School Days

So I am incredibly late on posting these but they are too funny and cute not to share. These are the pics I took of the first day of school for the boys this year. What handsome lads we have. Caleb is loving the 3rd grade and the twins can not get enough of preschool. They go 3 times a week and just eat it up. 

With school in session and the new house our schedules are hectic to say the least. MWF Mike drops off C at his school while I take the little's to theirs and Faith to the sitter. Then Mike take a lunch to pick up the little's and get them to the sitter's house. A few hours later, I am off work and pic up the little's and Faith from the sitter, then head over to pick up C from his school. Whew, that was exhausting just writing it.  It's not the ideal situation, but it is what it is right now and we are accommodating it. So glad they are loving it. It makes it a little less painful to see their faces and hear their stories when they are done each day.

Ladybug Party

For Faith's party we stuck with the ladybug theme. Mike made these cute invites to send out (I blurred out the address for obvious reasons).
And I decorated it up sticking with the red/black/white and polka dot lady bug theme.

We even stuck with the red/black and white theme for the snacks and had a little candy bar. Red and black jelly beans, red and black licorice, ladybug wrapped mints and chocolate covered strawberries.

And her cake was to die for. Mike had a co-worker make it for us and she did such a great job and yes, it tasted as good as it looks......even better.

We sang her Happy Birthday which she was none too impressed with.

And she kept checking to make sure it was ok to eat her little "1" shaped smash cake.

Once she was sure it was ok, she went to town on it and even tried to share with Dad.

When she realized everyone had been watching her for the last several minutes, she got shy and put her head down.

But still kept nibbling.

And this is what was left of the cake when she was done.

Then it was time to open presents.

And play, play, play!

She got loads of cute clothes, jammies, some shoes, a jewelry box, a play vanity and her first little doll house by Little People's. She loved it all. And once the party started to die down, so did she.

It was a super great party and a packed house. Pretty much everyone we invited was able to come. Thanks again to everyone.

Thanks also to those far away that couldn't make it and have been sending her gifts in the mail. We love that they party keeps coming and we'll get to go pick her out some more goodies with the cash that has arrived. :)

1 Year Photo Shoot

Faith is 1 !!!! I can't believe how quickly this last year has been. It has been jammed packed to say the least. I did a little photo shoot myself in the back yard in her Bday outfit. They turned out great!! Thanks to Mike and the boys for helping me get smiles out of her. Enjoy the pics.

New Digs!

We've officially been in the new house for 2 weeks today! I can't believe it's gone by so fast already and we still have boxes to unpack. We still keep commenting that it doesn't feel like "home" yet and reality hasn't set in. Hoping to hang some family pictures and unpack more boxes this weekend to try and help that along.

Long story short, we are now on our 3rd potential buyer on the old house and should be closing the beginning of Oct if all goes right. Cross your fingers it doesn't fall through again.
