Four!

 Sager is FOUR! That seems so old. She had been talking about her birthday party since going to Claire's back in August. This year she wanted a rainbow party, so that's what she got.

 Grandma made her a special rainbow birthday shirt.

 Drew helped her color rainbows before her guests arrived. 

 We covered the counters in a rainbow of fruits and veggies...

 and, of course, rainbow desserts.

 She was spoiled with lots of presents and blew out her rainbow cake...

 before painting pumpkins with loads of colors.

On Sunday, Ross took her on a Daddy-Daughter date to the zoo for Night Eyes.

 Did I mention that she loves rainbows?

It was a weekend that I think she will remember for a long time. :) 

We are so proud of our little four-year-old.

Honey Creek Resort

Last weekend Ross planned a family trip to Honey Creek Resort by Lake Rathbun. We've been wanting to go for awhile now, but have always had something get in the way. I'd highly recommend going. We spent a lot of our time in the indoor water park. We also took a few hikes around the park with the kids and went on a bike ride. The rainy Saturday was perfect for our three hour family nap and pizza in our hotel room, watching the Iowa game.  The nearby playground was well-used by the kids.  It was a much-needed relaxing weekend and we look forward to going back.

No Means Yes

This is what it's like trying to communicate with an almost-two-year-old. This also happens to be his biting, hitting, crying, screaming, tantrum phase. He had a stand-off with us at Costco tonight, but we won in the end. One point Ross and Amber, zero points Drew.  Bubba is going to be a handful this next year!

But he's also really cute!
