Labor day 2015

We got to go check out the Benton’s newly refinished pool.

The new slide is fantastic.DSC00787

V did great in the pool this time. YEA! And Monkey girl was SUPER mad at me for having left her with her new parents for the weekend. It took her a long time to be happy with me. 🙁DSC00788

Jon and R didn’t get in the pool. R enjoyed land play and toys. We had fun with family so that’s a win. 🙂DSC00798 MOV00793 MOV00803

V’s 5th birthday party

V wanted The Little Mermaid for her party theme. 🙂  Last year she would hardly talk to me about what kind of party she wanted. I was super happy to be able to throw a party for her. Her new family came and that was awesome!IMG_9455 IMG_9458 IMG_9460 IMG_9462 IMG_9465 IMG_9508

This kid was swimming in gifts. See what I did there? 😉IMG_9523

She was pretty excited to be the first one to hit he pinata.IMG_9547 IMG_9553

After the pinata we packed up kids for their first weekend at their new house.IMG_9558

Cousins stayed to play which was so nice.IMG_9564 IMG_9567 IMG_9572

Rebekah was raking me up.IMG_9573 IMG_9576The kiddos all played outside. I’m loving the cafe lights on the play place.

Day 365 and V’s turns 5!

To celebrate surviving a whole yer as a foster family AND V birthday we biked the kiddos over to sonic for dessert.

It’s been the longest and fasted year ever. It’s crazy to think that Monkey girl was only 4 weeks old, R was a scared angry 14 month old, and V was a lost little 4 year old. They have all grown SO SO much.

We are sure going to miss them when they move to their new family.
