Cheyenne's 4th Birthday

Cheyenne had a great 4th birthday. We had several family members over to celebrate. She wanted a Cinderella cake and that's what she got!

Opening presents. Aunt Cheryl made her a Hannah Montana blanket!


She got several movies, one of them being Alvin and the Chipmunks. She also got the Squeakquel.

I can't believe my baby is 4 years old. These 4 years have gone by fast. We hope to enjoy the next few years cause I know they will go by fast too. We're so proud of Cheyenne. She's become a fine little girl, and a daddy's girl at that! We love you Cheyenne! Happy Birthday!

Easter

I know it's been a few weeks since Easter but I'm playing catch up on posts remember? Easter weekend was a little different this year. Not only was it Easter, Cheyenne also turned 4 on Friday. My brother was able to come home on Saturday but not Sunday and my sister couldn't get off work so she didn't even make it home. Scott was working days as well. And of course the holidays are still difficult without my grandparents there. Saturday morning I took the girls to Bushton for the Easter Egg Hunt. They got to get eggs and candy and play with their friends. Then we headed out to mom and dad's for an early Easter dinner. While mom finished lunch, the girls and I played outside. We had a delicious Easter dinner but it was a little different not having everyone there. Afer we finished eating and doing dishes, the girls and I headed home to get ready for Cheyenne's birthday party that evening.

Back and Proud

I've really been wanting to start posting on here again but haven't had the time. I took the laptop to bed last night and sat there paying bills and hoping to get something posted when Cheyenne came in. She wanted to lay with me. Then a few minutes later here comes Cheryl. She wanted in bed too. It was Scott's first night back on nights so I didn't mind the company. While I finished paying bills the girls were playing and laughing. It was after 10:00 and I figured they wouldn't go to sleep until I turned the light off. I put the laptop away, turned out the light and laid in bed with them. It wasn't long and they were asleep. And so was I!

I just got a text from the girls' babysitter with a picture that I thought I could take a few minutes out of working to post and hopefully get me back into it!

They have been and we have been working with Cheyenne on writing her name. She has kind of a long one to write so we got the Chey down first. The only problem was that she wrote it from right to left instead of left to right. She wrote it backwords on our steps with chalk this weekend. Today she wrote it right on the white board at daycare! The N's need a little work but we're getting there! I'm so proud of her!

Now hopefully these posts won't be few and far between. I have lots of pictures to post and things to talk about!
