Happy 6th birthday Katelyn! Katelyn begins planning her party several months in advance and the theme changed several times. I was happy that we finally settled on Rapunzel (because it is so easy to find Rapunzel stuff these days). She had an "agenda" for the party that consisted of :
1. Welcome (she informed me that this is when everyone arrives and we "welcome" them)... oh
2. pin the frying pan on Flynn Rider
3. tug of war with Rapunzel's hair
4. pinata (made by Katelyn)
5. cake
6. presents
7. play with presents

I tried to change the order during the party and she WOULD NOT HAVE IT! When I decided to stick to the agenda everything flowed smoothly.

I have to do my annual post about Mother's day. I have enjoyed Mother's day so much these last few years because I have such a sweet and thoughtful daughter. This year she wanted to make me a meal, but the day was a little crazy and it wasn't working out. At about 6pm she took matters into her own hands and made something that she could do by herself. If you can't tell what this culinary masterpiece is, it is a PB&J cut into the shape of I love you. Oh my goodness... it was the best sandwich I've ever had!

Katelyn made this book at school. My favorite part is the picture of me. I am in a red dress lifting red weights... I don't ever recall doing this, but I'm sure that would be quite a sight. She also abbreviated the picture of the house: FP on E which stands for "favorite place on earth." I am so happy that she knows that HOME really is my favorite place on earth.

Ethan... a little tired

Lincoln is 4 weeks old today! He is growing so well and is a happy little soul (most of the time). We are enjoying him! I know everyone says that it goes by so fast...

My very sweet friend, Jamie, took some newborn photos of Lincoln when he was just 4 days old. She did an amazing job! I am so thankful to have some pictures of our sweet boy when he is so fresh and new. I am in love!
