8 Months

Emma Grace is 8 months today.
Man that really went fast!
She has her 2 bottom teeth.
She is crawling everywhere.
I think I have my house cleaned, and she will prove me wrong finding something else to put in her mouth.
She will pull herself up on the couch and
let go. Then she realizes what she did and make herself fall.

Her smile is infectious.
She makes me so happy!

Bella's 4

My sweet girl turned 4 this month!
(And somehow the day she turned 4 she got a much bigger attitude)
Here are some highlights from her party.

We had a Tangled/Rapunzel theme.
We rented a pavilion at a local fishing pond. I wanted to do it at the pond because we bought floating lanterns and I wanted it to look like in the movie when they were in the boat.
(plus I didn't want the clean up at my house)
But the weather didn't play nice and rained the entire party. So we were unable to light off the lanterns. Maybe one of these days we will get around to lighting them off.
We had a good turn out of people even though it rained.
Some didn't come in fear they would melt I guess :)
We decided to get lazy and buy a cake this year.
It was super cute and yummy!
I felt guilty about not making a cake so I decided to try a Rice Crispy treat tower.
Got the idea from this website here.

I thought it turned out pretty cute...
Until this happened.
I guess Rice Crispy's don't like to be in the rain either.
This is where we would have lit off the lanterns.
The kids still took advantage of the fishing and didn't let a little rain stop them.
And as the guest were leaving, God gave them this sweet send off.

All in all, It was a good party. I stressed to much over it, and it was over to quickly.
I also spent way to much time on party favors and then in the end I forgot to give them to the kids.
HA! Serves me right for stressing over stupid things.

Happy Birthday sweet girl! You are my sunshine and make me so happy everyday!
