Caroline is 4!!

 It's hard to believe this girl is 4. I remember driving to the hospital ready to deliver her like it was yesterday.  I can even remember our conversation and exact feeling of nervousness yet excitement. We had her birthday party on Saturday, she could not wait!! She kept asking, "How many sleeps until my birthday?"  Her birthday was similar to last year, a splash party with water toys and the bounce house.



 Paige and Zach let us borrow the big slide....it was definitely the thrill of the party.
 Caroline was convinced she needed her goggles.

 Papa Mike made water balloons, of course the kids loved them!





 Caroline joined in the singing of happy birthday. She enjoyed her moment in the spot light!
 Opening gifts, Jackson was so funny with his commentary of everything we opened. Thanks to everyone who came and made her birthday special!  
This is Caroline on Sunday, her actual birthday,  all dressed up for church and looking so big.  For her actual big day we ate at On the Border, or the tortilla store, as she calls it and then went to Six Flags that evening. A rain storm scared most people off so we had the park to ourselves. Most rides we rode back to back because no one was there to get on.
Caroline has absolutely captured our hearts in the past four years. Now she is so much fun, no longer a baby and becoming such a big girl. I love our conversations, she cracks me up all the time. She is energetic, happy, loving, empathetic, kind, strong willed, stubborn, and funny all wrapped up!  I'm excited to see the young lady she grows into, I know God has big plans for her big personality. We love her so much!

I can't believe our girls are 4 either! Looks like a fun party! And that is so funny about Caroline saying "how many sleeps." That is exactly what Kynli says about wanting to know when something will happen and that is how we "tell time" around here too!!
