Happy Birthday Sweet Elizabeth Grace

Happy Birthday Sweet Elizabeth Grace!!!

I cannot believe our baby Elizabeth has already been with us for two whole years. I've heard people say kids grow up in a blink, and I have truly experienced that feeling with Elizabeth. I feel like she was just born yesterday, and now here she stands before us, a little person with her very own unique and wonderful personality.

Elizabeth, we love your nose-crikled-eyes-sparkling smile. We love your head wiggles and shoulder shimmies. We love your long stories, even if we're only just beginning to understand bits of them. We love watching you keep up with your sisters, running with them, playing with them, reading with them, drawing with them. You make our hearts sing praises, and there have been so many moments in the last two years when I have declared you my saving Grace. 

You've completed our family, and we truly cherish you.

You're Two!!

My Birthday and Mother's Day

My mom came over for a visit with the girls on my birthday, and I got to go get a massage!Happy Birthday to me!

Then after a great dinner from Chris, he presented me with my birthday cake...a Dairy Queen ice cream cake, my favorite!

A great birthday with my Loves

On Mother's Day, we got to spend some time over at my mom's house with Dylan, Britney, Cal and Annie, and my grandma. Special times and great memories.

Two Turn Three

The realization that our babies have turned three has taken a while to sink in. But here they are, our two three year olds.

On the eve of their third birthday, I took some pictures of my little sleeping angels while they were still two....

The morning of their birthday, the girls came downstairs to decorations and birthday morning presents.

After a breakfast of french toast and a little playtime while Elizabeth napped, it was off to the Orchards for a trip to the beauty salon and Monkey Bizness.

Here are the proud big sisters posing with their brand new three year old haircuts...

Monkey Bizness is probably one of the girls' favorite places on earth right now. It's a place where all three of them can just let loose and focus on nothing but FUN.

There is a huge inflatable slide that is probably the favorite thing to do in this favorite place. The ladder up to the top is tricky and slippy, but Emily and Addie have both mastered it, and they love to climb up and slide down over and over again.

It's a tricky climb to the top

But this is the excitement that comes at the top

ZOOM! (Blue Airheads really leave their mark)

Down to the bottom and ready to head back up!

Elizabeth had a blast in the crawlers' section

 For dinner that night, we headed to Red Robbin with Dad. Emily and Addie were super excited to CELEBRATE!

Chocolate milk with dinner and ice cream sundaes for dessert...a whole lotta YUM

Elizabeth flirted with everyone at the tables around us and had a great time

 When we got home it was time for presents!

Tutus and T-Ball

Happy Birthday to my two favorite three year olds in the entire world!
