Baby girl is 6!

My baby girl turned 6!

I am so torn about this.

On the one hand, I do NOT miss lugging car seats around, trying to find a baby changing station, and worrying about all the small things they would put in their mouths.

BUT...on the other hand, I am out of the baby stage (have been for a few years now, I know).

And the fact that Madelyn is getting bigger makes me a little sad.

Stay small.

Keep snuggling.

Hold my hand when we cross the road.

Draw me pictures.

Don't grow up!

But, no body listens to me anyway, so she keeps growing.

So, we celebrated.

We went out to lunch at her favorite Indian restaurant.

(I LOVE that Indian is her favorite)

She requested horse cupcakes, and big sister delivered!

They turned out so cute.

And that night, we caught fireflies in the front yard...

Such a perfect 6 year old activity.

Happy Birthday Baby Girl!

Let's just not turn 7, ok?

Arrows and Animals

Ashlyn started an archery class...

It ended up being a very cold evening in June!

And she was the only girl there, and she did great!

Love her!

     

I took the kids to the zoo, and found that a 65 degree day in June is the BEST for walking through the zoo! Our great friend, Charlie joined us, and we had a blast.

Sitting on turtle statues.

And in bird nests.

Sliding down slides!

And pretending to be turtles ourselves!

We did see animals too...I just don't take photos of them anymore.

I mean, do we really need a photo of the zebra EVERY year?

I'm over it. I just stick to photos of my kids these days. :)
