Ady's Birthday Recap

We had a fairly low key birthday this year due to the pandemic! She started off the morning eating Gigi's pull aparts (monkey bread) and then had some friends over for playtime and presents and chick fil A! 

Drew and Ady picking out their favorite popcorn for movie night!

We had the Kona ice truck come and a birthday parade with all of her friends! 

Poppa's cool car even made an appearance!

I would say it was a super successful 6th birthday for our big girl! 

Buddies

We've said several times that each of our kiddos has a special relationship with the others. Drew has had a lot of golf time with daddy lately and Will and Ady have had plenty of playtime. They have become quite the little buddies during this time!

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BAILEY!

Our old girl turns 13 today!! She got her usual McDonalds cheeseburger and lots of attention today as we celebrate her birthday. We also reminded her again that she must make it to 20 as we'll NEVER find such an amazing family dog again like her. She is truly one of a kind and the best dog EVER. Although she's lost some hearing and eyesight she still fetches a ball and will swim in a body of water if given the chance. :)

The day we rescued her...

 

And then today!

Randoms

Our friends down the street have been hosting a driveway church each Sunday for the kiddos and it's been amazing. Kelly was a formal music teacher and does amazing at holding their attention and teaching them something short and sweet each weekend.

Learning to love reading like his brother and sister...

Family game night...

Drew lost his first molar!

Ady loves reading via Zoom to Mimi and Grandpa in Kansas. It's nice because it frees up a bit of time for mommy and entertains them during quarantine too! :)

Ady's Dance Recital 2020

What a crazy season it's been. When COVID hit in March the studio shut down and went online for all dance classes. Keeping 5/6 year olds attention on learning a routine via the computer was TOUGH. But somehow, magically, our studio did it and we had a very socially distanced recital in a hotel ballroom last weekend. It was so great and I'm so proud of these sweet girls and how well they did all things considered. 

I also never resist a photo opp of such a beautiful little thing! She had a ballet, tap and jazz routine and 2 outfits this year. :)

Smooshy Face

Love this little squirt with all my heart.
