So today Rose is 3 months old! We are hoping and praying her colic disappears really soon. She is sleeping 3 hour stretches during the night, and we are hoping that will increase by at least a couple hours soon too. Momma girl needs some more rest!
She’s rolled over twice, which is way too soon if you ask me! She’s cooing and smiling a lot, which we love!!! She’s so perfect for our family, and we are blessed to have this sweet girl in our lives!
Did anyone else get corn and carrot soup for breakfast on Mother’s Day!?! It was delicious… just ask Rose!
We finished the week off celebrating Noelle’s birthday at the American Girl Bistro!
This was Noelle’s very first visit, and the wait was so worth it!!!
These sisters love each other very much!
Let me start at the very beginning… these are pictures of one excited little girl walking up to the store!
Anna Kate banged on the front window when we walked up, squealing when she saw all the dolls in the window! This is her first visit too!
The whole experience is just so over the top! (in a good, classy way) In the restrooms, they have these doll holders, and they had dolls lined up getting their hair done in the salon. I felt like I had 4 girls the night before because it took me forever to do Lily’s hair and help Noelle get her all “dolled” up!
Taking it all in and doing some pre-party shopping with Poppa!
Oh my goodness! She melts my heart every time I look at her! (this is your car seat pic for the day, Michael Pond) 🙂
John was in Phoenix last week, but we LOVED having Fancy Nancy brunch with us!
Someone’s talking to us… and rolling over too, but that’s another post!
We had reservations for our cousins to come with us, but since they went back to Japan, we let Noelle invite one friend, and she picked Bailey, her very first friend!
Thanks for coming Poppa and Rara!
Birthday girls, because of course, it’s Lily’s birthday too!
Thank you for everything Amanda! Words can’t describe what you mean to me!
Anna Kate is so 2! She is either extremely happy or extremely sad, and today I was relishing in the former!
Princess punch!
Two peas in a pod!
Go girl!
Birthday kiss!
Hope you had a great birthday week celebrating all of your favorite things, Noelle! We love you to the moon and back, and then some!!!
I’m enjoying my girls SO much today; I even fell asleep this afternoon holding Rose in my cozy chair, which was a first!!!
Mother’s Day wishes to all you sweet Mommies out there! Have a blessed day!
If something’s pink, Noelle has to check it out!
Happy 5th birthday Noelle!!! This “no birthday party” thing is working out nicely for you, eh!?!
Noelle wanted to make her own birthday cupcakes this year for school. She worked really hard and did a great job!
Noelle’s friend William came up to me and said, “Mrs. Noelle’s Mom? Will you take my picture with Noelle?” I thought that was so sweet!
Noelle made up a birthday dance and taught it to the class… she’s so funny!
Noelle has such a fun life!
Micah, Ellie, Noelle, Roman, Olivia, Parker, and Bailey
Today is Noelle’s golden birthday – 5 on May 5th! This is a picture of her before school, crown and all!
I just had to include this picture because it’s the first time I’ve ever looked at a picture of her and thought, “Wow, that looks like me when I was little!”
We went to Babe’s with the Pond family to celebrate Noelle’s 5th birthday last weekend! We are having family birthdays for Noelle this year, and she has looked forward to this week for a very long time!
The girls love Babe’s… it has become a family favorite!
The Pond girls!
Uncle Stephen is always a huge hit with the girls!
We got to take lots of fun pictures while we waited on the porch.
Noelle’s favorite part of the night was doing the funky chicken dance while the restaurant sang happy birthday to her. Everyone was looking and saying “Aww” because she did such a good job. Of course, she loved being the center of attention. Then, her favorite, banana pudding! Tonight, she didn’t even have to share! 
Let’s do the Hokey Pokey! Noelle’s become quite the expert at the Hokey Pokey!
One of Stephen’s presents took home the prize as favorite – Noelle’s very own Justin Bieber doll with lots of cool accessories. She asked me if she could keep him in her doll house with her Barbies. I told her that would be a great place for him. She couldn’t wait to take him to church tonight to show all of her friends. What a trip!
HAPPY 5th BIRTHDAY, SWEET NOELLE!
We’re bound to be almost over the colic with Rose. I am hurting for a good night’s sleep, but I’ll do anything for these beautiful little girls!
