Some Lasts

Petra had her last Preschool get-together last night, I only got one picture.
 
Apparently Maverick likes to eat whole apples?!  I didn't know!

Last day of school goofy pic.



Last "nice" picture on the last day.

Last time being silly brother and sister waiting for the bus.

Last time getting on the bus... all until august, that is!!!

Just a little side by side comparison, with equally adorable photo bombs :)
 
It's all bittersweet.  I'm a little sad that my kiddos are growing up and time is moving by so fast, but I'm also super excited for them that they are getting older and being able to experience new things, and that they are smart, healthy, and super cute :)

The Big 7!!

Dax's 7th birthday was Wednesday, we celebrated with birthday pancakes, a birthday snack, birthday dinner and birthday cupcakes.  Yes, we love food :)
 
I made Dax a chalkboard sign while he was at school, this was him checking it out when he got off the bus.

Thumbs up!

Fishin' cupcakes for after dinner.

Grandpa & Grandma came over for dessert.  We sang Happy Birthday and dove right in!
{He will be having his friends over this weekend for a party}

Maverick is totally in to silly faces when I get the camera out. :)
 
Money!!  He's saving for a video game that mommy won't buy him, ha!

Gma, Gpa, & the gang

Grandpa & Grandma got him a baseball set, so we opened it up and started practicing... in the house, of course!

Obligatory family picture! 
My kids will thank me for all of the family pictures when their older, I'm totally sure of it :)

Gigi is Three!!

I know I've skipped a few months, but I wanted to get these pictures up before her next birthday, haha!
 
For her 3rd birthday, Gigi wanted a...
Max and Ruby
Cinderella
Barbie
Little Bear
Strawberry Shortcake party!
 
 
I made Gigi, Petra, and cousin, Louisa, Strawberry Shortcake dresses. 
(Dresses similar to these are available in my shop!)
 
 
We just did snacks and cake.  I got everything I could find that was Strawberry shortcake related, it was a sugar fest!
 
 
 
Strawberry Shortcake jars (angelfood cake, strawberries, & whipped cream) and a cake from the local grocery store.  There's no way I could have made something that pretty!!
 
 
 
Strawberry Shortcake rolls, strawberry wafers, and chocolate strawberries that I made myself!  The picture is from Gigi's 1st birthday, LOVE that picture!
 
 
Gigi getting ready to blow out her candle.  Unfortunately, with all of my planning I forgot to get candles!!  We ended up using a 2 candle that I put a paper 3 in front of.  Thankfully, the paper 3 didn't catch on fire!!
 
Yummy treats!
 
Pinata time!  I made the pinata, tutorial found here.
 
Best family picture ever!  Don't you agree?? :)
 
Girl favors: Monogrammed, handsewn pouches stuffed with goodies!
 
Boy favors
 
Silly girl, so happy to be 3!!
 
The girls in their dresses... and Maverick
 
Sportin' her Strawberry Shortcake shades, ha!
 
Forgot to get pictures with all of the guests, but I did get one with my dad!
