Wordless Wednesday...oh to have style :)

5th Birthday Pictures :)

She decided at 7:30pm the day before her birthday she wanted a butterfly cake instead of brownies!  So luckily I had a cake mix & frosting to whip this up really quick, definitely not my best work, but she liked it!

Singing to the birthday girl...

Blowing out her #5 birthday candle :)

Happy FIFTH Birthday Baby Girl, we love you so much and can't wait to see where life brings our easy going but knows what she wants girl!

Do you have any funny Anna stories to share?

Sisters

Jody snapped these pictures a few days ago of the girls. Emma wanted to go outside and draw and of course the sisters had to come along too :) This bench is in the front yard, in our flower bed, it has become a favorite seat for the girls!!!

I finally finished editing Anna's performance! We had about 15 minutes of video, but wanted to show just some of the highlights since it was so long!

Joyful Noise Choir

Anna had a performance this past Sunday evening in the Joyful Noise Choir, our church's choir for 4 & 5 year olds :) Here is a picture slideshow of her performance, watch for the video coming soon!!!

Weekend Stay

While we were gone at a Leader's Retreat this weekend our "middles" stayed with Mr. Eric & Mrs. Erin! Friday morning the girls were up and ready, put their packed book bags on their backs and carried them around with them all day! They were super excited to stay with The Millers! Here are some pictures they sent me during their stay!

Thank you so much Eric & Erin for watching the middles for us, they had a blast!!! Even if Anna threw up at McDonald's while Mr. Eric was by himself :)

I Love a TWO for ONE deal

Yes, they are both in one swing, so much easier to push!!!

Schmellow Creamwich

One of my kiddos new favorite things is a marshmellow cream sandwich aka "schmellow creamwich". I don't exactly remember where they got the idea or when we tried it out but they love them, could it be all the sugar?! Jack was fussing the other day about his lunch so much that I eventually gave in and gave him his own schmellow creamwich and to say he enjoyed it was an understatement! Look at that face :)

Sunday School

Our last Sunday at Stony Hill was filled with emotions! Here are all the kiddos with each of their Sunday School classes...

And Jody with a few of our High School & College kids...

*****UPDATE*****

I forgot to add Jack's Sunday School class picture?!?!?

Here are Jack and his Sunday School buddies...

Fun at McDonalds

A benefit since we moved to Georgia is our house is located very close to pretty much everything! We are only 4 miles from the church, about 3 miles from any kind of shopping (Target, Old Navy, Ross, WalMart and a mall) and a ton of restaurants (Chick-Fil-A, Chili's, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Arby's, just to name a few), grocery stores (Kroger, Publix), Starbucks (there are about 4 within a few miles from our house) and bunch of gas stations! Our bank is about a mile from our house and there is a McDonald's across the street from our bank! The kiddos received some giftcards for our trip here and we were able to use them that day to go out to lunch! The kiddos have been eyeing this McDonald's because it had a huge indoor playground that they were dying to check out.

Both girls climbed to the bubble, Anna was scared to stand up, but she easily could have seeing that Lizzy is almost as tall as she is!

Crazy hair Lizzy...

Anna of course had to pose too!

Jack just enjoyed the food, especially the cookies for dessert!

Sad to Happy

Here's sad Anna with her lone shoe (these were her favorites even though they were hand-me-downs from Emma)...

Each of my kiddos (actually Jody & I too) has one pair of "play" tennis shoes and one pair of "good" tennis shoes. On Thanksgiving we went to my Aunt & Uncles house, they have acres upon acres of land so I always pack their "play" shoes. One of my Aunt & Uncles puppies "borrowed" one of Anna's tennis shoes and she was some kind of upset!

My Mom & Dad found these....

for a great deal on Black Friday so here's Happy Anna with her new shoes!!! She kept asking me to take pictures to show everybody :)

Thanks Papa & Wanka for making Anna's day :)

Happy Friday

Anna was so kind....

To paint her sisters hands and toe nails before she painted her own! Lizzy may have helped a little too :)

This is what happened...

When Anna wanted to feed Jack :)

Happy 4th Birthday Anna Virginia :)

Four years ago our second baby girl was born! She is such a funny little girl and brings us so much laughter :) So laid back and has such a kind heart, always willing to give whatever she has.

We love you Anna Virginia!!!
