Happy 4th Birthday to Our Precious Gift!!!!


Sophie turned 4 years old on Saturday, September 12th. I can hardly believe it. She celebrated with a party with some of her friends. We were lucky there wasn't any rain as she just wanted to play lots of games outside for her party. We had to move the games to the driveways rather than the backyard, but the kids had a great time!

Sunday, I drove with the kids to Kearney (while Matt worked on staining the fence) and celebrated Sophie and Sawyer's birthdays. My mom recently had rotator cuff surgery, and I didn't want her to make the uncomfortable trip to Omaha. So, we brought the party to her for the day. Of course, the kids had a great time celebrating with everyone and loved getting to play with their cousin, Keaton.

We celebrated with Sawyer too since his birthday is the 21st.

We came home Sunday night from Kearney. The kids were exhausted after a full day of FUN!

We are so thankful to God for our spirited, fun-loving, ever-joyful (albeit now with a new found 4-year-old attitude) :) little girl, Sophie!
WE LOVE YOU, SWEETHEART!!!!!
