Kapri, you are FOUR!

Kapri, you turn 4 today...FOUR! It WAS just yesterday that I got to kiss you for the first time and I swear this morning I was pinching myself that I brought such a perfect baby girl home. But no, it was 4 years ago. You are my true princess and your sense of humor is what gets me through some long days.  If I could write down all the funny things you say I could have made a few novels already. Let me tell you some of the things that make you, YOU!


* Micah is still your best friend, but you have managed to let Maggie (your school friend) take that title every so often.
* You LOVE to give kisses at very random times (I'm not complaining)
* You have adjusted to being a big sister to Maddux just fine, as you were a little apprehensive about him when you learned that he was going to be a boy!... I mean really you threw a fit and I have video to prove it.
* You have discovered Ranch dressing this year and you are now empowered to try any food, so long as it's dipped, smothered and dredged in Ranch.
* You are funny, seriously.
* You have 2 nervous tics:
1. If anything/situation makes you uncomfortable your first tic is to turn to me and say "Mommy, I love you"
2. If you are scared, hurt or sad your other tic is to say "Mommy, I miss Dukie"
*** We lost our beloved dog Duke May 7th, 2014***
*Every object that you put in your hand instantly becomes part of the royal family. Your fork and spoon are usually the King and Queeen, crayons and markers are the Prince and Princess'... and it goes on and on!
* You are such a girly girl.  Dressing up, putting on play make-up and painting your nails makes you so happy.
* You recently have been wanting to hit in the batting cage and when you asked, I secretly died with pride inside.
* There is not a night that goes by that you don't try and sneak into our bedroom, and when asked why, you simply reply with the same answer every time... "because I wanted to keep you company"

I can't thank God enough for bringing such a beautiful light into our world, keep shinning my love!

...PS, I swear you own clothes, you and your big brother are what we call Hippies :)

Hello & Goodbye to Sum•mer

sum·mer 1 ˈsəmər/ noun 1 .  the warmest season of the year, in the northern hemisphere from June to August and in the southern hemisphere from December to February. I just wanted to give myself a second to really think about this thing called summer. Anyone else think this definition is just a little bit vague? It's that time of year where we get all excited to have ZERO schedule, endless electronics, the chance to travel and cram in all of the fun you planned for all year long. Then when this so called "summer" ends, you feel bamboozled, like someone just waved that 4th of July pie you went to that party to specifically eat, right in front of your face only to look...not eat. Like seriously, it was here, right in front of my face, and now... it's gone. Now, now we pack lunch every night, we get our homework in (which I don't even understand), we figure out which parent is going to be the taxi for the day, we actually have to ...

She Turned 7!

SEVEN, she did it again... who does she think she is trying to get another year older on us. In all seriousness, she is SEVEN. Like, what happened to 5 and 6? Let me tell you what 7 looks like on my little Pripri... Just a few things about this girl 1. Guess who her favorite person is...duh. Micah 2. She is soooo much more compassionate and caring than I could have ever imagined. 3. She might be 7, however her attitude screams teen! She is sensitive but oh so brave and she is never afraid to take on new adventures! 4. Her best friend is still, you guessed it, Maggie. 5. Right now she is playing softball (second season) and is having a ton of fun. Cheerleading is still on her brain, but for now, we will stick with this. 6. When she laughs, you can't help but laugh with her. Her laugh alone will make you light up. 7. Her favorite things include: Unicorns, Bear (her pink one), Unicorns, Mermaids, those fake glasses (see pic below), her American Girl Doll (pic above), Uni...

When I turned around... Micah turned 8.

For just a split second if I close my eyes real tight, I still picture the tired me holding the only months old crying you in the middle of the night and can remember the "I know this isn't forever, but please make it stop" feeling. I truly did want you to stop crying BUT I also knew that me nurturing for you like that, wasn't going to last long.... so I swayed a little more and embraced your little body with all of me. Then I turned around and you were 8. In 8 years we have discovered more and more about the person you will be, and I am so very proud of what we are about to see. So once again I share with you what your 8 looks like! 1. You are madly in love with your little brother and he knows it! 2. Baseball and ATA (Blue/Brown Belt) are your activities, and you are doing great at both... we might need to work a little harder at the whole catching thing. 3. We all LOVE the way you laugh out loud at ANYTHING remotely funny in a quiet movie theater, it's ex...
