Happy St. Patty Day

Kelton is in 4th grade so of course they had to do their big County reports this year. We put quite a bit of time into the report and our diorama and it still wasn't nearly as good as some of the others. lol It was kind of funny because the teacher said I want to see what the kids can do. So I truly let Kelton do his and just helped him where he needed me. Um yeah I can honestly say 90% of the kids in 4th grade had their parents do it for them ;) Kelton was really cute because he had to square dance with a girl. They had been practicing for weeks and Kelton hadn't said a word about it because he gets so embarrassed. He did good though and was a gentlemen.


Baking cookies in our aprons~

First nice day of spring~ It was so nice to go outside and get some fresh air. Faith loved it and was a good baby as always :)

Disney on Ice~
This was Faith's first year to Disney on Ice and she loved it. We take Grace every year and thought why not start Faith out young :) Grace loved it too of course.


Philpot St. Patty Day Party
I had made the girls cute St. Patty outfits but we never made it back home after disney on ice ;( I guess I will have to get them out on the actual day and take some pics~

6 months...do they look alike?

My sis and I have looked like twins from day one. We dont think we look alike but we still to this day get asked if we are twins. Even when I am pregnant and I totally look different. LOL
So Max's family was so curious to see if my girls would be the same as me and my sis. My opinion is not really. LOL Something about them is so similar and I will have those moments where I am like whoa that reminds me of Grace. But their personalities are so diff. I cant find one 6 month pic of Grace without her pulling a funny face or smiling from ear to ear. It is just who she is...then faith is like I have more just straight faced pics. I think they look alot diff but you tell me what you think!

She's not a toddler anymore...SHE IS MY BEAUTIFUL LITTLE GIRL!

I just cant say enough how amazing and beautiful this little girl is inside and out. She fills my entire world with so much joy and love. She is truly my best friend. Max has always said that right out the womb she was a mama's girl and we were connected at the hip. For the longest time it was just me and her 24-7, especially because I stayed home with her just the two of us. She has grown so much this last year, wow! She has matured, gained so much knowledge, says things that seriously have us rolling. I think if you asked people to sum Grace up everyone would say the same thing....she is all personality! She has been our hardest child but Max always says she is also the funniest and the most entertaining ;) We love her so much and hope that she had the best birthday ever.
If anyone knows me they know I go nuts over birthdays. I just think it is their one special time every year and is such an accomplishment that they need to feel so special. So I go all out on the invites, I have Grace help me plan it. This year she was dying to do it at Jungle Jims. I am not much for those kind of parties but we went with it and she had the funnest time of her life. She had like 15 friends there (which almost drove me nutty) and she had her 4 year old birthday outfit on so everyone knew she was a birthday girl! Then of course on Saturday night she went to sleep and we decorated her door and the house and had another couple presents in the living room for her real birthday day. I think one of my favorite moments wasn't all the exciting party stuff or presents but when we sat down just Grace, daddy, and I and had our quiet little tea party with her tea set today. She is so funny and of course daddy gets in trouble for not holding the tea cups right ;) But, every year daddy and I tell her the story of her coming into this world 4 years ago and how happy and excited we were. She always cracks up at the party when daddy tells her he cried like a baby. She thinks that is so funny. I love these special moments we have with her. Especially with lil sis we dont get these moments very often where she has daddy and I all to herself. So we try to make it happen on this special day.
I have so many pictures but my sister in law has them on her camera because I hired her as the photographer..j/k not really but kind of ;) So that I could chase after crazy kids. More pics to come of her special day!
I dont know if any of you have little girls that love these little princess figuriens as much as my little one does but oh my goodness. She got her first set on her 2nd bday and I tell you they are still her number one. She has about 40 of them (no joke) and all their little castles ect. You name it she has it. The funniest part about it is that she can play for hours using her imagination with these things. So they came out with the new wedding sets of them and she was so excited to see I got them and put them on her cake :)

VaLEnTiNEs

We had a great Valentines Day...Grace made all her little friends homemade cards and delivered them. Then we made a sign for daddy to surprise him when he got home. Grace woke up and first thing she said that morning was we need to hurry and get pretty for daddy. So cute! Daddy got Grace another music card. Gracie thinks this is better than any toy in the world...she just opens it and dances away. The card this year was a taylor swift song and she loved it. Then he of course got us girls flowers, chocolates, and stuffed animals.



This hair is so long...it just keeps growing and now I finally want to trim a couple of inches off and Grace fights me on it. It is pretty bad when it gets caught in her underwear, ect. LOL I am like Grace it is too long and to the point where it is inconvinent. Oh well I am not going to fight her on it...she is a little diva I tell you!


Dont mind my little spit up babies throw up on her shirt. I dont think we ever have a shirt without throw up on it :)
LOVES carrots!


Loves her rice cereal ;)
