Birthdays!

Hannah turned 6! It was a mellow birthday party with just our family. She wanted roller blades and art supplies. We took her to Chuck E Cheese and she proclaimed it the best day ever. She's so easy to please!
This little girl was my hardest toddler. She screamed at everyone from 6 months - 3 years. I wondered if she would ever like people. She has turned out to be our biggest extrovert and most fun little girl. Her kindergarten teacher adores her and she never gets in trouble. She is the best helper and such a people pleaser.
Another fun surprise we didn't expect with her is that she has turned into be quite the little athlete. She spent an hour trying to catch waves on the boogie board and actually did pretty great and she can has a better batting average than Ashton. She loves sports and can hit the ball we pitch about 80% of the time. It's impressive. She's obsessed with building muscles and getting strong. Once Ashton even asked her, "Would you rather have big muscles or go to Heaven?" she was so devastated by the question because she couldn't choose that she just yelled at him, "I can have both!!" She's going to be the girliest little sports girl ever.
My other favorite thing about her is she is the most complimentary little person. She's super articulate so she is always telling me what she thinks about everything. She is not afraid to express the positive about ever little thing that crosses her mind.
 
 The week before I turned 30. I wasn't really too concerned about the decade jump so David asked me if we could do anything what did I want... I took full advantage and asked him to take me to the beach. So he did!
We had two days and perfect weather.
Ashton dug holes for days.
David buried all the kids in the sand so in turn they helped bury him. He got really nervous when Mallie stood over his face and some saliva escaped. It was hilarious!
So the thing about the Texas gulf is that the water is green. Not pretty to look at but always super warm!
 Oh my goodness these two girls lately have been bosom buddies. They love each other and have the funniest conversations.
 I love this guy. I don't care if something is a surprise or not so I love that he knew to ask me what I wanted and then he made it happen. He then let me go out on the boogie board by myself and catch waves for 40 minutes and it was heaven.
 On our way home from the beach we stopped at Chili's so I could call the molten chocolate lava cake my official birthday cake. I never smile with my mouth closed but I was just positive that I had chocolate cake all over my braces. Scotty is my favorite in this picture.
So here's to year 6 and 30 both of which I'm sure will be awesome!
