celebrate......all week

We have been partying all week. Actually I should say, me and the kids have been partyin'. Monday started off with Steve and I celebrating our 8 year anniversary. Steve was away doing a rotation so we celebrated on Friday night. Olson's watched our kids and we were able to eat some great food and catch up.
Man, I love that guy!
Tuesday was Karlee's birthday. My little girl turned 3. I can't believe how grown up she is. She is so much fun and we are constantly laughing at her. My little dark haired baby turned into a blondie!

Karlee woke up to a room full of balloons. She ran to my room and yelled "Happy Birthday Mom! There is balloon all over in my room." She ran to tell Cannon and they spend most of the morning jumping around in her room.
Cannon talked her into coming down stairs so she could open up presents and see her birthday cake. Later that night we took cake and ice cream to mutual and all of the girls sang happy birthday to her.
Thursday Steve took boards, so we made homeade peanut butter oreo's for him. He was only able to stay one day because he had to return to rotations.
Saturday we had a water party outside with Karlee's friends. The weather was not great, but we had lots of fun and the kids still played in the water.

Steve couldn't resist the fun.

all of kids enjoyed the ice cream cone cake.......especially Karlee


To end the week, we went to a friends for another birthday party!
what a fun week!

Maddilyn
1 month
10 lbs 8 oz-----75%
height 21 1/2"-----50%
head 13 1/2"------50%
She loves to eat. For the last 2 weeks she has gained a pound a week!
We found out at her appointment that she has reflux, so we are trying her on a couple of different meds. The doctor thinks she'll probably sleep better instead of eating every 2 hours at night. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
Steve likes to buy the kids donuts Saturday night for breakfast on Sunday. They wake up so excited to have pink frosted or sprinkle donuts.

Lets just say the frosting is basically all that gets ate.

{dressin up}

Last week Karlee was invited to a Fancy Nancy birthday party. She was so excited to get dressed up in her fancy clothes and have her hair all curled. I have to admit, it was pretty fun for me also. Girls are so much fun.
I can't believe how grown up she looks. Next thing you know she'll be getting all dressed up for prom. AAAHHHH!
