Oh My Goodness! I have a 5 year old!!

Where did the time go?? My baby is five years old??!!! Can that even qualify as a toddler? People aren't kidding when they say that time flies by quickly!











Little Miss Lu Lu had a great birthday again this year! She decided she wanted to go to Applebees for her dinner and Grandma and Poppy joined us there. Afterwards we sat out at the car and opened presents, sang Happy Birthday and ate the cupcakes that Lexi helped make. Quite entertaining doing this in the restaurant parking lot... but everyone really had fun! And to top it off.. Lexi got her Zhu Zhu pets for her birthday!! For anyone who doesn't know - these are little toy hamsters that are the hottest toy this year and are next to impossible to find - Todd and I had actually waited in line at Toys R Us that weekend and actually got the ones for her birthday!



Then for her friends party she had a party at a local laser place in the inflatibles area so the kids could jump around and slide. They had an absolute blast!! And of course she ended up with even more fun toys to play with from all of her friends!

She's a big girl now!

Well, my baby turned 3 years old on Friday! She is now much more of a little girl than a baby! It is so sad to see her no longer a baby but is amazing seeing her grow into this little person she is becoming. She has such an AMAZING personality and is so fun to be around (most of the time... she is a three year old you know!) She always makes us smile and also totally makes us crack up most of the time! She has gotten her big brothers flair for being a complete clown. She is so caring - often thinking of her brother and friends before herself and is such a mommy's girl!!!

Happy Birthday my little precious angel! You are so very loved!

37 years

Happy Birthday to me! Okay so it is my birthday and even though my dad says I can cut 10 years off my age I will say that I am 37 years old today. And I look at my hubby, my kids, my family and my friends and I would like to say that I am very happy with where I am in these 37 years of life! Thanks to you all for all your love and support! I love you! Still doesn't mean that anyone can call me old okay!!!!

Now onto the reason why I have not written in a while.... We have been to Disney World!!!! We just got back last night and had a glorious time! This was Logan's 2nd trip and Lexi's 1st time! So it was so much fun to see their faces and their wonder at all that was around. It was so sweet cause tonight I was helping Logan work on a journal that he needed to have for school since he missed a week and I was trying to give him some prompts and I asked him 'What he learned there". And his response to me was 'that dreams come true'!! I think I could have cried!!! This was based off of the stage show that we saw in front of the castle one day but it was oh so true!!!!! Disney is definately the most magical place on earth!!

I will have to give you more info in the days to come but I just wanted to drop a note to say we were back and show a couple pictures.

Have a magical day and I will post more later!

And to Shaye: (sung) It's my birthday where's my present... It's my birthday where's my present. To everyone else - it is an old joke we had in high school - not me being greedy! I promise! ;)
