I'm 5

Whoa, where does the time go? I can't believe Skylar is 5 and will be in Kindergarten in the fall. It seems like yesterday I was holding a brand new baby in my arms and just starring at her. I remember praying she would stay that small and sweet forever. Of course I am happy she is happy and healthy and I love watching each new stage as she learns and grows and becomes more and more independent. But the small ache in my heart is always there, knowing there will be a day she doesn't need me (though I still need my mom) and knowing that one day she will move out to be on her own.

Enough of those sad thoughts though. We celebrated in style. Kristin and I brought Skylar and Laney to see Princess on Ice. It was magical and such a fun girls day. We did their hair and make-up. They wore princess costumes and we sat on the floor in the 4th row. I am not  sure who enjoyed the show more, It was amazing! We also had lunch before the show and met the boys for dinner afterward at Gringos. Since that happened a few weeks before Skylar's actual birthday, celebrated all over again on the actual day. Skylar requested a princess cookie cake and HEB surprised me by making a beautiful one for $7.99 - can't beat that! She brought it to school and shared it with all her friends. Her daddy even dropped by for lunch at school that day! Later that night, we had dinner at Skylar's favorite restaurant, 5 Guys, and then had Cherry Berry for dessert. It was a great day!
