6 Years Old, Really

My little girl turns 6 years old today.
6 years old, really??
It is so bittersweet as always, this year has been so much fun with her birthday, last night I got out her baby album & we went through all the pictures & talked about the day she was born, she had so many questions, it was so incredible to be able to do that with her. However on the other side she is not my baby anymore, actually she isn't even my toddler anymore, she is a.big.girl.
This little girl has been such an amazing blessing to our family.
She has her Daddy wrapped right around her finger, okay, maybe me too :)
She is the most thoughtful, loving, caring sensitive girl.
She is an amazing daughter & friend.
She is also the best big sister theses little boys could have.
Alexee Lynn at 5:43pm on July 16th 2003 you were born & here we are 6 years later feeling luckier than ever that you are ours :)
We love you little girl, to the moon and back.
Happy Birthday Princess!!!!

California~Part 2

Finally, right :)
So California day 2 we went & got a yummy breakfast & took it down to the beach, so the kids could collect seashells.
It was our little Carter's 1st beach trip & he loved running in the sand, we had to take turns eating & chasing because he would RUN straight for the ocean :)

Then off to Legoland we went!!
1st stop, Face Painting.........

They were so excited to have their faces painted!!!
Then we hit the rides.
They raced cars.....

Rode in trains.......

Flew in helicopters.......

Met all the characters.....

Flirted with the princess....

They even stopped & posed for Mommy a little........





We did almost everything Legoland had to offer for their heights. Braiden was once again bummed because he wasn't tall enough to do all he wanted.
Poor Feller.
Alexee even climbed the rock wall....

We had a fun fun busy busy day & we still had to drive ALL THE WAY HOME, so we hit the road, grabbed some grub at In & Out, & the kids snoozed the whole way home.
