One Whole Hand

Shiloh turned 5 on Friday. It may be the first time we celebrated on her actual birthday. We had a pizza party at the house with a handful of friends. It was extra special because her cousins from Missouri were in attendance. She was thrilled b/c I ordered my first ever cake from Wal-Mart in the theme of Repunzal. Who is all the rave around here.

Mike captured both of us making a good face. We were in awe of pony-tail holders. Plus it's a good shot of the whole party. We are so thankful for the gift of our eldest daughter she is a real gem to us. Happy Birthday my sweet baby.

A Fine Day or Two.......

My older brother and his family came to see us last week. Aren't they lovely. We had fun playing and playing some more. The weather was beautiful their entire visit, peeking at about 80 each day. It was perfect for playing outside, so we did. We went to the beach one day, the ocean was chilly, but the children didn't seem to mind. We also went on a dolphin cruise one day and we got to see several pods of dolphins very closely. Additionally, we got to see some very young baby dolphins. Soo cute, and a first for me. It was so fun having them! Thanks for coming guys!

Mema

As you know my lovely mother was here the week before last. Since I was unwell for the 1st half of her visit and the kids the second half we didn't really do too many fun things. But since this is Shiloh's birth month Mema took the opportunity to celebrate!
Shiloh loved it! I don't think mom minded much either. She loves her Mema!
Thanks mom for the many loads of laundry and dishes!
