Birthday Party with Mommy and Daddy…

IMG_0263We got home from Sharon’s, and Mallory was so proud of her balloon!  We asked Mallory a couple of days ago what she wanted to do on her birthday.  She said, “We have to go out to dinner and celebrate.”  We told her she could pick any place she wanted to go…

While we were getting ready for dinner, Mallory got a Happy Birthday phone call from Granny…

Then, we were ready for dinner, and Mallory wanted to go to…

        But, she got over it, because there is so much other stuff to do…

IMG_0336Mallory LOVED this pretend roller coaster…it would move, shake, and vibrate while you watch yourself on a roller coaster…

We had a fun time, and on the way home, Mallory said…

“This has been my best birthday ever!” 

       IMG_0398Time for presents!

IMG_0425Lastly, something that Mallory has been asking, really begging for…

 IMG_0426   Mariposa figures!

Mimi Moore gave Mallory the Mariposa movie and some other little figures a year or so ago, and Malory loves them!  Inside the movie is shows all the figures,and these were the 3 she did not have.  She has been asking for these for months.  We looked everywhere for them, but since the movie is so old, they are not out in stores.  But, SUPER DAD found them on ebay!!!

We love that you are so sweet and lovable; you love to cuddle, give kisses and hugs.  And, you always tell us you love us.  We love how you are so musical, singing and dancing all the time.  We laugh so hard when you sing and dance to the songs on the radio; you pick up the lyrics so quickly.  You are so sweet to everyone; you realize what makes people happy and sad, so you are careful what you say.  You are a good friend with a big heart.  We love the way you are so sweet to Daisy.  And, we love to watch and listen to you play by yourself.  You are so creative.  We love to teach you new things, and you love to learn new things.  You love to show us the things you can do, and you are so proud of yourself.  And, we are so proud of you!  You get so excited about the smallest things, and it is so cute!  Mommy loves that you like to play games together and cuddle and read books together.  We love that you are brave and a little dare devil on rides and things like that.    We love the way to wink at us; it is adorable!  Mommy loves how every morning when I leave for work, you tell me, “Tell your work I said hi and your kids I said hi, and be careful.”  Mommy and Daddy love when you tell us, “I love you all the way up to God and back down.”  Mallory, we love being your parents, and we are proud to be your parents!  Happy 4th birthday!

Tumbling Tots II

IMG_0230Mallory started her fall session of gymnastics tonight, Tumbling Tots II.  And, she looked super cute in her new leotard she got for her birthday!  She has taken Tiny Tykes, two sessions of Tumbling Tots I, and now Tumbling Tots II.  Mallory knows how to do a forward roll and a back bend…can’t wait to see what she learns over the next 8 weeks!

IMG_0232  Mallory is always so excited to get her stamp or sticker on her hand after a job well done in class!
