3, Tres, Three, III!

Happy Birthday Monkey!



Likes: Being called Princess (and this was not encouraged by your parents, rather it is something you demand you be called); coloring with just one color....and it's usually red; snacks, at all hours of the day including sneaking them into to bed at night and grabbing one when you wake up; swinging, watching movies, playing on the computer....for hours on end all by yourself; Dora; riding horses and the four wheeler at Papa and Nana's; playing dress up; dancing; coming up with excuses not to go to bed (like the night you told me your goldfish were splashing in the tank and keeping you up); wearing only dresses; hanging out with the cheerleaders - specifically Stevie Musil (who you named your goldfish after). We cannot keep you from standing with her on the sidelines at the games and copying their every move.


Dislikes: Calling you something other than Princess; anything that is not your idea; someone helping you; at times, Emma; going to bed;


What we love most about our three year old: You are always the first one to tell us "I love you" and do it at the most random times, which is usually when we need to hear it most. Your neverending facial expressions. You are our "Sara of a million faces". Your silly spirit and ability to make us laugh at the drop of a hat. Your ability to do what you love for hours on end....watching movies, swinging, etc. It shows your passion for what you love, but also gives us a break from your never ending energy. Always going to bed or leaving for daycare by asking for a "huggie and kissy". We love you Sar-Bear! Happy Birthday!

The best gift of the day...



According to Emma, and of course me, this was her birthday present from Selah. It appeared for just a few minutes on her birthday, and it just happened to be at a time when we were outside or we would have totally missed it. As soon as I took the photo it faded away....

Cinco, 5, Five, V!



Happy Birthday my girl!

Likes: Mama & Dada; cuddling; Barbies; Hannah Montana; coloring with Dad; her doll..."Excellent" (amazing name she came up with - I know); The Food Network (specifically Guy Fieri and Ace of Cakes...she actually told me as I was making her birthday cake, "Mom, make it bigger, make it badder, make it awesome"); dancing; girls nights (which end in her sharing my bed with me) and slumber parties at Kathy's; cooking with mom; flip flops.



Dislikes: Being left alone; baggy clothes; raisins in cookies (yuck!); cold baths; going to bed.

What we love most about our five year old:
Your tender heart and willingness to help others (even your little sister) and make them feel special. Your beauty - on the outside and the inside, and the fact that you also know you are beautiful. Your attention to detail, which means that it may take you three times as long to finish projects as others, but you are always proud of the result. Your willingness to give hugs and kisses just as much as mom and dad want to receive them.

We love you Miss E! Happy Birthday!
