And This...

is how we do things now! Singing Happy Birthday to Kadence with Ma, Pa, Taylor joining in over the computer! Grateful for technology to help make this move a little bit easier.

Three!

Happy 3rd Birthday to our sweet little sassy pants! It feels like this day has taken an eternity to arrive, only because she has asked everyday for the past 3 months if it is her birthday yet. Kadence LOVES birthdays and asked months ago if she could have a "Pink Tea Party" for her birthday so when we went to UT a couple of weeks ago that is what she got!
Kadence's Ma and Aunties made her Tea Party so special with helping with her wardrobe and making her pink cupcake cake. The party was topped of by being in Midway, one Kadence's favorite places. Kadence's Ma, Aunts, 2 cousins, 2 friends and Mommy and Sister helped her celebrate. One of the highlights of her Tea Party was when she opened her Princess Dress from Ma.
It makes her smile when she wears it and bawl tears when it has to come off!
Kadence is truly our little princess and we love her so much. Some fun things to remember about Kadence when she was three years old is that she is 100% girl! She loves to dress up, wear jewelry, dance and play tea. Kadence is a little bit of a drama queen, which I guess we can blame on me. She has her daddies adventurous spirit though and is always willing to try new things and has the energy to keep up with anything and anyone. Kadence is not much for cuddling and if you ask her to give you a kiss you won't be on her good side for the moment. One thing I love about Kadence is her willingness to give compliments. I often hear her telling someone how much she loves their shirt, or hair, shoes or bracelet. She often comes up to me and tells me how much she loves my outfit and asks me where I got it. It is very sincere and so sweet. Kadence can recite her ABC's and count to 15. We recently visited the preschool she will attend this Fall and she is so excited to start going to school. Kadence reminds us often that she is the Princess, Daddy is the Prince, Mommy is the Queen and Avery is the Master. I don't know where she got that, but it cracks me up. She is a great big sister and has to be the one to greet Avery when she gets up from her naps. She loves to carry her around and help me take care of her. Kadence loves nursery and loves to help with FHE. Kadence says her v's like b's so love is lub and Avery is Abery....it will be a little sad when she grows out of that. Kadence has been really good about our move to Colorado. It was hard for her to leave her Ma and Pa. She asks or talks about them daily and loves every second of visiting. Kadence loves her Aunts and Uncle and Abby and I know all the love she is shown makes her the happy girl she is.

I brought Kadence home from the hospital on Mother's Day 3 years ago today and now I get to celebrate my little Princesses 3rd Birthday on Mother's Day today. I feel blessed that we get to have her birthday celebration around Mother's Day to remind me of the incredible day I became a Mom. Love you to the Moon and Back sweet girl! Happy Birthday!

DC Party

I just thought you guys would enjoy some evidence that Kristen and I did party in DC together yesterday and that we did in fact see Kelly Rippa.

Is it Easter time?

Noelle and I went looking in the clothes that her great cousins are letting her borrow and couldn't pass up the opportunity to try out these Easter Bunny overalls! I think she may just wear them everyday until Easter. The pictures were particularly tricky to take seeing as she spent the entire time eating the Bunny.

Sisters

My sweet girls before church today. I love that even though they are little they already care for and love each other, that sibling bond. It makes me think about my sisters and brother and how much I love and miss each one of them.

Avery and Babies

I tell Scott that Avery will be an acrobat, this girl can balance! Her favorite thing to do lately is find Kadence's "babies" around the house and carry them around, even though they are practically as big as her.

3 Months Old

My sweet Noelle is 3 months old (although some may mistake her for 5 months!). She is working on sitting up, rolling over, laughing, smiling, and she loves any one to just play with her. Here are a few of her most recent looks.

The Latest...

Here is some video of Avery today with her latest walking tricks. She just started doing this yesterday. I always figure once they start doing this it's only a little bit more time until they are walking EVERYWHERE!!
