Rachel celebrated her 5th birthday yesterday and again today! She was so cute yesterday morning. She came down in the morning and showed us how her jammies were too small because she grew so much - - now that she's 5! Of course the jammies she was wearing were probably a size 3T and have been too small for about a year now!! She spent the day with her sisters and Gee Gee, then went to Jessica's Tee Ball practice where she got to play kickball - kids vs parents. It was quite fun! Her choice for her birthday dinner was fried chicken. We topped off the night with a cookie dough ice cream cake from Cold Stone Creamery. Mmmm, I love birthdays!!
The birthday celebration didn't stop there. The party was held today at Maize Quest. The kids had fun despite all the rain. They were drenched with sweat from head to toe!
Rachel received a bunch of nice gifts. . . mostly Littlest Pet Shop items! She also got pink legos, a High School Musical barbie, a Rescue Pet, and Daddy's favorite . . . a slip n slide! Just hope the rain stops soon, so they can try it out.
Marlee is getting big - she'll be 5 months old next week. She's such a good girl still. She likes to laugh and smile at everyone. She's also starting to hold herself in a sitting posting. She still needs some help, but she's almost strong enough to hold herself. Last week, we started giving her a few teaspoons of rice cereal. Jess and Rachel love to feed her. Marlee seems to enjoy it too! She just loves her big sisters!
Jessica is enjoying her summer vacation. She's keeping busy playing with the neighbors, reading and fighting with her sister and parents! Yes, she has developed quite the bad attitude. We're not sure why or where this attitude came from but we're doing our best to nip it early! I'll be sure to let you know how that goes!!
That's about all for now!
