FIVE!

i'm way behind but my big girl is due a birthday post!


she woke up a happy little five year old on july 6th.  she opened her presents from her mommy & daddy….

finally….an elsa dress!

new rod and reel from daddy (which she has already caught a shark on…maybe more on that in another post)

sk (with her wet nails from her new beauty kit) proud of her mulan dress, frozen night gown and sleeping beauty night gown.
ready for church

birthday lunch of choice: welcome to moe's


and later that afternoon we converted our living room to a movie theatre where sk and her friends (& ava & bryce!!) watched frozen, ate pizza & cupcakes & cookies & popcorn & princess gummies, played pin the carrot nose on olaf, and dance & played. 
mimi & papa came to celebrate….papa doesn't like to miss a good princess movie







i would make a horrible photographer…i didn't realize ava and sophia really couldn't be seen.  anyway, the birthday crew.  seems elsa is a strong favorite!  

movie time!  that is a coffee stain on our rug.  and it drives me completely insane.  trey says we'll replace it when our kids are older and quit making messes.  well really??? guess who spilled his coffee there!?!?

dancing during 'let it go' of course


see, there's papa…enthralled.  i wasn't joking, he really loves princess movies.  
sk had the best day from beginning to end…she loved her 5th birthday so much!  the day after her birthday, the girls and i drove down to our family beach house in fernandina for a week and we had so much fun!!  i'll have to do a post on that as well as other summer happenings.  both girls had their milestone appointments and all is well - will document soon.  for now i am busy packing for a little trip that i'm so so so excited about. ;)



sarah katherine lucy - you are FIVE!!  can't believe it.  can't believe in just a few weeks you are heading off to kindergarten….you are excited!! you are a sweet, creative, giving, caring, sensitive, quirky, sometimes moody, smart, and cautious.  but along the cautious lines you have really reached some milestones this spring/summer and made great gains in physical areas:  you are a very good swimmer!  lots of practice this summer has given you confidence and you can now swim all around the pool.  you can swing all by yourself - no help needed at all.  you ride your bike all around the neighborhood & to the pool - with training wheels but still….it was a big deal for you since you were terrified to ride when you first received your big bike for your 4th bday.  

more to come!  we love you SO much, sarah kate!

she's two!

hayes is 2!  her big day was sunday and she enjoyed her birthday so much.

good morning birthday girl
hey lookie there….the 2 year old shared one of her birthday balloons with sissy!  it's a birthday miracle.
my sunglasses loving girl got a new pair for her special day!  she's loving her new baby doll furniture from her mimi & papa.

ready for church….precious birthday girls!
love this girl!  she has a big ole personality!  i can't believe it has been 2 years since we welcomed our little 5 pounder into the world.  sometimes it feels like she has been here as long as sk.  can't imagine life without her!

birthday brunch at red drum
birthday brunch with yaya & dougie

cupcake celebration for both girls while yaya and dougie were here!
clockwise from top left: just born baby hayes,  just getting home baby hayes,  hayes & mommy on her second birthday, & hayes on her first bday.  she's so stinking cute!  

some things hayes says:
"where'd daddy go?" 
"where'd trey go?"
"where'd sissy go?"
"where'd sarah kate go?"  (she says sarah kate perfectly.)
notice a pattern….we LOVE asking where people have gone.  so you can imagine how much fun mommy had this past week while sk was at camp.  i may have been asked 50 million times where sissy was.  dance. dance. dance. dance. dance.  finally i turned it around, "i don't know hayes, where DID sissy go?"  her answer…"art."  
"i do it, mama."
"i need paci, mama."
"i need snack, mama.  need snack."
"i need milk."
"i need pretzels, mama."
"i sorry, mama.  timeout?"
"NO!"
"i need shoes."
"i need crocs, mama."
"i need toms, mama." (we are opinionated about our footwear).
"NO!"
"i get dressed, mama."
"mama watch this!"
"more cheese pease!"
"where lamby?"
"sissy whiney.  sissy timeout?"
"daddy's a stinky boy!"
"trey stinky boy."
"need diaper change, mama!  poo-poo.  hiney." (then she laughs.  awesome.)
"NO!  MINE!" 
"NO SISSY. DAT MINE!!!"
"sissy share."
"scuse you, mama." "scuse you, chair." (scuse you anything that is in her way!  never "excuse me.")
"i need glasses." 
"toe hurt, mama, kiss it!"
"i see dolphin."
"ice ceem!!!"  (she's a big fan).
yesterday hayes said this to me…."where'd beau beau go, mama?  jesus."  i guess she has heard us talk to sissy about it so much.  i told her that beau beau was probably chasing birds in heaven and sarah kate said, "i bet everything is prettier in heaven.  i wish i was with beau beau."  so sweet….she wasn't being morbid or depressed she was just wanting to see the beauty!
"mama hold you!!!" (when she wants me to pick her up.)

favorite books:
the very hungry caterpillar, brown bear brown bear and goodnite moon.


favorite color: BLUE
favorite food: cereal, scrambled eggs, peaches, cheese, yogurt, yogurt covered raisins
favorite snack: pretzels, bunnies and fruit smoothie pouches
favorite activity: playing outside, swimming, boating, building blocks, coloring, jumping up and down in her crib or on the little trampoline


i'll record her stats after her appointment later this month.

mary hazel lucy!  you are TWO!  and you are very smart, very funny, very impatient, very talkative, very active, very sweet, very stubborn, very independent yet very needy (yes…people can be both extremes apparently), very silly, very very coy, very bossy, very cuddly, and very precious.  we love you!

hayes's 2nd birthday party.

hayes will be 2 on the 29th!  can't believe it.  she's my independent "i do it, mama" girl so she seems 2 already and she says "two" when asked how old she is so i guess it was appropriate for us to have her little party a few weeks early! we had her party on sunday the 8th.  sk's party is on her actual birthday (july 6th) so i wanted to spread them out a little.  
so, it has hardly rained at all at our house so far this "summer."  but when did it decide to rain?  right.  hayes's bday party.  thank goodness for a gigantic garage!  it was a light rain without lightning or anything dangerous so most all of the kids played outside regardless.  they thought it was fun and eventually it did stop altogether.  

anyway, hayes was celebrated!  trey put 3 boston butts on the egg the day before the party and cooked them all night so that we could enjoy a delicious bbq dinner.  we had 6 sweet families come over, aunt lauren came, and then my parents and jonathan's family were able to make it, too.  everyone had a blast!  we'll celebrate with hayes's yaya and dougie this coming weekend which is her birthday weekend.


some group pics (hard to get everyone to be still and look!)


birthday girl...


her favorite color is blue=)
 h loved her cupcake!


goofing around with her mimi
giving the piñata a little tap…..needless to say, the birthday girl is not who busted it=)

may have been brycie bear who put the final beat down on the piñata….took a while to get that thing open! each kiddo got a chance to take a hit at it several times!  
i want candy! 
hayes and her friend, laura catherine ("cafrin").  h loves "cafrin."

hayes and her friend, ames.  hayes talks about ames a lot - they were in school together last year.  she says, "amsie nice." ha!
