6.11.15: SIX

The most fantastic children in the world! It has been an amazing six years and we look forward to watching these little ladies grow up. We love you girls - more than you can ever imagine.

Stella at exactly 6 years old (7:39am)

This year the girls had their birthday party at a gymnastics studio. They were able to climb through a giant obstacle course, swing from ropes, jump in a giant foam pit and bounce in a jumpy house. Add friends, pizza, and cupcakes to that and we had some very happy (yet exhausted) girls.

It seems as though front toothless time is coming to an end for Fiona and Stella as their front teeth are starting to poke through. I decided it was important to capture these toothless grins one last time.

Stella, Fiona, and Daphne enjoying the view from Mt. Lemmon while escaping the heat. We went for a lovely hike around the summit, had a picnic and played outdoor games.

5.28.15: No more front teeth

It's official - no one in our house under six has front teeth.

Information about our tooth fairy:

Her name is Olive Starglimmer. She leaves a dollar bill for each tooth and usually a chocolate coin. The girls often leave her notes and she usually responds to their questions. She does not respond to requests for additional chocolate or money regardless of how hard they try :)

5.23.15: Goodbye murals

In preparation for putting our house on the market, the girls agreed to paint over their wall murals. The murals were painted when the girls were three and designed completely by the girls. They were thrilled to get to paint on their walls but a little bored by the solid color wall when we were done.

5.18.15: Nana and Daddy visiting school

With a summer birthday, the girls were able to celebrate early with their kindergarten class. Nana and Daddy brought cupcakes to school and Nana got to read a book to the class.

5.15.15: Water Day

A final celebration at school before graduating from kindergarten included a day full of outdoor activities, games and of course getting the teachers wet. Oddly, it was a rather cold day, but the kids didn't seem to mind.

5.10.15: Ostrich Farm

We have wanted to visit the Ostrich Farm for years and just never made the trek. Today we adventured to feed deer, goats, ostrich and lorikeets. Once Brant and I got over the worry of losing digits, we all had a great time. There was even a monster truck ride that went all over the desert - and I (stupidly) sat at the back of the truck - lesson learned.
