Sophie is 6!!!

I can NOT believe she is already 6. She is such a blessing in our family. She really is a good kid and has been an easy kid for us. She is a funny kid as well.
All she wanted for her birthday was new bedding and a barbie razor scooter. I had the hardest time finding the exact ones she wanted but worked my magic at the last minute.

For her party she wanted to go get makeovers with her girl cousins. We went to the local beauty school and then headed to the cutest little bistro and boutique in Highland called Dear Lizzie.
It was a hit!!!

Here we go...

We are leaving for California to do our first triathlon in the morning. I still can't figure out what I was thinking when I said I would do this. Heaven help me.
I have trained a TON, but poor Sam is so busy with school he has no time to train. He will still kill me though. I just pray I finish with out crying or laying down in the street.
Life around here is hectic as usual. Sam is gone ALL.THE.TIME. Sophie had her last day of school today so we should calm down a little. We head to the gym for our work out everyday. I have been so blessed to be staying with Marc and Paige and can ditch kids while they are napping or playing so I don't have to haul them everytime. I am going to miss that sooooo much. Paige and I just trade off whenever we can and ditch kids at home. A little piece of heaven and has helped a ton with Sam being gone all the time.
We have really enjoyed being here. All the kids get along so well and we each have our own space to call our own. We are truly grateful to them for all their hospitality and to the girls for giving up their bachelor pad for awhile.
We are off in the morning. Wish us luck!!

TAAAADAAAAA!!!
