! Where does the time go. She is super excited, so I made her a balloon countdown. Inside each balloon is a little treat and we pop one each morning. Both Natalie and Julia think this is awesome, as I put candy in the balloons!
Natalie is having an Ariel Mermaid party and I decided to make cupcakes for her. Because she is having 3 parties, family, friends, and preschool, there is an obscene amount. I just got the tails done tonight and I think the look cute!
Natalie and Julia getting a foot rub at Mi Mi's!
Julia "playing" at play group, or organizing, I am not sure where she gets that...
Julia LOVES Minnie Mouse, she calls her Minne Mouse Clubhouse. Anyway, I found this ski mask thing and she just looks adorable in it!
Julia's asthma was acting up and she had to have some breathing treatments. She actually was fond of her pink dinosaur.
We got home from picking up Natalie from preschool and I found all of this on our porch...I guess Jeff and I need to do a better job communicating about our on-line purchases.
Mmmmmm....ice cream.
Hadley, our cousin, and the girls in matching outfits. They are so adorable!!
Poor Julia and her bed head. I am just not sure how this happens every night!!
We were invited to a friends wedding and the girls were so excited! The ceremony was outside at a garden in a small city south of Wichita. It was beautiful!
We got cones full of petals to throw at the bride and groom and poor Julia kept dumping hers and totally stressing out!
Daddy trying to keep Julia busy during the ceremony.
Waiting to throw the petals!
Yea! We get to throw them!
I wanted so bad to get a family shot since we were all dressed up. So, some family took some and the girls took some.
Of course there was a stray cat that needed some loving from my girls!
Uncle Jared with the girls.
Julia was not happy to leave the kitty cat.
Hanging out at the reception.
It is pumpkin patch time!! Yea!! It was a last minute decision to go, but the girls were so excited and we had a great time!!
On the bouncing pillow!
Chunkin Pumpkins!
Riding on the swings! Daddy was the manpower to make them go.
This year they had pony rides and the girls were so excited. The girls got dressed up and they could pick between a princess, cowboy and Indian. Natalie picked the princess and Julia picked the Indian. Not sure she even knew what that was, but it was hilarious. Julia rode for a while and them on of the kids spooked her horse and she was thrown off. Poor kid fell in poop and was crying. I thought she was hurt, but then I understood her saying, "Where my horsie go?" She was mad that they took her horse away. So, they got her a new one and we let her finish the ride. This time I stood beside her.
There was also this guy dressed up like he was riding a rooster and it was too funny. Julia hated it and Natalie loved it.
Holy cow the girls are getting big!
And new this year, ropin! The girls got a kick out of it and were surprised that Pa Pa could actually do it!
Photo opportunity!
This is the first year we let the girls ride the train and they loved it!
Natalie walked up to this and there was a little boy in it and she said to him, "You look like a hamster!!" It was too funny.
Mi Mi, Pa Pa and their girls.
Mommy and her girls.
Natalie looking for her pumpkin! She might have found it...
Julia, Natalie, Emily and Chloe. Julia did not want her photo taken...
There it is!! I found it!!
Daddy found some!
What about this one??
Of course I wanted to get a photo of the girls in the pumpkin patch and this is what I got.
