3....

Can you believe it's been three years since this girl was born! It seems to be going so fast, but I love her!
Harper woke up so early the day of her birthday! She was so excited to open her presents that she went and woke up everyone in the house! She has been starring at them for a few days so she was more than ready to open them! 
Her favorite thing she got was her new pink scooter! She has been riding around on the boys and really she's great at it so we thought its time for her to have her own! So when we found this pink one with streamers and a bell we knew she had to have it!
That morning we got ready for her birthday tea party that she was going to have with her friends!!! She couldn't wait she was so excited to have just her girls over and absolutely no boys!!!



So we got everything prepped and took jack to the bus and then it was time to party! One of the bus moms was kind enough to take our picture since we were all dressed up!
When we got home we waited for all her friends to get there. 15 minutes seemed like an eternity for Harper! But they all finally arrived!
We had all of harpers favorites! Flower shaped pb&j, strawberries, grapes and cheese! They drank pink lemonade out of little mason jars! It was kind of a country tea party but it was just the cutest!
All the girls were told to wear their prettiest dress which they all did! It was just adorable! After the lunch, presents and cupcakes the girls played, blowed bubbles and fought over who had the prettiest shoes! Later that night we had to go to soccer! But Harper loved it because all her best girls where there again! Our whole neighborhood is on the same soccer team almost so it works out well for me and Harper! She gets to play with her friends and I get to chat with mine!
After soccer Harper chose cafe rio for dinner with daddy! It's her favorite so I wasn't to surprised! It was great because she finally got to hang out with richard since he had been at work all day and then had to coach soccer!
Then we headed home for cupcakes! She sure was spoiled but that exactly how it should be on your birthday! She was so tired that night and crashed right out as soon as she climbed in bed!
She got some new dress up for her birthday and jack has been so nice to play with her! Here she was a pirate fairy and he's king candy! She is so lucky to have such great brothers!
She also has been tearing it up on her scooter! The neighbor girl down the road has been a little jealous of it and tries to ride it all the time and Harper is pretty possessive about it so she's been hiding it in the backyard! She been scooting all over the place back there! Happy birthday to my sweet girl! I love her so much! We truly are thr best of friends! I know that because she tells me all the time! We have to stick together in This house full of boys! Love my little lady!

Mother's Day...

Mother's Day was a great day!!! The kids couldn't wait to wake me up in the morning so they could give me the things they made at school and their cards! They were all so excited and so was I! Trey made me a flower pen and wrote a huge letter to me! It was really sweet! Then they all gave me a card! Trey and jack made me breakfast in bed with no help from richard while me and Harper snuggled! We got ready for church and headed outside to take Mother's Day pictures.

Trey was asked to give a talk in sacrament meeting about a month ago as a tribute to his mom. I was so nervous for him because he is only seven though he seems so much more mature! All the other kids were teenagers or 20 something's. He wasn't nervous until we started to walk up the steps to the church then he really started to feel it. But he walked in and went straight up to the front to sit with all those other kids! He looked so tiny and everyone was going up there to give him a pep talk. But let me tell you he did an amazing job he was the first one and honestly the best one. Trey and richard wrote the cutest talk and it's something that I will never forget!
I was so proud of him he is definitely braver than I am. He said the sweetest things so I now feel like I am somewhat suceeding at this whole mom thing. 
After church we headed home and richard made dinner! It was a fantastic day! I'm so happy to be the mom of these three beautiful kids. They truly make being a mom the best ever! I love them so much and I'm proud of the little people that they are turning into!
