This sweet baby is one of my greatest blessings! She is so cute, smiley, happy, patient and fun! I could hold her and kiss her all day!

Circus Party
A few days after we got home from Wyoming this summer, we had Hannah's 3rd birthday party! It was really easy, and really simple and really fun! We found some cute party favors from the dollar section of Target, so we decided to do a "Circus Party."
This was the cute invitation - designed by Kelsi (my cousin-in-law). She did such a cute job (as usual!)
Hannah excited for her party - with the party favors behind her.
We made cupcakes and the kids decorated them
Heidi Richardson (Hannah's best friend). We started by letting them color a circus page when they first came.
Then we went outside and played games....bean bag toss

Hannah's First Day of Preschool
I don't know who was more excited for the first day of preschool - Hannah or me!! I'm pretty sure it was me!! This cute girl is LOVING preschool and I'm so grateful that she loves it and that she gets to go with her best friend, Heidi. They go 2 mornings a week and I am loving the time with just my sewing machine and Hailey!

Life with Hannah
Life with Hannah is interesting! Because she turned 3, we had her get rid of her binkies. She's done really well with it, but has instantly given up naps. She was taking a 2-3 hour nap each day and easily falling asleep by 9:00 at night. Well, no more! This stinker now crawls into bed with us each and every early morning and then takes quite awhile to go to sleep at night. Because of that, I've often found her like this:
Which is fine (other than the marker she's holding right over the carpet), but it's always at 5:00 at night. Her new thing is she also completely undresses to go to the bathroom, including taking the rubberbands out of her hair.
But, amazingly, we love this little girl so much! She cracks us up each and every day and it's been fun to see her begin preschool, start a new gymnastics & dance class, and listen to her talk and talk and talk!

Back to School
We had a great summer, but I always love the beginning of a new school year! The kids started on Monday, August 22nd and so far, they are all having a great year! Emily's in 6th grade with Mrs. Kjar (pronounced "Care"), Lindsey's in 4th grade with Mrs. Horne, Jack's in 2nd grade with Ms. Jackson and Kate is in Kindergarten with Mrs. Tomlinson.
The hottest 2 weeks of the summer decided to happen the first 2 weeks of school, but the kids seem to be really enjoying being back and are loving their teachers. Kate had to wait an extra week to start, which nearly killed her. We even had a horrible stomach bug go through our entire family (except Hailey!) and Kate was so determined to go to Kindergarten the first day, that she waited and got sick the next day.
One more week and Hannah will start preschool 2 days a week and I'm just a little excited to think of 2 mornings with just Hailey. Hopefully she'll take a nap most of those mornings and I may actually have a wee bit of time to myself!
