Apple Orchard Party

Look at that sweet little babe holding herself up by the couch. :)

Our adorable little friend Lydia had her 4th birthday party at The Country Apple Orchard on Friday.  It was so fun!



The whole crew!



"Davey can you get that big apple right there for me?" ;) <3

Davey's 4th Birthday!

Last Tuesday, September 20th was Davey's 4th birthday!  Michael took the day off work and we spent the day celebrating.  We ate a yummy brunch at home, opened up presents, played with presents, had cake, went to Chuck E. Cheese, went out for supper to Applebees, and ended the day with our life group from church.  It was a great day and I know my FOUR-year-old had fun and felt loved.

David is a pretty incredible little guy!  I am so thankful I get to be his mama.  He is all boy.  He loves to climb, wrestle, and be loud, but he's also super sweet and thoughtful.  He loves to cuddle and he gives the best hugs and kisses.  David loves Imaginext figures and he is awesome at pretend playing.  I love listening to Clara and him as they play with their little figures and the scenarios and adventures they create and go on.  His other favorites include superheroes, race cars, reading books, playing games, playing outside, swimming, baseball, and collecting bugs.  He loves silly humor and he has the best smile and laugh.  I love when he dances!  He moves his feet and legs super fast and it's really interesting and amazing to watch.  David is loving being a big brother!  He loves holding Emma and he also loves being silly with her and making her smile and giggle.

I am incredibly blessed!  I love my little family of five!


I mean, seriously.  These three have my heart.

Happy 4th birthday Davey!



Davey LOVES books where he has to find specific items hidden within the pictures.  It's such a joy to look at these books with him.

We had been wanting to get him a marble run for a long time and we finally felt like he was old enough.  We all had these excited faces on. ;)


our first run


Chuck E. Cheese is always a blast for Davey and Clara!


Davey requested Applebees for supper. :)


*happy sigh*  What a great day!

Emma is 5 Months + Apple Festival

Grandma Ann and Zachary came over to celebrate Davey's birthday early (September 12th) since she was going to be out of town for his birthday party.  Lucky boy got an extra celebration!


Davey loves all things Imaginext so he was super excited to get this pirate ship from Grandma!  He pretend plays with these little figures for hours.


I got to try on my Grandmother's wedding ring.  So beautiful and precious!

Emma loves bath time!  It is so fun to watch those yummy little legs kicking like crazy and her arms going up and down splashing the water.  What a joy she is!

Clara and Davey learned about God creating the world in seven days.  Clara's numbers are on top and Davey's are on the bottom. :)

Michael played with kiddos while I had my Norwex re-launch parties.  Love little Miriam!

Clara is always setting up entertainment for Emma. ;)

Emma turned 5 months on the 18th!
14 pounds 13.5 ounces
25 1/4 inches





Somebody LOVES her daddy!  He's always making her laugh.  (happy sigh)  Love that my babies have such a good daddy.

Apple Festival 2016


Apple everything please.


Riding out to pick apples.  Clara is not a big fan of the wagon ride!



Reading to my favorite THREE-year-old one last time.  Davey turned four the next day.
