Noelle had her first fund raiser for school, and it was a fun run during school one day!

She ran SO hard, 42 laps hard!!! 

She was hamming it up and having so much fun, and Anna Kate was busy socializing with Noelle’s friend, Autumn!

She just kept running and running and running!

Peace!

Noelle running with one of her sweet classmates, Emily!

Anna Kate got to run a lap with sissy and had so much fun!

Anna Kate and Rose made a good cheering section!  Noelle making a heart with her hands to me… she’s so expressive!

Anna Kate and Lila, and Chloe and Anna Kate…

We are so PROUD of Noelle for running 42 laps… I had NO idea she could run so fast for so long!  Mike is ready to start taking her running with him now… and it’s time to make her buy/wear her first pair of real tennis shoes with laces!

Thanks for the giggles and yogurt, Poppa!

You are on the go, girl!  You are our fastest baby by a long shot!  This was definitely a learning month for you… you accomplished so much!  You can say “Mama” (the doctor heard you call for me and couldn’t believe it!) and “Hi!” and wave and clap and crawl and pull up on your knees!  I can’t believe all of that!  You are so sweet and happy and you melt our hearts every time we look your way – you’re precious, baby Rose!

We had such a great time playing with Brylee and Cerly this week!

I call this picture “The Collision”

And this picture “Intertwined”

And then the big sisters arrived on the scene!

The girls had so much fun dressing up like butterflies.  They were adorable dancing to “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.”  I wish we had videoed them… they were so carefree!

Man, these babies were fast today! 

These last two were pictures that Tanna took that I knew were going to turn out cute!  They’re just two friends having a good time… 🙂

Big time!  And… her first little tooth is poking through in the middle on the bottom!

Noelle brought me this picture and said, “I drew some corn for you, Mom.”  And so she did.  Got corn!?!  We do!  🙂

Noelle had her kindergarten school picture last week!

We love a good Babe’s birthday celebration!

Our silly girls!

Noelle had been waiting for Mike to dress up like a chicken ALL day!

And of course, a good ol’ round of hokey pokey!

Thanks Grandpapa and Kay Kay for the awesome birthday celebration!!!

For some reason I always remember the birthday we surprised Mike in “the apple dresses” up at his office.  This memory came to me over the weekend when I was thinking about ways I was going to make Mike’s birthday special.  Anyway, this is always fun for us as a family, so I thought I’d let you in on the fun!
