New Outfit!

Sarah G. was in town a few weeks ago for a conference and we got to have a fun girls night out to see her!   So good to see her!   She brought this cute outfit for Quinn.  Quinn was very serious that afternoon and wouldn't smile for me.

Soccer

Sage played soccer for the first time.  She said she liked it but she likes dance better.  Because in dance you get to wear sparkly costumes.  She was pretty timid out on the field.  She scored one goal this season.  At this age the coach is out on the field with them and it was usually 4 vs 4, and they don't keep score.  She did have fun and that was the goal!   Reese was the Assistant Coach for her team.  I am not sure if he had as much fun as Sage did!   On the last day of games they all got a trophy.  I don't remember always getting a trophy - but now they do.  She said her favorite part of soccer was getting her trophy and the badges they handed out each week. 

 This was pretty much how it was most of the season.  Kind of close to the action but not that close.   

 Getting her trophy

Her whole team!

Bears

We went to the zoo a few weeks ago and stopped to check out the bears.  The zoo now has two bears and they were moving all over the exhibit.  Sage took a seat right by the glass to watch them. 

How cute is she?

Month by Month 1 - 5

To be honest I haven't really compared the girls baby pictures.  Been busy!   But I thought it would be fun to look at the girls at each month so here are the first 5 months!  What do you think - do they look alike?

Memorial Day

We had a good Memorial weekend - lots of family time.  We were able to go out to dinner with Kelly and Jason who were in town visiting.  So good to see them.  Then on Monday Sage and I went to the store and bought some flowers.  Then as a family we all went to our local WWII Memorial Park.  Sage put the flowers at the base of the statue.  Somebody else had left flowers and she wanted to put hers right next to them.  We tired to explain the importance of Memorial day to her and I think she got it.  She knew we were putting the flowers there in remembrance of all the soldiers that have given the ulitmate sacrifice.  

First Day vs. Last Day

Look how big our girl has gotten this year!  These pictures are from the first day and last day of school.  Sage looks so big to me!  Love this girl so much!

Last Day of School Celebration

Sage was so excited for her last day of school - a little bit more excited than this Momma!   I will miss my few hours break with just Quinn.  But it will be nice to have Sage around all the time again.  She had so much fun at school this year and has changed lots during this year.  Sage's class put on a little program for us on the last day.  They sang us some songs and each student got a certificate.  Then cookies and lemonade were served to end the celebration. 

How did she get so big!

Miss Pam, Sage, and Miss Heather - 

we both really liked her teachers.

 

A celebration at Orange Leaf for a great school year!

Sippy Cup

I got out a sippy cup for Quinn to try a few weeks ago and she loved it!   I think she liked it more for the fact that it helped her gums feel better instead of the water that was coming out. 

 Love this little cutie!

I think she was trying to look at Sage across the table. 

Indoor Playground

We went to a new indoor playground and Sage loved it!   It is at a church and it is free to the public.  It was about 30 minutes from our house.  The place was huge!   Sage had so much fun running around and exploring.  I loved how nice it was but didn't like that the kids could basically disappear into the play structure.   I see lots of visits to this playground for us!
