Little Bo Peep



Since the boys had a Mother Goose party back in the spring at preschool, Graycen has been enamored with Little Bo Peep. She told me that this year she wanted a pink, Little Bo Peep party for her birthday!! It seemed like an odd request to me, but it turned out to be a really fun and cute party theme. Here are some pictures from Graycen's third birthday party - I can't believe it's been three years, already. We are so thankful for this little sweet pea and can't imagine our family without her spunky little spirit. She loves playing with her big brothers and does a pretty good job of keeping up with them. She has moved out of her crib (she really did love sleeping in that thing) and is now in her big girl bed. Happy Birthday, sweet girl!!

Mimi made this quilt for Graycen's big girl bed...


All of the kiddos went on a search for Bo Peep's missing sheep.....

A BIG thank you to my talented mother-in-law and sister-in-law for making the awesome birthday cake and sheep cupcakes (although I did take part in sticking little marshmallows all over the cupcakes :), and to my mom for staying up late with me glueing cottonballs on about 75 little lost sheep..........

Hip, Hip Hooray for Holiday World!!

Well, we are a little late in posting these, but what's new? Over Memorial Day weekend, we took the kiddos to Holiday World (amusement and water park) in Indiana, and had one of our best getaways. My mom came along and we had so much fun. The park is geared toward small kids and even Graycen was tall enough for more rides than she could ride in a 12-hour period. The park has free drinks all day long and a water park with cool rides for adults and kids. We were one of the last 5 vehicles leaving at closing...... here are a few pics from the day.
