Happy 5th Birthday!!!

I cannot understand how 5 years has slipped by so quickly!  It doesn't seem possible.  Today, my baby girl turned FIVE!  I can't imagine life without her!

 

Her party, with one of her friends.  The other one couldn't make it.

Her cake, made by me.  It wasn't perfect- wrong icing.  It tasted good though.

Her party was a Luau theme.

Opening gifts

Her favorite gift!

Cookie cake

A collage I made of a few photos

 

 

Knock knock!

Guess who?  Me!!!  

I'm trying out a different way to wear my headband.  Honestly, I'm feeling old. Do you think I can pull this off? 

Happy Birthday to the Princess!!

Happy 4th Birthday!!! I still can't believe that she is 4!!!

At this time four years ago, she had been on this Earth for 6 hours, and then my body decided to go CRAZY!!! I almost bled to death. It was very very scary! 3 days before she was born, I have a lot of issues- high temperature (104.2) her heart rate was 212. I spent two days in the hospital and they have no idea what was going on. And then the issues after she was born, all they could come up with it was that my uterus wasn't well. But she is here and healthy!!

Now, she is full of attitude, sass, happiness, bossiness, questions, energy, and personality!! She loves to baby her baby brother, and boss her older brothers around. I love her so much and can't imagine what life would be without her!

Part of her cake.

 

She had to wear these shades!  :)

One of my favorites!!

My girl and me!

So pretty!!

She loved the leaves!!!

Fall Pictures... Well Sorta Of

Fall is my favorite season!!!  I LOVE the cooler weather (110+ temps are not for me).  I love the leaves changing, the smell of the holidays, all the yummy food, the magic in my kids eyes!  I love it all!  My kids get excited for Christmas around the first part of November and they dont' calm down till New Years!  It is crazy but I wouldn't change it for anything!  So now I am planning what we are wearing for Fall photos.  They won't be for another week or two but I am a planner!  And right now it is worse with this dreaded surgery coming up!  My oldest 4 boys will be in jeans.  My oldest boy will be in a dark green shirt.  My next boy will be in a brown striped top.  My next two boys will be in a orange top each.  My girl will be in a yellow dress with brown tights.  The baby will be in, probably several outfits, but one that I do know is a one piece cream color outfit that has orange stripes on it.  The man of the house will be in... I have no clue!  I will plan that when he is home, which means him trying on clothes for me.  :)  As for me, well I hate my clothes!  I am thinking they just aren't ME anymore.  But what do I know.  So I had my 3 year old that phone photos of me in different outfits to see what I like since there isn't a full length mirror in this house... mental note, buy a mirror!!!   so here goes.....

 

 

This I like.  I have no tights on, just a white leg!  The top fits and looks good with the skirt.  I love the boots!  They will be worn.  :)

This is the same outfit with brown tights.. I like it better I think.  That is subject to change.  This is a maybe.

Brown tights with purple top.  I am not sure.  It's a maybe.

This would be a no.  The skirt is too big and I look fat.

Purple top with jeans.

Full body of purple top with jeans... it's a maybe too.

The same brown top from above with jeans. 

Full length of the above photo... this is a big maybe.  I like it too! At least I look thin.

A brown sweater with jeans.  It's ok.  The sweater isn't flattering.

Striped top with jeans.  It's ok.  But not for photos.  Two boys will be in stripes and the baby has some stripes on his outfit so no stripes for me.

This is a BIG FAT NO!!!!!!!  I look huge!  The dress is a 4 and swallows me. 

This is my Halloween shirt!  LOVE it!

This is what I will look like!  Love the top!  The man has a matching one! And the kids will be in their super hero costumes!   :)

 

So that is all I have, I have dug through my closet.  I may need to buy something if I don't settle on something here.  I have a couple of options though.  Nothing I am in LOVE with.  But nothing that makes me look huge.  If you read this, leave me a comment on which was your favorite!
