Miley is 5!!!

Miley, you are 5!! Can you believe it!?


What a fun little ball of energy you are! You brighten our life with your cheeky smile, and spunky spirit! It's hard to believe you are already a "whole hand"!! You are a lover of purple, sparkles, shoes, bugs, lizards, leaves, the outdoors, barbie, gum and mrs. Lori. You want to be a mermaid when you grow up and you copy Ella Kate's every move. She and Sarah Beth are your best friends. You love to sing and dance and are always putting on a show.. You play amazingly well by yourself and would dig in the dirt or swing in the tree swing ALL day long, if I let you:) you are honest and helpful, sassy and sweet, fiery and fun!! We thank God for your precious life and stand amazed at how He created you to be YOU! Miley, you are special and God is going to use you in HUGE ways. Don't ever change.. We love you all of the way to disney world with 30 hundred cupcakes! (Kiss kiss!) <--- that's her favorite thing to say!


She had preschool on her bday and mrs Lori made her purple cupcakes and bought her this special bday pin. When I picked her up from school, she told me that she had been using this pin all day to out holes in her ears like Ella Kate, but it wasn't working! (Praise The Lord! We didn't need a tetanus shot for her bday!) she had a party at the park with her closest buddies and ate pizza and princess cupcakes!

It's a good thing that this hot mess is cute, because she sure enough keeps me on my toes! She is busy, busy! I can't even count the number of times that she has colored on surfaces in our house that are NOT for coloring..


She also has a certain language that I adore, and know that I will miss one day. Here are a few of her 'sayings':
Hum on: come on
Stick it: lip stick
Hang-uh-burr: hamburger
Arse cream: ice cream
Sock-uh-ball: Popsicle
No yike dat: I don't like that
Yeg: leg
Chee-nell: ponytail
Shake a booty: sleeping beauty
Boog bike: bug bite





Her favorite game to play in the car with 'lee-why' is 'hold a hand!'


She is terrified of lawn mowers and loud trucks outside. She gets real skittish. This particular night, she was afraid of the pressure washer that Bill was using and had to come inside. It didn't keep her from calling for her siblings out the window, though:)





'Eddie' is her favorite friend. 'Clawa' is a close second:)


She LOVES her sisters. Ella Kate is such a big helper:)

How in the world do I have a 7 year old? Time flies by when you are having fun!


Ella Kate had a great day! She has been dying to get her ears pierced and that's exactly what we did!


She never shed a tear.. I only have a video to prove it:) after we left the mall with new earrings and clothes (thanks Mimi and aunt Jenna!), we headed to eat Mexican per the request of the birthday girl.








After her cherry coke and very own bean dip, we headed to Starbucks to get a frappuccino and cake pop:)


Then we had to drop by and let Poppa see her new earrings!


She is getting so big and growing so fast! Ella Kate, you are such a joy! I am so thankful that You made me a momma. God is so good to have blessed me and daddy with your precious life, first! You are such a helper and pleaser.. You are creative and smart! You are a gift and we LOVE you to pieces!

Josiah is 6!!




We celebrated Josiah's 6th birthday this weekend! What a joy he is! My first born boy.. My breath of fresh air.. My smart and independent, handsome, blue eyed little man! I am so thankful for his calm and peaceful presence in the midst of our sometimes loud and chaotic days:) his eagerness to learn and to be challenged is admirable and his love for his family is precious! I pray nothing about his gentle spirit will change, but that God will use him mightily for His kingdom. We love you more than you will ever know, Jos! You will forever be our Bubba 'Siah!






We had a joint pool party for EK and Jos on Saturday. I only took video, and have no other pics besides these from my phone. His actual birthday was Monday. He woke up to find the kitchen decorated with balloons and a birthday sign:) He asked me to make chocolate chip pancakes for his bday breakfast, McDonalds for his lunch and a special date with Daddy to Cracker Barrel (to get more pancakes) for supper. Bill loved having him all to himself. They ran a few errands to spend some of his birthday money and they sent me pictures from every stop. Josiah said that this was his best birthday ever!! (I love an easy-pleaser!!! Sweet boy!)












