And the birthday continues!

So after a fun packed Friday spent celebrating with her friends, Sage's official birthday was Saturday, May 15th. This was good timing since the week before she was telling me how much she "missed Santa" and was blasting Christmas music on the keyboard. Although Santa didn't make an appearance, her friends stocked her up on Friday with lots of fun new Barbies, bubbles, Littlest Pet Shops, etc. When we asked her what we could get her her response was a "pink girl fish". Obviously this stemmed from watching her brothers get fish for their birthdays which surprisingly are still alive. I knew I wanted to also take Sage to Toys"R"Us since I'm a sucker when it comes to coupons and I had Five Toys"R"Us bucks that were about to expire burning a hole in my pocket. After unsuccessfully walking down the aisles and her saying it wasn't her "favorite store anymore". We almost gave up. Seriously, what child can't find something they want at Toys"r" Us? Thankfully, we found a cute scooter. I don't know who was more thrilled, Sage over the fact it was pink and Barbie themed or me because between the sale price and my Toys"R"Us bucks, we got out the door with a lava lamp night light and a scooter for under $20!

Next up was a Starbucks frappachino and the long awaited trip to PetSmart. Luckily after searching through all the female beta fish in the store we found a white Beta fish that had a glimmer of pink in her tail. Sage was beside herself with excitement and I was happy to see that Sage's desire for a female fish paid off too since they were a couple bucks cheaper! :) Although I question why a female fish would be cheaper than a male one, I was happy with the $3 savings.

So here's London, the new addition to the family. Apparently we watch a bit too much of The Suite Life of Zach and Cody in our home...



And here are her new wheels. I was worried she wouldn't be coordinated enough to get the hang of a scooter but she surprised us and is quite good on it! If only these "wheels" would be good enough when she turns 16...



And finally we ended the day with pizza and cake!



I don't know what we'd do without our Sage. She brings so much happiness and joy to our family. Here are a few things that stand out most about our baby girl:

1. She's pretty much a girl version of Ty. Need I say more...
2. Her beautiful hair. We can't go far without someone commenting on what great hair she has. If only I knew what to do with it!
3. She loves things to be tidy and in their place. (Hmm, wonder where she got that!) It cracks me up to listen to her tell her friends that they can only play in her room "if they don't make a mess".
4. She loves food! Right now her favorite vegetable is asparagus. Her favorite breakfast is scrambled eggs, and her favorite dinner is pizza. She eats pretty much anything but has a particular fondness for anything sweet. And she LOVES bubblegum!!!
5. She loves to sing and dance around but don't think about singing with her. She's our soloist...
6. She still enjoys starting her morning drinking "milky" or "juicy" from her sippy cup while watching her favorite Disney Channel shows in my bed.
7. She adores her brothers and her daddy. She gets very upset if the boys head off to the bus stop without giving her a hug and kiss. Daddy is always greeted with a big hug and kiss as he walks in the door from work.
8. She loves to draw and paint pictures. They always include a picture of her with someone from the family (usually holding hands).
9. She's easy! Thankfully she's been an easy baby and toddler. I'm sure this means trouble for our future... :)
