Callie's 7th Birthday!

I cannot believe Callie is 7 years old. It's really just crazy to me! It doesn't seem like it was that long ago she was a tiny baby just like Skylar. But here it is, 7 years later!

Callie apparently decided that I needed a good challenge for her seventh birthday. She asked me to do a "Forest Friends" theme. Forest friends?? I guess at least the fox has been popular lately. But seriously, it was not an easy theme to find anything for!


Here's our table decor. Fortunately, I did not have to buy a whole lot to pull this together! 


Table with the chalkboard in the background. I made the butterflies out of tissue paper.






Our games and craft. Games were Forest Friends Bingo and Musical Mushrooms (musical chairs with mushroom caps instead of chairs). Our craft was a fox face on a paper plate.


Callie was really impressed with my artwork . . . I'm sure no one else is! lol


Dessert table decor



Our awesome bakery pulled off such cute and delicious cupcakes once again that go perfectly with the theme!


The birthday girl in one of her birthday presents, which she says is her new favorite sweater.

We had 16 of Callie's friends from church and school. We were so happy that her friends got to come over and have a special time with her. Thanks everyone! 

We're going to have our "extended family" party this next Sunday. It got delayed due to lousy weather conditions on Sunday, so I'll have more pictures to add next week! 

Hope you enjoyed our update! God bless you and yours this week!

Sunday Morning

Yesterday, Callie came into my room while I was finishing up getting ready for church by putting on my jewelry. Callie: Mommy, you're very pretty. Me: Callie, that's very sweet. Thank you! Callie: You're welcome. Daddy's pretty too! Me: Oh Callie, you need to go tell him that . . . :)

Meanwhile, back at the Farm . . .

We're having some exciting happenings around the Booker Farm so I thought I'd write a little bit about what's going on with the kiddos. Callie Callie is so excited that we now have two dogs and three cats. Their names are (dogs) Belle and Ariel, (cats) Duchess, Dixie, and Thomas O'Malley -- Tom for short. She is very excited to be wrapping up another school year and looking forward to our travels this summer. She is taking on more responsibility around the house (which I love) and doing an excellent job for the most part in taking care of all the animals. I'm certainly enjoying watching her grow and blossom in so many ways, but this is especially significant to me. Philip and I are really striving to raise our children to be responsible, caring, and kind adults! I'm now teaching her on Wednesday Night Bible Class and I love observing her for the first time in a classroom setting as her teacher as well. She is a delight to have in class, if I may s...

Sometimes it's hard . . .

I feel like I've finally awoken from a long, chaotic dream. The past couple of weeks have gone so much more smoothly. The first 3 (or so) months with a new baby just throws my world upside down and inside out. While I'm in it, I find it hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel --  that time when we all adapt to each other and find our new routine. I'm not saying I don't love it, because I do. I just don't love all of it! So I'll do a quick little catch up, write Nolan's birth story in another post and we'll be back on track. For a little bit at least. I think I've said before that I love writing. I mean love it. But for some reason, I've never been good at keeping a journal. I really want to. There are so many moments I want to make sure I write down and remember and I want to be good at keeping track of everything. But over and over again I prove it's just not something that I'm consistent with. It irritates me to the point th...
