Forget Me Not

A mother does not forget.  Ever. Remembering you today and your absence for these last 5 years.

Amelia is 4

It's hard to believe, but Amelia turned 4 today. They always say that they grow up so fast and it's so true. The days are slow but the years are fast. We had a princess party for her yesterday at our house. Weeks ago, Amelia requested a princess castle cake. When she first suggested it, I thought it would be too difficult and almost tried to talk her into something else. But then I thought to myself, she's only 4 and little once, so give her what she asked for. So, pinterest hunting I went. With the help of ice cream cones, I think the cake turned out pretty awesome. It was a great day, nice weather, and fun with the family.

This is the 3rd fist full of chips that he had been into the kitchen to sneak.

For her birthday dinner tonight, she requested macaroni and cheese. Whenever I ask her (or Truman) what they want for dinner, that's what they ask for.

Grandma Pat's Birthday

Today is Pat's birthday. We went to Pratt for supper then came home for ice cream cake. It tastes awful.

Grandma Ann's Birthday

Last Saturday was Grandma Ann's birthday party. We had a spaghetti lunch then Mom reserved the pool at the hotel for a couple of hours and the kids had a blast.

Joy.

Like father...

Like son.

Last man standing.
