Happy 4th Birthday, Lily!

My Lily-pie turned 4 on July 31st.  My BABY is 4?!?!  I can't stand it.  She woke up to balloons and a few little gifts.  Her favorite gift was a princess coloring book.  For her birthday she wanted to go swimming and she wanted a pink cake with an orange heart on it -- so that's exactly what she got.  Lily is my angel and my little companion.  She gives me unsolicited kisses and hugs all day long and loves to snuggle.  I love this sweet girl.

Happy 9th Birthday, Elle!

This sweet girl turned 9 on July 21st.  She woke up to balloons in her room in her favorite color (a tradition) and a few birthday gifts.  Her main wish was for jewelry.  She's a girly girl through and through.  We opened gifts and then actually had to get on the road.  I drove with my girls to Utah to meet my sisters and their kids at a home my sister rented in Park City.  We did the big birthday dinner and cake with cousins a few days later in UT.  Elle was a great co-pilot on our drive.  I adore this girl.  She is kind and sweet and thoughtful to her core.
