The other day Rose turned to me and in her most seriously sad voice told me “I can’t whistle or snap!” Her older sister can whistle and snap so she really wants to learn.

She is learning how to skip right now and it is the cutest little skip you’ve ever seen.

And My big 4 year old already knows how to pump on the swing!! I love looking out my kitchen window and seeing her and Cali swinging away on the neighbors play set.

Rose Loves CURLERS in her hair! 🙂 loves to be cute. Where’ dresses or skirts ALWAYS. changes outfits to be cute…

Rose usually asks what chores she can help me with in the mornings! She is the oldest one home in the mornings so she steps up and helps me with the babies and the chores.

Rose is still a little shorty. She shares a queen bed with Cali. She usually tags along with all of the Cali age girls in the neighborhood and does just fine. Her favorite show right now is Frozen and Tangled and Sofia the First.

Rose had a BIRTHDAY! It’s so fun to celebrate these kids. Rosie has been WAITING soo long and now she is 4! She was so excited she literally couldn’t sleep! She came in my room twice in the 3am ish hours and then when I woke up at 7 she was snuggling on my floor waiting for morning 🙂

She opened presents first thing in the morning! and then played with presents all day. She got a Princess Anna dress and the Anna, Elsa and Olaf mini figures. She got Frozen Spot It and frozen book and frozen coloring book. She also got a La La Loopsy and Elsa Snow Queen Gloves! YES she is in love with Frozen and didn’t have anything Frozen so she was over due 🙂 Rose is a very quiet present opener. It’s almost like she is hesitant to see what is inside. A few times she got the giddy excited body shakes but mostly she would open a present and then wait for the next. If I didn’t know better I’d think she maybe didn’t like the gift but then she spent the entire day in her dress acting out Frozen, coloring and playing Spot it and introducing Elsa and Anna to her other princesses. She repeated the play process again today, just how we pictured it when we bought the gifts 🙂

We had a busy evening with scouts and soccer but we finished the night with a beans and rice dinner that Rose chose and then some cupcakes and ice cream. Rose tried not to talk while eating her cake but her siblings were relentless in trying to make her. She thought that she could talk in between bites as long as she didn’t have cake in her mouth 🙂 and we let her off the hook when the tears started coming. Grandma and Grandpa Nettesheim came over right before bed time and Rose got to open a present from them!

On Thursday we worked on the cake. It was a bit of work but that’s mostly because I’m not good at Fondant. Rose really liked the cake and made it worth the effort to see her smiling face 🙂

She got her present from Grandma and Grandpa Robertson in the mail that day and then Friday evening she had a bunch of the cousins over for a birthday party! She was EXCITED for her party. She really wanted to play Duck duck goose and doggie doggie where’s your bone. Next they had a little dance party and Then Ben did a fun Disney movie game where he would play the beginning of a song and the kids had to run and find the picture of the right movie and see who could guess the movie the fastest. It was a hit for all ages. Rose loved opening a few more presents and then we ate cake and watched a movie and had a sleep over with Matt and Jamie’s girls.

Rose is obsessed with the neighbors trampoline. She just loves to jump. She has been asking if she can go jump at 8am right after she wakes up! Our neighbors said they can jump whenever they want and Rose has seriously been over there every day. I love trampolines. I wish my husband did so that we could have one. I did go over there with Raymond the other day so that he could try jumping and I did do a back flip just to make sure that I still could 🙂

Rose is also obsessed with our neighbor Kyler. He is 4 and they have loved playing together. I asked them if I could take a picture of them before they went and jumped on the trampoline. They said yes and then Kyler told me that they would probably get married some day and Rose said ya, probably when she is a mom 🙂 I’m sure their big sisters and lots of princess movies have helped them come to these conclusions. For now they are just SOO CUTE.

Ellie and Jamie invited Rosie to go to story time with them this year. It is every Tuesday at the same time that Cali goes to school. Rose really looks forward to this time. She enjoys story time and making crafts. She loves being a big girl and playing with Ellie. We are lucky to live by family, cousins make everything more fun.
