Lilly is 5 Today!!

Can you believe Lilly is already 5?!? She has been so anxious for her birthday party, that she forgot about the actual birthday! Thanks to the phone calls from her Great Grandma Betty Lou, Aunt Melani, Great Grandpa Bill and Grandma Deanna & Grandpa Paul, she realized what her birthday was all about!

Mark and I went and picked up a few things for her today to help celebrate, and even took her balloons to school. She was so excited, she even got a little goody bag from Mrs. Stricker, her teacher, and was sung to twice! So now for this weekend for the real party! I am looking forward to having our family and friends come out to join us... especially the few of them that haven't been to our house yet! It's nice to know that we have family and friends willing to go the extra mile for us! Thank you guys :)

Thank you all who sent cards for her as well, it's the little things that count, and she will always remember those little things. I am starting to realize that she is at that point where she retains A LOT of information, birthdays are always something to remember. I can remember being 5 and can still remember all the fun things and all the people in my life at that point. It is important to me that she has those memories as well.... Childhood, wasn't it great??

I thought that I would post a few pictures of the past 5 years to see how she has grown! Sorry if I am a little sappy... time has just flown by and it has all just hit me :)

Baby Mark's 4d Debut

Today we had our last 3d-4d ultra sound. Here is a little video of his face and movement. He definitely looks like the family, but seems to have his own look. The girls looked a lot alike in their ultrasounds, maybe he looks different because he is a boy?? Non the less, he is still very cute as far as we can see. I can't wait to be able to compare the real pics to the 3d ones!!
