9 is super fine

Rachel turned 9 this past Labor Day. I can't believe it, how did she get so old?
We had a family Labor Day/birthday gathering over the weekend and then had some time on her actual birthday, thanks to the holiday, with just us. It was so great for Hubs to be home on her birthday too!
Birthday breakfast.


Fab effex, she was very excited about this. It's moldable fabric.

How about some mini-golf for the birthday girl?


Emma was interested until about halfway through the course.

Well, that's one way to get the ball there...

Then she was more interested in this.

And this.

Until we got to hole 13. The longest mini-golf hole in the world. Rachel wanted to express her shock and astonishment of this fact which she demonstrated perfectly in this picture. :)

Mama and her first born. Love her cheeks! :)


We had a great day together and then geared up for her first day of school the next day. Next post coming soon!
