Birthday Fun

New ruby red helmet and real riding boots for her birthday
Riding a ride at Chuck E. Cheese
Birthday Cupcakes, cool huh?!
Birthday Friends



Francesca celebrated her birthday for 2 days.  First on her "real" birthday (the 19th) and then on the 20th.  She chose Chuck E. Cheese for her birthday restaurant, and she had a party with a few friends and her sisters at the stable where she rides.  It was chilly this morning, though.  20 degrees outside so we were at the stable for a little bit, then back to our house for hot chocolate & cake.  Oh what fun we had!

Our Little Lady is 8


Happy Birthday to our dear Francesca!  She's turned 8.  She's in 2nd grade & her passion in life at 8 is horse back riding and her goal for this next year is to compete in races at the Carver County State Fair.   She is a very conscientious gal, and when she sets her mind to something, it gets done.  She does not back down & I admire so admire this.   She's a great student, and this year she started brownies.  If you ask her what she wants to be when she grows up she'll tell you she wants to be a country singer & she wants to own a farm so she can raise horses and dogs.  Sounds like a good life to me!

We did just find out that our little lady has to have her adnoids taken out in 2 weeks.  I wanted to get them checked, because she breathes through her mouth when she sleeps & she's been congested for nearly 3 months.  So my suspicions were correct & she needs them taken out.  Her dr. said she almost exclusively breathes through her mouth, because her adnoids are so enlarged; they are blocking her nasal passages.  She's very petite & a very picky eater, so I'm hoping when the adnoids come out, she'll become a better eater & sleeper. Other than that, 8 is starting out great!
