More Willow...

I know I've posted most of these pictures before, I just wanted to do it again all next to each other so I could see them.

Wrapped in a zebra bathrobe...

Whenever Grace shows any type of affection- I take advantage of it because I never know when she will shower me with hugs & kisses again. It could be in the next 5 minutes, week, or following month- I never know. She's a little unpredictable! So, one of my favorite things is when she wakes up, she stumbles down the hall and over to the compture where I usually am, crawls on my lap and curls into a little ball. We wrap up in my bathrobe and have a few minutes to talk just her and I. I love it... even if it's 6:30 AM!
***Yeah, the flash was covered, so this is what we got! Probably better this way, who takes pictures of themselves at 6:30 in the morning anyway???

Willow...

Here's just a random one of Willow yesterday morning.

Silly Grace...

This was Grace after the party! Sugar+ tape= this!

Daisy's party...

*** Jen, I feel TERRIBLE that the girls were not invited this year to Daisy's party. She invited 3 girls from school and I didn't have enough for your girls. I'm so sorry! Just know I feel really bad about it!!

Daisy's party went really well. I didn't get pictures of the table, decorations or food- so just imagine Hello Kitty everywhere and a lot of pink! She was spoiled, loved the attention & had a great time!

A Successful party...

Happy 6th B-day Daisy Mae...

Oh, my sweet Daisy, she almost makes my heart melt...
6 years ago I was planning my Costco trip with Andrea when I started having contractions. I REALLY love Costco & I really wanted to go, so I waited awhile to see if they would stop. After a hour of painful & VERY regular contractions, I called Andrea and told her I would have to skip our shopping trip and she should meet me at the hospital instead! We went in and spent the next 12 hours in labor. Daisy was by far my most painful birth experience, but by 2:00 AM she was with finally with us. Christy & Andrea kept their composure as she came out with the cord wrapped around her neck and not making a sound. It wasn't until later that they told me how scary that moment was. She was an amazing baby, terrific toddler and now the sweetest 6 year old ever.
She is growing into the sweetest little lady in the world. We called her "Tender Heart Bear" growing up because she was so sensetive. She still is to this day and all it takes is a stern look to correct her. She is an amazing big sister, she is always the first to come when I call or ask for help picking up. She adores school and is doing wonderful! She's beginning to read and I almost cried the other night when she read an entire book by herself! She is entering the: silly, talk- a- lot, loosing teeth stage and it's great. She LOVES to draw and color and is always making the prettiest pictures. She loves for me to sing "Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer" every night before bed which I think is crazy, but I do it anyway. Besides being a beautiful girl, she is so kind to everyone. She has a ton of friends at school, all the boys love to chase & kiss her. Those brown eyes and little smile will melt your heart every time. Happy 6th B-day sweet girl!!!

Daisy over the years...
