Five!

Riley turned 5 the next day, so we had a big party for all her friends at Pump it Up! The birthday girl was in heaven. Here are a ton of pictures of the big day.

These girls are so ready to party!Everybody had a great time!

So glad that cousin Isaac & the grandparents could be there.
It was great that so many of Riley's friends and their families could join us! (even the adults could run, jump & play)

Can't believe I am a mother to a 5 year old! It was so fun to celebrate her special day!

(and leave the mess there and go home to rest!)

a special Sunday

The day after Michael's graduation we made it a very special day. We blessed Lucy in church (similar to a christening) and later that night celebrated birthdays.

Here is the gorgeous babe, Lucy.

All the family who came to support us!

(Don't you love that she is waving?!)
These booties are made by a close family friend and have been worn by all my girls on their blessing day.

However, each daughter has wore their own, different blessing gown, hand made by a grandma, great-grandma, or aunt. This beauty was made by my sister, Monica. Nice work, eh?

We are so happy to have this baby in our family!

The Birthday Celebration
Riley & my sister, Monica, both had birthdays approaching later that week so since we were already all together...time to celebrate!
