disco night

So one of our good friends celebrated his birthday dIscO stYlE! We totally got our groove on! I don't remember the last time I put on skates. It's been a LONG time!

It was such a fun night skating and hanging out with great people.

....and while were on the subject. this is ella's new favorite thing to do.

look at that face...she totally knows what she is doing!!

i think it's time for a gate....

i LOVE when my kids play together...with out screaming and yelling. today while i worked out to p90x (i only got about half way through my work out), they made a fort under the computer desk and ate snacks in it.

Happy 5th Birthday Sadie girl!!

Today is Sadies birthday! I told her that she can have whatever she wants for breakfast and she chose mac n cheese...of course, why not? Who wouldn't want mac n cheese for breakfast??! I even told her that I would make her pinkalicious pancakes....that is what we ended up having for lunch.

*they look kinda orange..but I assure you, they were pink!*

We celebrated with her friends on Saturday with a princess/prince party. It was a lot of fun and so cute to see all the little girls dressed up like princesses. (there was one little boy that dressed up like a knight...SO CUTE!!). We decorated cupcakes and played games.

We bought her a new bike and yesterday was such a nice day to go out and ride bikes that we couldn't wait until today to give it to her. So we unveiled it yesterday. It is bigger than her last and a lot heavier, but she did great on it! Parker got her hand me down bike and he did awesome on it! He started cruising around on it with in minutes.

Grandma Ross sent this to Sadie...she loves it!!

rass's in town

Maama and Paapa flew our kids home last week and then they stayed in Nashville for a week. We had a great time with them. We layaxed quite a bit, but we managed to do some fun things in between naps and everything.

They mainly wanted to do stuff that we could do with the kids...so that is what we did! We loved having them here. Sadie and Parker were both so sad when we dropped them off at the airport.

We went to the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga. It was really cool! We had a great time there, but wish that we had more time to go see Rock City and Ruby Falls. Maybe next time. Anyone want to come out and visit and we'll go??

ella was so excited to see all the fish

parker sat down by this penguin, put his arm around him and said "hi"

Everyone always says... enjoy your kids, they grow up way too fast. And it is so true. I can't believe that Sadie is going to be 5 in a couple weeks and Parker is a little man now. He talks so good and SO MUCH! Ella is crawling, pulling herself up on furniture and is into EVERYTHING! She has been trying to crawl up the stairs lately. We are in trouble with this chick! :)

Sadie and Parker stayed in Utah for the week and I really miss them so much, but it has been so nice to spend time with our little Esee. She is so stinkin' cute (I have to admit)! We have been having so much fun with her!!
