Big Girl Bed!

A while back we converted Livi's crib to a toddler bed. She was having a hard time falling asleep at night and she wanted us to sit with her. She did stay in her bed all night once she was asleep. Just getting her to sleep was the problem. Well we really couldn't sit on the toddler bed with her, so we decided to go for a REAL big girl bed. We took her to pick out her new sheets. She picked princesses, of course. Then to pick up her bed. We came home and she helped James take apart her crib, or her "pibby" as she called it.

Once that was all done, in went the big girl bed.

She loved it! Once the sheets were on she kept saying, "It's beautiful! It's my beautiful big girl bed!"

I did have to sit with her, and she did ask for her pibby once, but she went to sleep pretty quickly.

In the morning she woke up and said, " I slept in my beautiful big girl bed all night! I LOVE IT! My daddy made it for me!"

Aww. So far, so good. She stays in it all night, and still loves it. The only downside is that it is REALLY comfortable and I keep falling asleep in it when I lay down with her!

Future Models?

Juli's dance teacher asked me if she could use a picture I took of Juli and her friend for the studio's advertising material. We went to register Juli for her fall dance classes and her teacher gave me one of the postcards. I love it!

Sweet Sara

Since my kids are starting to run from me when they see me with my camera, I decided to practice on Sara. She likes when I take her picture. :-)

Happy 4th Birthday Katie!

We went to Katie's 4th birthday party. She had a fun ice cream party! The kids were having such a good time. I didn't get a chance to take many pictures since I was busy chasing them!

Juli was having so much fun she didn't want to leave. She stayed for a sleepover with Katie and they must have been up partying REALLY late since she was pretty cranky the next day! Juli and Katie are all excited because now they are the same age. LOL

Here are a few of the pictures I did get:

Juli got her face painted by Maddie, along with all the other kids.

Aww, sweet Kyra.

The band getting ready to perform.

Livi & Poppy. She actually smiled and gave him a kiss. I was too slow with the camera though.

Happy Birthday Katie!

Beautiful Girls

Happy Birthday Karen!
