Surprise

I was thinking during the summer while packing up and getting ready to move how I was going to miss all of PF's friends in the area. Some of them were moving as well but I knew some of them would still be there. PF also missed her friends. So as a surprise for her, I arranged a party with her friends. While she was at the campground with her daddy, I went and picked up her friends and some other things.

We took advantage of the few minutes without rain to run around outside and fly a kite. The colors were so pretty that I had to get a picture.

Her first webkinz. I hope she doesn't think she will be on the computer all the time. But it might be a good incentive for her to get her work done.

What party would be complete without some CFA!

Daddy surprised her with a fairy cake.

She was so happy to see her friends. They didn't want to part and ended up spending the night.

Princess Flower is 9

I can't believe another year has past and now my oldest is 9. The years are going much too fast! She is blooming fast into a beautiful young lady and it is a pleasure to guide and direct her.

Copy Cat

I am sure all of my babies have copied their older sisters but I have noticed it so much more with Dragonfly. She will copy EVERYTHING that ladybug does. Well apparently she copies everyone else too.

Creativity

Dragonfly is much like her sisters in that they all have such creativity. She has decided it is much more fun to jump on the rebounder while sitting in a squishy chair.

Max and Dakota

We have BOYS!

On Wednesday, we went to the farm on a field trip. It was an awesome experience. They had many animals to pet and many little kittens. The girls of coarse fell in love immediately. Hubby and I had just recently talked about pets and that we weren't sure we were ready yet. So when PF insisted she would use all her birthday money to pay for everything the kittens needs....I told her she needed her father's permission. I was pretty confident the answer would be no and I was preparing myself to handle the tears that would soon come. Well much to my surprise Daddy said YES! I called him back to confirm. So.......

We came home with two boy kittens. Yes I know we went from one to two. Well, I think everyone to have a buddy and I know kittens do so much better when they have another little kitten there with them especially from the same litter. Well I couldn't tell Ladybug no when PF got a yes so we came home with two.

We went by the pet store first and purchased all the essentials.

I am not sure there will be two boys that will be loved more than these two. PF named hers Dakota after her favorite cat that Grammy and Papa used to have and Ladybug named hers Max because Max is a boy's name.

PS. If you are worried about the sugar glider.....don't be.....Lexi made she the boys knew that she was boss and they are scared of her.

Mike's Farm

We enjoyed a great Family Style Country dinner tonight at Mike's farm with some friends. The banana pudding was a big hit!

We didn't get to go on the hayride or pick pumpkins because the line was way too long but they did have a spot set up for pictures.

Mumfest

We have so many festivals around where we are living now. I love festivals and the girls have been enjoying them too.


The Mumfest had boats to checkout. Hubby enjoyed this alot.

The hardware store downtown had awesome potted Mums.


This was one of the dresses I got for the girls at the festival.

PF first 5K

I have been wanting to get PF into running for awhile. It was one of my goals to start running races together. I chose the Mumfest 5K for our first. It ended up being a cold morning so PF added another shirt before the start of the race.


She had tears in her eyes as she crossed the finish line. I held her hand until she got close to the finish. Everyone was clapping and cheering her on.

But when they handed her a medal and a pot of Mums she was all smiles.

We are hoping to do the Turkey Trot on base next month.

Backyard Adventure

I sent the girls on a backyard adventure. They came up with their own necessities.....umbrellas, backpacks and summer hats. They found lizards and PF has gotten pretty good at catching them. It was fun watching them parade around the backyard in search of tiny creatures.
