Two Peas in A Pod

This is how I found Isabella and Sofia the other morning in my bed sleeping! Most every night at some point one or both of them end up in our bed. They are so cute with their little bums and their pull-ups!

Isabella's Princess Party

Isabella had a surprise guest arrive at her Princess Party. Sleeping Beauty came especially for her. She did face paintings, magic tricks, treasure hunts, and singing and dancing! Needless to say she was a hit and Isabella had a wonderful time with her family and friends!Isabella and Sleeping Beauty

Peter Pan

Today while driving in the car Isabella (who just turned five) said this to me.

Isabella: Mom you know Peter Pan?
Me: Yes what about him?
Isabella: He's really cute!
Me: (trying not to laugh) oh really, why?
Isabella: He's funny and he's just really really cute mom. I dream about him all the time! Saylor (her six year old cousin) she thinks he's really cute too!

I thought that was so funny! Who would have thought my daughters first crush would be on Peter Pan! You know all the ladies want him: tinkerbell, the mermaids, and now Isabella & Saylor :)

Happy Birthday Isabella

Five years ago today, after almost 24 hours of labor, our first beautiful baby girl was born! Isabella Evelyn Stosich weighed 8 1/2 lbs and 20 inches long. We thought she was so beautiful and couldn't believe how blessed we were! Today you have grown into a beautiful little girl with so much personality. We love having you as a daughter and thank Heavenly Father everyday for blessing us with your sweet spirit in our home! I can't believe your 5 already! That's a big milestone as a parent and it almost saddens me. I tell you often I don't want you to get big and you just laugh at me and say "Mom I can't wait to get bigger!" But you know you will always be our baby no matter how big you get! Your little sisters love you too because you watch out for them and play with them! Your a great Big Sister! You are truly a princess in every sense of the word! We love you Isabella and hope you enjoy your fun day today! Happy Birthday Sweetheart! Love, Mommy, Daddy, Sofia, and Ava

A Month Of Firsts

I need to catch up a bit with some important firsts for our family. Within the last month in a half: I flew to and from Georgia by myself with all 3 girls. Hartman re-finished my parents antique furniture that was given to us and Sofia moved from a toddler bed to a big girls bed. She was pretty excited. Sofia was also potty trained (finally), Isabella started her first year of pre-school and loves her Ms. Mandi and Ms. Nanette, Sofia started a 3 year old co-op pre-school where 6 of us parents teach every 6 weeks at our house, Ava learned to raise her hand, the girls learned to drive a 4 wheeler while in Georgia, Ava got her first haircut by Grandma Anne, Hartman had to say goodbye to his girls for almost 4 weeks (the longest we've all been apart), and Ava went to nursery! Needless to say since August we've been really busy and alot's been going on with our family! This was for sure the short version of it all, but wanted to get it on the blog for my own personal journaling! We are excited for the fall and what I'm sure will bring many more milestones!

Sofia & Bella's First Week of School

My first week teaching Sofia's Preschool. It went really well!

While teaching the kids to raise their hand, Ava joined right in! How cute!

Four hours to and from Atlanta with the three kids on the plane was not my favorite thing in the world to do. Luckily I drug them them an hour before take-off :)!

The girls were proud of their beds & especially Sofia who graduated from her toddler bed!

Sofia was so proud she was going to the potty! She learned at Grandma Anne's house while in Ga. so of course we had to send many potty pictures to daddy in Las Vegas!

Isabella's first day of school in her "Smarty Pants" clothes going to "Smarty Pants" Pre-school she was so proud!

Riding their tractor in Uncle Thomas' backyard for hours! They weren't afraid to run you over if you were in the way!

Look how cute my bangs are! So proud!

Saying goodbye to Daddy for almost 4 weeks was so sad! We missed him so much!

Grandma Anne cutting Ava's hair for the first time!

Ava's First Day of Nursery! We were all so HAPPY!

Every Princess Deserves a Book of Her Own

For Isabella's Birthday this week I published her very own Princess Book. I'm so excited to give it to her! I'm sure she'll love it! It looks like I spent a lot of time, but I just used a template and added my own pictures and some text! I think it's so cute! She really is my little Princess!
