Rocky, Rocky~

Mya has discovered the rocking chair at Meme and Papa's house and she LOVES it!

She wants to rock all day long!

And who can resist her sweet little face... Papa can't!!

Mya and Cayden have been here for the past week and we are having so much fun together!!

Meme took Mya shoe shopping, thinking what girl doesn't love a new pair of shoes~ especially her first pair!!
She loved them in the store.
But when she got home, it was quite a different story. Remember her video of how she "crawls" (scoots on her butt)?

Well, she discovered she couldn't "scoot" so well with those darn cute shoes on!
She tried everything to get them off!
"What the heck?"

So much happier without them on!

Molly joined the fun on Friday and she and Cayden went "fishing" together!

They also got busy with the trains!
We have a few more days together then its back to Mommy and Daddy on Sunday! I am sure Bridget and Cyle got a lot of work done in their basement while the kiddos were here!

Bear Building~ 101

Sarah had her big party on Saturday. We were missing a few people... Papa, Uncle Tegan, Aunt Kelley, Layla, Uncle Cyle and Uncle Danny! We started at Sarah's house then loaded into cars to head to Build A Bear Workshop!

The Birthday Girl listens intently as instructions are given!

Cayden rubs the two hearts together~ one is for his camo bear and one for Sarah's birthday bear!

Cayden is such a good boy at the party full of girls!

Mya enjoys scooting around the store!

She likes these shoes... A LOT!

Sarah loves her new Birthday Bear! She named him Brown Heart! He is stuffed with 9 hearts from the friends she invited to her party!

Molly loves her new friend Cindy, too!

Cayden loves his new camo bear he named "Printy"!

At Build A Bear, walking is too slow, running is dangerous, so the Birthday Girl gets to decide how to get to each station! Some hopping, and skipping was going on!

Each friend went home with a new bear, in a new outfit! What fun! The car ride home was filled with little girls, and one boy, chatting away about their new bears!

Sarah opened presents at home and even her friends know she is just "mad" about the peace sign right now!

A hug for her little sister, Molly, who got her "just what she always wanted"... more Littlest Pet Shop stuff!

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday Sweet Sarah, Happy Birthday to YOU!
Make a wish...
Got them!
Yea!! Cake and ice cream time!
The girls all had a sleep over and had an absolute blast... so I hear!

Sarah Rose... you just make me smile! I can hardly believe you are 6 years old already! I love you so much! You Shine!

Happy Birthday Sarah Rose!

Last night Sarah had a sleepover with Meme! She went to bed a 5 year old....

But woke up ready to be 6!
She loves her new Leap Pad Meme and Papa got her~
She loves the art studio game~

Party this afternoon!

My Giraffe Gem~

Will love this new addition to her collection! 2 days and counting!

Missing them...

"I am not L i i n g!"

Please don't, anyone, ever, tell Sarah that wearing dresses means you are "girly, prissy, ladylike or a princess"~

She firmly believes otherwise! The signs on her bedroom door will tell you just what she thinks about herself and about the fact that she loves to wear dresses everyday!
And there you have it!

She is the SWEETEST contradiction I have ever seen!

How old would you be...

If you didn't know how old you were?~Satchel Paige

Sarah will be 6 years old very, very soon.

The only thing worth stealing is a kiss from a sleeping child~Joe Houldsworth

There are no seven wonders in the eyes of a child.

There are seven million.~Walt Streightiff

If you haven't time to respond to a tug at your pants leg, your schedule is too crowded.~ Robert Braul

We try to teach our children all about life,

Our children teach us what life is all about. ~ Angela Schwindt

Who said this....

If I would have known having grandkids would be this much fun...

I would of had them first!!!
Well, I am saying it now.

I cannot wrap my mind around the fact that Sarah Rose, my very first gem, is going to be 6 years old on September 17th!
