First Day of School




The first day of school has a way of creeping up on me each year, and this year was no exception! However, I will say they were ready. Ready to be with friends, to learn, and be away from each other. For me the first day is yet another reminder that they are getting older and there isn't a darn thing I can do about it.
Kai's headed to second grade

Ethan's off to fifth grade, which is middle school here! What, the what!?!?

Miss Olivia is off to fourth grade!

Elle never misses out on any action, Luke however misses out all the time because he's sleeping, and man does that tick him off!

Good luck this year my darlings! Y'all will do great!

Elle's UP Party

First of all, somehow an entire year has passed since sweet Elle joined our family! 

This year I decided on an "UP" theme and it turned out so cute!









(My Adventure Book's for all the children to take home)

I love how this house turned out. Well worth the time and energy!





I loved her cake, although it start out the way I wanted, I'm super happy with the final product! We ended up just buying a cake from Shop N Save, scrapped off all the excess frosting, used a 1 stencil, and sprinkled up the rest of the cake. LOVE!







The best part of the who party was Elle's sweet smiles while we all sang Happy Birthday To You! She's so precious.

I'm not going to say how many soda's Luke had because well I actually have no idea, but it was too many! HA

I also made a little photo booth in the dinning room and these little gems of Luke and Ethan are my fav!
