Brooke's Birthday

Yes it's true. Our little girl has made it another year and is a whopping 5 YEARS OLD! Where has the time gone?!? Brooke decided she wanted a butterfly party and so Shan being the loving Mommy that she is decided to do all she could to fulfill our little girl's birthday wish. We had a party over at our house where the kids got to make little paper butterflies, catch bubbles in their very own butterfly nets, enjoy the fruits of destroying a butterfly pinata, and finally of course, enjoying some butterfly shaped cake and ice cream. Fun, fun, fun. Anyway, thanks to all who called with birthday greetings and sent great birthday gifts for her birthday. She loved all of her gifts and we feel so lucky to have such great family and friends who care so much for our little girl. Enjoy the pictures!



It's my birthday! Time to go CRAZY!!!!!



""What better to do with a long stick than to swing it at stuff?"



"It seems like I've caught hundreds of bubbles but none of them seem to stay in my net"



Shan actually made a cocoon cake about 3 weeks ago and luckily it had turned into a butterfly in time for her birthday.

"I'm sorry Mr. Butterfly, but it's all for the cause"

Brooke watering her new birthday garden. The house we're renting had a pond in the backyard which is not a good mix with two young kids so for Brooke's birthday we let her pick out some flowers and converted it into a garden.
