Oh Birthday week, how you come at just the right time of the year... The new year in the beginning is always a little rough for us. This is when things decide to break down, the anticipated medical bill comes etc. Luckily, my kids are too cute and loveable making all said things bearable.
Lollie is now 5!!!!!!!! She starts Kindergarten in the fall and Naterb and I are sure going to miss her. She is very excited for aunt Mindy's wedding. She can't wait to wear her pretty dress and be apart of the ceremony. A couple of days ago she and I watched a "Say Yes to the Dress" marathon. The next day she said "What will people think about my dress? Will it be ready in time?" I told her that her dress will be altered in time and not to worry about what people think. I think she took the show a little too seriously. Lollie also has this little competition with a boy in our ward. On Sundays her and Will compete for the same chair. A couple of Sunday's ago Lollie got to Primary first procuring the coveted chair. Sadly I had to remind her that she had to sit in the front for her talk. She saw William run in and said "Darn now William has my chair!" This last Sunday's race was once again won by William. Lollie walked up to him and said, "you are sitting in my chair!" William smiled and said "I got here faster than you!" I asked Lollie if she trys to take Millies chair. She said no. I asked if she takes Kadens chair. She said no. I asked if they took each others chairs in class and she said yes. I asked her why and she said "because it's William mom!"
She loved having Nana and Opa to play with!
I ended up not making her cake after two failed attempts. If you live in high altitude places, do not buy Duncan Hines Yellow Golden cake!
This year it was all about ponies and unicorns. She also has a love for horses lately.
One last story about this silly girl. The other day we went to a friends house. We heard a loud thud from the other room and waited to hear the cry. Of course the cry came from Lollie. She had fallen off her friends bunk bed. First I asked her how did it happen? She said that she was too close and fell off. I then asked her if she was okay? She told me that her head hurt, but that she still wanted to play. I told her it was okay, but to be careful next time. She turned to me and said "Yeah, well that is one fast of getting off the bed." Stephanie and I started laughing. I asked her later why she said that and she told me laders slows you down.
My Mr. Riley turned 7! I can't believe next year he will be 8. Time is starting to fly by too fast. Riley is very kind hearted. Sometimes his kind heartedness can be challenging. He wants to give money to every foundation at school and has this need to feed all of the kids in our neighborhood. So far he is a good student at school and loves being out doors. He asked Brandon if he had two recesses as a kid. When Brandon said no (I'm sure he doesn't remember) Riley said "well at Soaring Hawk we have two!" He really loves it when his teacher plays music and they do these silly dance moves from Just Dance.
This year Riley wanted a "Dark Vader" cake (he did not know that his real name is darth vader.) I really tried to be enthusiastic about it. I even tried to find a way to make the cake cool and add more color than black and white. As we rummaged through the toy store I found these minions! I showed them to Riley and he changed his mind. Our Birthday theme went from dark to goofy!
He got a Key Board for his Birthday! I am now on the hunt for a piano teacher...
The week was filled with fun at the park, Chuckee Cheese, building a toy town, and just hanging out!
Even though it was not this little persons week, I had to add a couple of photo's.
