My baby turns 5!

I can't believe that yesterday at 6:19pm my baby Cheyenne turned 5 years old! How is that even possible? Can I be old enough to even have a 5 year old? She had a fun day, we had a happy meal for lunch and yummy egg pancakes for breakfast! that is what she wanted. Her party isn't until next sat (pics to come). And both S and I had to work yesterday, but she was happy and content with her day!

She is such a lovey! We are so thankful to have her in our lives. I have a special bond with her~she is the one who changed my life~she's the one who made me a mother and for that I am so thankful! Chey, thanks for being such a great helper and wonderful big sister~you take so much on, more than a normal 5 year old would. Thanks for being my friend and for keeping me on my toes!

Happy Birthday Big Girl! We are so proud of you and all you have become in these short 5 years! Your sissy and little brother love you so much and look up to you always! Mommy and daddy love you too and are so glad you are ours!! We love u!

Big Shoe, Little Shoe

So I just had to post this picture cause A. I love it and 2. it's fun having the same shoes with one of your kids! We love that daddy gets discounts from converse through his work, so when we were up in Folsom we went to the converse outlet and get Chey some shoes. (she is growing like a weed and the shoes I bought her for school were too small already). Anyway, enjoy the picture.

An unexpected visit!

So we decided to go visit my parents last week. I literally decided Sunday night and we left Tuesday morning! IT was so much fun~Shane had to go to Maine for a conference so we were able to stay a whole week! The girls miss their nanny and papa and their cousins, so it was great to have time to play! Here are a few highlights from our trip.... this is the i~joy-an exercise thingy that works your "core" but the girls love to ride it like a wild horse! It's really funny to watch!
We went to one of our favorite places~APPLE HILL! We love it and it has a ton to do and a ton of great and yummy food to eat!

The girls during a " I love my sister" moment!

The huge and hungry pig we visited at one of the apple orchards.

The view~one of my favorites!

We are home now and we really missed daddy~we were away from each other for 11 days total. We miss nanny and papa, but we will see them at Christmas~it's going to be here in Palm Desert! We can't wait.
