Sage turns 3!!!

We cannot believe Sage turned 3 years old last Sunday!! I can’t believe it was 3 years ago we had her little tiny self in our arms!
I LOVE Sage’s birthday- more than my own! Her and Evan’s birthday mean the most to me- it was the day our amazing children became what we would live for!!
What was SOO fun about this year for Sage is that she REALLY understood what a  birthday was- and that it was her birthday and she was turning 3. We started talking about it a few days leading up to it. We would ask her if she wanted an ‘Elsa Birthday’ or a ‘Minnie Birthday’ (thanks to all of my family in town who celebrated Sage and gave her all presents FORZEN!!), she naturally chose an Elsa Birthday. And she would get soo excited for it every time she put her Elsa dress on. We would talk about her birthday by telling her all her friends that were going to be there – she was so excited and listed her friends off to us (too cute!!)
When the day arrived, we would sing to her all day long, letting her know about her big party and all the presents she’ll get to open. She always had a big smile on her face!

























We had such a fun party- and I thought the theme was a lot of fun. I actually did a whole theme and lots of décor. Brad even made a blue cake with purple icing (delicious!). Sage loved it!! She opened the door to our first guests (the Bales family!) and said “Hi, it’s my bifday!!”
She was so excited for her cake and was beaming with pure happiness when we sang to her (versus last year when she cried!) and she had fun blowing out her candles.
It’s going to be so fun when Evan starts realizing what his birthday means too!
We appreciate and thank everyone who made an effort to come to the party and Sage loved talking to Popi and Gangy on the phone- telling them “it’s my Elsa Birthday”.


So, Happy 3rd Birthday to our adorable, silly, beautiful, funny little Elsa princess! You are our world- and we love you so very much! Excited for next year  (funny, when you become a parent, how much more excited you are about your kids birthday, than your own!) I’m hoping to do a Minnie Mouse party next year J

The Casey Family and Celebrations

We had a wonderful visit with all of my family a few weekends ago!
We were all able to get a weekend together this summer to celebrate Brad’s birthday, Sage’s birthday, my Mom’s birthday and Travis and Tracey’s 6th Year Anniversary!
We had fun hanging around the house eating good food and playing with the kiddos! We also had a fun trip to the Zoo!

Thank you to Gangy, Popi, Aunt Tracey, Uncle Travis and cousin Harper for spoiling Sage for her birthday with all things FROZEN!! You had inspired her to have an “Elsa Party”!!





















And Happy Birthday to my wonderful Husband! You are such a genuine and loyal man. I’m so lucky to have you be all mine. You deserve all the love in this world and I’m so happy that I and our children are the people that can give that to you.

We had a wonderful date night to celebrate him!!

Olaf and Sage!

Sage is getting very excited for her birthday! We keep telling her that her birthday is coming up and she will drop her jaw with an excited expression! And then starts signing Happy Birthday. We asked her if she wanted a Minnie Birthday or an Elsa Birthday- and she sings "Ellllssssssssssssaaaa.....let it gooooooo......let it gooooooo" as she twirls around the room!
Just too cute!
Mandie helped her create her very own Olaf!!

Giving him kisses
She insisted laying down to go "night time" with Olaf and his "friends" which happen to be snowmen on the blanket. Love her imagination!!

Sage and Popi!

Sage absolutely loves her Popi! We are so happy he came to visit and cannot WAIT to see him again.
It was so easy to capture these pictures of the two of them! Makes my heart smile to see that bond :) Reminds me of mine with my Papa!
