5? No she can't be.....

That's right my girl is 5 now. WOW time really does go by fast. I can still remember being pregnant w/ her & her long (but worth it) delivery. I was 9 days late w/ this lil' monkey, and each day after my "due" date the more mean I became.....but as soon as I saw her face, I couldn't believe how fast I became in love and in awe of someone. God's blessing was (and still is) so beautiful. I have tried to remember things about her each yr that reminds me of that age and I would write it down in her baby book. So I thought I'd share share 1 word from each yr that really describes that yr.

Happy Birthday to my big girl. Love ya Alexa w/ all my heart.

This yr Alexa will be starting Kindergarden (@ home) and is really excited to start. She is really getting into art and is really smart. She is still taller than most her friends and weighs about 42 lbs. She moves at a fast past and loves playing dress up w/ her friends and being princess'. She still has her who she wants to marry in mind. She's a true blessing......and I thank God for her daily.

Just wanted to end this w/ a quote I heard and seems so true as I look back
The days are long but the yrs are short.......enjoy each day you have w/ your lil' ones, they grow up fast.

Hangin w/ our BF's again

That's right Danielle, the kids and I went to Holyoke childrens place. This place is def becoming one of my favorites. Any place you can let your kids run free and crazy and know they are safe is a good place in by book. So anyway we had lots of fun (like always). The first couple pictures are in blk/wt thanks to not checking my camera before taking pics and the last time I used it was when I was playing around w/ Alex as you saw in my last post.

Making a paper mache flower

greatest bubble maker

Elevator ride

Outside the museum is a indoor carousel that the kids love, so of course we had to stop by on our way out.

The following week we went to Forest park. I love this place the kids can run, feed ducks and there's a playground. Oh I also can find 1000 things to take pics of, always a plus.

the ducks are crazy this yr. they were fighting for food and taking it right out of the kids hands, kinda scary but kinda cool too.

Hurry Addison, catch up......

"Look a spider web"

And of course the kids had to find stuff to jump off of, except charlie, my lil' chicken.

All in all a great time. We also had a picnic at the park which was very nice too.

Black and White

For those who may not know when the Wirth girls get bored we play a game called 'hmm lets take pictures, so mommy can learn something new on her camera' Charlie wasn't really in the mood on this day. Alexa on the other hand was already all dressed up in one of my long skirts and feeling like a 'princess' and since she's so beautiful I couldn't help but take pictures of her. I don't really know much about blk/wt pictures so I read some and then took a couple of pics. These were the best ones.

I even pulled out my fisheye lens.

This one just plain cracks me up.....sorry if it scared you lol.
