Kelly's 6th Birthday

Hard to believe our little princess is now 6! 

This year her birthday was on Saturday so she got to have her party on the same day.

I decorated the house Friday night so she was so excited to see everything when she woke up!

A princess party would not be complete without tiaras

Kyleigh got to spend the weekend with us and we had lots of fun!

They didn't have a Sofia cake so I brought them a picture that I found on Pinterest. I love how it turned out.

This was the first year that we invited Kelly's school friends. Having her best friends spend the day with her made the day even more special.

This is one of my favorite pictures of the day

Austin spent a lot of the party in the jumpy castle with Kyleigh.

Kelly's First Visit From The Tooth Fairy

On Wednesday, May 7th, Kelly lost her first tooth! I was making dinner and telling Jacob that the Tooth Fairy would be stopping by very soon when she walked into the kitchen with her tooth in her hand. She was so excited!

The next morning she was happy to find that the Tooth Fairy had stopped by.

And during breakfast, her second tooth came out! Unfortunately she swallowed it :(

She could not wait to go to school and show all her friends!

Jacob's Graduation

So, the day finally came and Jacob is now finished with school! 

I'm not even sure how to begin to say how proud I am of him. He went to work full time, school full time, and did it all so that the kids and I didn't feel the effects of it. There were a lot of 2 AM mornings for him, but Jacob did all of that and still got honors! There were 576 students in the Robinson College of Business, 136 of them were honor students and Jacob was one of them! 

The kids' were so happy to watch Daddy graduate! I love that they got to be a part of this and will be able to look back at pictures and know that they are a big part of why Daddy did this!

I can't imagine how his parents felt! I know I teared up when I spotted him the first time.  

I was so thankful that the man who hates 

taking pictures let us take some!!!

The Graduate

Proud Parents

These two love their Daddy

I can't say it enough, I am so proud of every thing you have done! I am so blessed that you came into my life and our kids could not have a better role model than you! I love you more than you will ever know! 

After graduation Jacob gave this to me