Miley the Popstar

Miley is going to wear a cheerleading uniform in a catalog this fall.. And she is beyond thrilled:) she asked me the other day how popstars say thank you.. I told her that I think that they talk just like us. She was afraid they said, "gracias" or something, and she wanted to be prepared because she told me, "when I'm in this magazine, and my friends talk to me, I need to talk like a popstar!" Oh my! She is a mess!



She had an eventful summer. While swimming at Nana Nan's one morning, she was jumping off the edge into the shallow end. She spun around in a circle while she jumped and she didn't quite jump out far enough and busted her chin..






She was our first kid to ever have stitches and the first to be operated on by a plastic surgeon:) she was SO proud of her battle wound and took it like a champ! She had to be put completely under and got a good amount of internal and external stitches but it has healed up SO nicely! However, since her stitches were dissolvable, she couldn't swim or get wet for a while, so that put a little damper on our summer swimming days, but we still managed to have fun!



Miley patted my belly the other afternoon and said, "I see you have a baby in there!" Ummm no, kid. That is just fat. But thanks for always being there to encourage me to exercise:)

This summer, we cracked down in chores around the house. The big kids LOVED them and would beg for more and more... However, one while Miley was sitting beside me folding dish towels, she sighed and said, "I sure do feel like Cinderella!" Poor thing!

Clearly.. I have been busy..

How in the world, have I forgotten my poor little blog? It's not that my kids no longer do any cute/funny/mischievous things.. It's an everyday occurrence around these parts:) I guess I have just been relishing in the sweet moments of my little family this summer, without a care of whether or not I will remember the hilarious incidents of my day. And sadly.. I am sure that I can't remember all of them! However.. King Kong (Adalyn) has had a rather spunky day.


This morning, she was outside playing with the big 3 when she ran back into the house crying, "momma, dat bug scare me and I say AHH!" :) Ella Kate told me she saw a beetle in the mulch. She also pitched a royal fit after lunch when Miley and Josiah ate the last two gingerbread men cookies. She kept crying and begging for her "boogey man!" :) she is talking SO well and I love how she enunciates certain words/sounds. She blames every thing on "lee-wise". EVERYTHING! She also makes sure that we "yook" (look) at her in the car while she sings and dances. Adalyn LOVES Barney and loves it when Ella Kate caters to her every need. She is growing up so fast.. They all are!



They had a blast making cupcakes for July 4th. It worked my nerves a bit when they were spilling flour everywhere and crunching egg shells in the batter, but I am trying to calm down a bit and let them help. After all, that is the only way they will learn:)


This has been the rainiest summer that I can remember.... And I am not at all complaining! It has kept the temperatures cooler and our grass watered:) the kids and bill enjoyed playing in the rain some..


We also had a week at the beach with my family. 18 people in one house.. 10 kids all 6 years and younger:) it really was great! I miss it already!


Ella Kate was a big helper! She enjoyed tending to all of the babies and playing with the big girls! She also braved the big waves with poppa and the aunts:)


Josiah learned how to "surf" and LOVED riding in the waves:) He was a calm and quiet addition.. Loved feeding the deer.


Miley brought home 1 million seashells.. I am not lying. She searched the beach everyday for more treasures. She even hid a hermit crab in her suitcase..


Adalyn liked building sand castles with daddy and playing with "Eddie". (Ellie) those two are best buds. She also loved riding the "car car" (golf cart) every night and feeding the deer.


This little fella ate more sand, sticks and seaweed that I would have ever thought possible. But he was AMAZING! He crawled all in the waves completely fearless and smashed sandcastles like nobody's business:) what a joy!


I love these babies!








This was the last picture of Miney moe sucking her thumb! I am so proud to say that she quit!! All by herself:) she even has a new mermaid barbie to prove it!
