Cottage Visit

The girls and I enjoyed a visit to "Great Grandma Jenkins'" cottage this week. Priscilla, Samantha, and I had a successful fishing session with Grandpa, and we also collected some water lillies. Priscilla and Samantha went home with Grandma and Grandpa, and Natasha and I had a VERY quiet ride home.

The House That Mike Built

Mike wanted to get Priscilla something really special for her birthday, so he decided upon this cedar playhouse. He came up the day before the party to put it together. It took a little longer than we anticipated, and we worked well into the night. We finally finished around 1am.





It was all worth it seeing her face the next day when we revealed it to her at the party that afternoon.

Princesses

My girls have known from an early age that they are princesses. I am not sure how they know it, they just do. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that when they were babies I would dress them in head to toe pink to minimize the number of comments I would get about my cute little boy. Dressing up just starts earlier when you have two big sisters :)

Priscilla turns 5!

I can't believe my little girl is already five. We had a nice party just the five of us on the night of her birthday. The following weekend we had some of the family over to celebrate.

Preschool graduation

I remember telling Jeff how rediculous I think it is that they now have a ceremony for a preschol gradutation. Those feelings didn't stop me from pushing my way to the front of the room to get a good shot of my little girl. She had such a great experience and made so many friends at school and I am glad to see she isn't shy like her momma was as a kid.

The cupcake next to Samantha's plate is the one Priscilla dropped on the floor and then tried to give to Samantha. The sad thing is, she was going to take it. I made sure she got a fresh one, though.
