S.R. is 5 today

Today is a special sort of day. It's the day we welcomed the sweetest little girl you'll ever meet into our hearts.

Today, she is 5. 

It's hard to believe that 5 years ago she looked like this...and please tell me, how did the time fly by so quickly?

I can't believe how much she has changed in just a few short years. 

Here she is at 1... 

 at 2....

 at 3...

 at 4...

 and now at 5.

This child always has a smile on her face and a song on her heart.

 I love that every where her little feet take her, they're skipping all the way, with that wild mess of curls swishing back and forth. 

She has a wit that takes everyone by surprise, and makes us all laugh.

She lights up a room where ever she goes, and has the kindest, sweetest soul.

But along with that sweetness comes a lot of spunk. I love her just the way she is!

I'm so glad that God chose her to complete our little family.

Happy Birthday my sweet angel!

The Hubs Birthday

I have a few minutes to kill right now. I have to be at a baby shower in about 30 minutes but I am waiting on some blondies to bake...so I thought I would share the hubs little birthday celebration we had for him on Thursday. He turned 37 this year. He feels so old:o) I thought it would cheer him up to have a little family party with all of his favorite things.

The kids colored this sign for him and I put it on the front door to greet him when he got home.

Here was the goody table. We didn't actually have super that night:o)

Just junk

He really likes spicy things...I added a few snacks that the kids could tolerate:o)

I made the party hats at the last minute. I have a Superman cricut cartridge and it had a party hat design. Super quick. I just drew 37's on all of them. 

 Here they are eating bacon...who doesn't love bacon??

 I love this shot!

 This was his "cake." Since I knew we were going to be loaded down on cake with E's party, I thought I would get a little creative with this one. Hubs LOVES Krispy Kreme donuts. I bought a dozen of the chocolate glazed...only 10 made it home;o) I stacked them in a pyramid shape. I then added scoops of Moose Tracks ice cream in the center of each donut and then poured magic shell on top of that....3 of his most favorite things to eat:o) 

Here he his blowing out 1 candle...I thought I would be sweet and not torture him with an extra 36 candles:o)

 The donut cake seemed to be a hit with everyone!

 S.R. is known for her crazy looks....

 every once and a while we get some cheese:o)

 Love these sweet faces!

I'd say this isn't such a bad way to turn 37, do you?
