Reese is 5!

Reese's birthday started out with presents...

 Then her choice - a trip to the Zoo!

 It was HOT...but we were all smiles!

 Sometimes being a mom is a piece of cake...

 other times things get out of hand!  

 When it started getting really hot we hit the splash pad!

 They splashed a played for about an hour, then it was time to dry off with a snack.

 Next stop...

 It was Jeter's first time!  We rode once and then it started pouring!  

 So we hung out and watched it for a bit...

 took a couple selfies...

 Then decided to buy some umbrellas!  ;)

 This boy was worn out and decided to sleep through the fun of getting back to the car!  ;)

 Once we got home, Reese tried out her bubble machine before we all got cleaned up for her birthday dinner!

Once daddy got home, we headed to PlayTime Pizza!

 It was pretty empty which was so nice!

 Ryne being a good sport!

 I hung out with little man...

 while the bigs did this...

 Jeter and I could see them through the window!  He waved every time!  :)

 Time for more games...

 I did a little Putt Putt with the birthday girl!

 This poor guy had an overstimulated meltdown!

 So we called it quits and took the amazing 5 year old (and her siblings) how for bed.

Happy birthday to my favorite 5 year old!  You are a sweet, kind, loving, free spirit and I love you more than life itself!

Reese is turning 5!

After we celebrated Jeter, we headed up to a paint place to celebrate Reese!

  My little princess found a princess cake that she just had to have!  

 My art loving girl was pretty pumped to get started!

 Jeter was a little tired, over stimulated, and kinda crazy!  There was a lot of breakable stuff...but thankfully it all remained unharmed!

 She had lots of friends there...

 Everyone had to have a turn on the throne...even Daddy!  ;)

 We sang happy birthday and she blew her candles out like a pro!

 3 little Francis'

 These boys I just know will be great friends!

 We loaded up and headed home for a little bit before the Grands had to go home.

 The next day my sweet girl helped load up and deliver all the donations she collected instead of birthday presents from friends.  This made a lot of kids at a camp super happy I'm sure!  ;)

Happy birthday sweet girl!  You are just a little ray of sunshine!  I feel so blessed that you are ours!  You are growing into a wonderful big sister and handling so many changes.  I am so proud of you!  4 was a fun year with you...but every year has been so fun!  I can't wait to see what year 5 brings!
