Happy 5th Boo

March 27, 2010-Sarah is 5

My one and only princess is 5. I am just in shock. She is growing up so beautifully and way too fast. She is so excited to be old enough to go to school with the boys. Anyone who knows our delightful little Sarah knows that she is one in a million. She is so funny-the loudest little girl we've ever heard-willing to please-finally getting out of her disobedient stage and is actually doing wonderful at hopping to the task-loves to have friends over to play with -Loves Her

Brothers So Much.....One day we saw a family with 4 little girls and I asked her if she wanted a sister to which she replied-yeah, but I still want to keep my boys-Is our little ray of sunshine and adds that little something extra to our family that we just couldnt live without.

She had such a wonderful birthday and got a bunch of new Little Pet Shop Animals. She also got a new Leapster Game-princess and the frog. She has never been much of one to play with Barbies or dolls, but loves any kind of animal or learnig games. She was so sad when I explained to her that she couldn't have a friend party every year, but one of her friends has the same birthday so she got to go be with all of them that morning. When she got home she had one of her friends come play as well. She picked out a chocolate cake from the store and it was delicious. Debbie and Lance happened to stop by and so we were glad they could join us for the party as well.

We sure love our little girl-I hope she never changes. Here's to our Sarah

Oh yeah-I forgot to post the funniest thing.......

Right before we went to bed on Seths birthday I was talking to him about the day he was born and he said......"Mom if they had to do a C-section on Star Wars would they use a knife or a light saber?"

Seth is 10......

I can't believe my little Sefee has hit the double digits. I am also baffled that I have been a mother for 10 yrs. It was the most wonderful and scary moment in my life. I had an unplanned c section and was one of these first time mom's who had the whole delivery planned out in my head. A c-sec was not in the plans and Seth has continued to surprise us at every turn.

He is a brilliant little guy and has an extraordinary memory. He has a love for learning all about the world around him. For a long time he would only check out fact books in the library ie...Volcanoes, Sharks, Tornadoes,Insects, Polar Bears, and the Guinness book of world records. He passed his love for facts on to his little brother as well. I finally talked them into checking out a fiction book here and there just so they would learn to read stories and recently they love the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series.

Seths teachers always say how kind he treats his fellow classmates and that he is well liked by all. He has such a wonderful heart and plays so well with his little sister Sarah. As many of you know he also has a slight addiction to his video games. He loves his DSI and got a new Pokemon game for his birthday. I think he tries to beat the game before his friends do.

It was kind of sad to me this year because Seth has always loved to plan his birthday parties and have a theme and homemade cake. This year he just wanted to celebrate with us-no cake-wing shack for dinner-cheesecake for desert-and go see the new movie Diary of a Wimpy Kid with a couple of friends. This was the first year I did not go all out for him and it made me realize how much is is growing and changing. In fact, Ryan said as we were munching on wings " this is food I would choose for my birthday". I guess I have to accept the fact he is growing up, but he will always be my little Wunk. Happy 10th big guy!! We all love you so much!

The Zoo in the Spring..........

Is Awesome, Uncrowded, Cool, and filled with Active Animals. I don't know that we'll ever go in the summer months again. Although the orangutans were a little too active which brought up a discussion about the creation of life. It was a wonderful day and I love my family!!
