My baby turned FOUR!


Here we go again, y'all 😭😭😭

Normally Daddy doesn't get to take birthdays off because if he does one, he has to do them all. But, her birthday was the only one he'd have to do this year so we went for it. Especially because her adventure of choice was a 6 hour round trip drive and we didn't want to save it for a weekend when the place would be even more packed. 
So we woke up on her big day and hit the road! We had to stop and pick up a special little friend ❤ My kids are insane creatures inside these four walls but outside? They are quiet little shy beings (for the most part). I loved the fact that she wanted to bring a buddy with her on our adventure and thankful that her parents trusted us with their cargo! 

Jeremy and I questioned our life choices an hour into the trip and sometimes Mommy had to take the back seat to break up who's skin was next to who's for a bit 😉

Birthday girl needed to be touched, naturally 🫶

But we made it! The place was being cleaned as we entered which made my heart sing LOL And we were alone 97% of the time 👐

Neither one of the littles would do this when we first arrived!

Our annual birthday shot ❤ By golly, she's a keeper!

It was hard to catch the boys!

They played their little hearts right out! 

We dropped off little miss, grabbed some pizza for dinner and headed home to meet Beba and Bompa for part 2 of our fun packed day!

A baby playdough kit?! Are you kidding me!?

I can't even!

Happy Birthday, Mia-Rose!

She is healthy and not due for anything, so we opted to skip her well-visit. There's no sense in taking her into the doctor's office this time of year, Daddy brings us enough germs! 😅 
So, she's this tall and still our peanut! 

Approximately 38.5 inches and 33.6 pounds!

She's entered her sour patch kid phase with us and her siblings. 
Eating is her least favorite thing to do, especially that last meal of the day! She is a girly girl through and through with her sister - loving Barbies, babies, makeup, doing hair and playing house. Play dough and coloring are the best time keepers - she truly couldn't care less about TV! But she's also always down to get dirty outside or bust out her Pokemon cards with her brothers! 

We love her to pieces, our little Lou-Lou (a nickname that popped out of my mouth randomly one day and has stuck for us) ❤ It's so hard to remember the days without her and we can't wait to see what mischief we can get into together this next year!
