Stella is 5

Our girl is 5!  Stella is funny, a good helper, smart, independent, a great accessorizer....and a little bossy.  She still cracks us up and amazes up daily with what she talks about, her imagination and how smart she is.  She has entered the silly stage of childhood and no longer wants to dress "toddlery" but rather like a big girl, sigh.  We love you Stella, you make life more interesting and fun for everyone!
Stella had her party at her dance studio this year, and we had a pink and gold theme.  The girls did fun dances, learned a dance to "For the First Time in Forever" (or as Stella calls is the coronation day song from Frozen) which they performed for the parents at the end of the party.  They made ribbon wands, ate cake, decorated a t-shirt for Stella and of course had presents!  After having an all boys party for Jack, and now an all girls party, I have to laugh at how different boys and girls really are, it's no wonder men and women can have so much trouble communicating, ha!

Reed was a champ as usual hanging out during the party....and speaking of this little man, I am long overdue for a Reed update, so look for that coming soon!

 This picture pretty much sums up Stella

Jack Turns 7

I am so proud of this handsome seven year old boy!  Jack graduated from Kindergarten and turned 7 last week.  He had a great year and is well on his way with reading and has a great group of buddies.  He loves going to school and already is asking me "what can I do" this first week of summer break.  Jack is caring, goofy, fun and a great big brother.  He's more obsessed with Legos than ever and has started to go outside to shoot hoops on his own.  We love you Jack Jack!

After attending a birthday party earlier this year at a bowling alley and getting the highest score of all the kids, he decided a bowling birthday party was the way to go this year.
