reese's birthday and sawyer's graduation.

and everything in between.

i have been meaning to post this for a while, of course. but didnt have the time. tonight, however, its just me and aidan sitting on the couch (S and M are in bed) while EJ runs reese downtown bc she had a slight fever (99-100) and we're just wanting a bit of rocephin so we can be on our way. hopefully her counts are okay and we arent admitted.

so now i have a bit of time. where i can brag on my babies.

a few weeks ago, a dear friend came into town. erin (check her out here) and her adorable children came in town for like 10 days (with a mid-week break for her to visit others who love her). we had a wonderful time. and i was over the moon blessed to have her here for reese's birthday party, as well.

her entire party was spend cuddling, hanging out, laughing, and cuddling some more - with everyone whose day was made by that cuddle time.

but first, we woke up with some [big] sister love.




and this i took bc my mom promised a smooch from reese's prayer warriors ;) so many people that i wish could have come celebrate with us -- but this will have to do haha


my brother and reese!


amaaazing and delicious cake from Black Flour!


pinata time!!

i cannot believe she is 3. i thought about doing a whole "from 2 to 3" montage, but ill just show comparisons, instead. :) here is my sweetie on her 2nd birthday.

sneaky as ever haha


the week after, was a busy one. reese had in patient chemo - and gave me a load of her "cheese" faces lol

it was one of the longest admission days, ever. just waiting... but she does so well. just hangs out with me.

later in the week was sawyer's preschool graduation.  omg.  she's going to kindergarten next year ::faint:: but ohhhh my what a big girl she has gotten. 


comparison from the beginning of the year haha



off to her graduation!! when asked what she wanted to be when she grew up, she said "a fairy. so i can help people and plants!!"


now a few random special ones. i did a post for light inspired 2 weeks ago about sleeping kids and giggled when the days after presented me with some funny ones ;)


and lastly, a fave from the... well, year. my sweet girls on my birthday this week. follow me on IG for daily hilarity - punkfictionv4

and please pray that we are out of the hospital asap!
