We have made it thru 4 birthday parties, that means cake, food, swimming and just having a great time!! Libby woke up the day before she turned 5 and asked me mom am I 5 this day? I told her no not yet, she seemed a little disapointed because she's been waiting for this day a whole yr!! I did get to have her birthday off of work so I had a special day planned for her! She ended up coming into my bed on the eve of her birthday, so we slept in and when her little eyes opened I greeted her with a song of happy birthday, her face lit up...a memory I will hold forever! She told me she felt like she was 5 today! So we all got ready and dropped Piper off at daycare, then libs and I were off to Mcdonalds for breakfast! After breakfast we hit up the hotel and went swimming! We then got to go home for just a little unwind time then we were off to meet dad for quiznos(libby's favorite place to eat!) After that I dropped her off at preschool and I was off to get everything else ready for the evening!! After Lib's was done with preschool she went to g'ma and g'pa's house, so Josh and I decided to surprise her there with her 4 wheeler and new moto cross helmet!! We had her open her helmet in the house and told her the rest of the gift was outside but she needed to wait until it was ready! She was soo excited and could hardly contain herself! We walked her out(with her new helmet on)and she froze..put her hands under her helmet and over her mouth and screamed awwwwww a four wheeler...for me!!! She was STOKED!!!! She hopped right on it and couldnt wait to give er a whirl!! The first thing she asked Josh was how we jumped it!! So we then had to drive home with the four wheeler trailered, and Libby had to wear her helmet in the car the whole waaay home!! We got home and she had her favorite supper..brats, corn, bread and oreo pudding cake for desert!! So needless to say her fifth birthday was perfect!! At the end of the wk she had her friends birthday and that went great it was her very first one and she wanted to go swimming so thats what we did I picked the girls up at preschool her and 3 friends and they swam for a couple hours then had cupcakes! So now we are onto saturday, my mom decided to take libby for the day so I could get ready for the fam party and Kim took Piper, so Josh and I were able to get everything accomplished!! I really wanted to do a topsy turvy cake and libby wanted tinkerbell so thats what I did!! So that evening mom and dad brought libby home after a day of home depot work shop..and she managed to talk gma into quiznos for lunch! So she actually fell asleep on the way home..but we woke her up and once she saw her cake and lit up once again and was ready to party!! She got some great gifts and had a great time!! On sunday we had another party to go for..but this time it was a superbowl party at my brothers house, so it was fun!! So by Monday she was shot!! She was supposed to have dance but fell asleep on the way there so we decided to skip it and have a veg night at home! So from there we had a regular wk, waiting for saturday to come so we could go to the waterpark hotel with Josh's side and celebrate birthdays some more!! So now it's Sunday and here I write as the girls play and battle it out..both extremely wore out but dont want to give up just yet! They had a blast swimming, all you heard all wknd from Piper was NO I DO IT!! She went down the little and big water slides by herself and played be herself, she had a BLAST! She even was going down the slides backwards on her belly..little too cocky for her own good!! Libby has become quite the swimmer as well she was going down the slides all on her own she would strap on her life jacket and off she would go! She can swim under water really well too!! They were both soo wiped out on the way home that we didnt even leave rochester and they both were OUT!! So now we have a few weeks off to catch up, then we get busy again!! As for the girls where they are learning and development wise..Libby can identify all the letters and is starting to understand what some words are, her counting is excellent!! Piper can identify all body parts, most animal sounds, know how to mother her babies really well, and is 70% potty trained! So they are literally growing up before my eyes!! I am going to post a lot of pictures so ENJOY!!!
