Toddler Girl Dance, Cheer, and Athletic Wear
Roan is the busiest person in our household right now! She has dance, cheer, gymnastics, and the occasional twirling lesson.

Please also enjoy these pictures of her over the past year and a half. I love seeing how much she has grown! cheekplum.com sweethoneyclothing.com

A Birthday Fate: Roan’s Merida Birthday Party
Cake: Elizabeth SKelton Cookies: Mammaw’s Sweet Shoope Sign: The Sign Queen Roan started asking for a Merida (from Disney’s Brave) party sooooo long ago.

Mitten Memories: Fall Break Dump 2023
We had the best little getaway in Michigan last week. Lake had the honor of being the ring bearer in Keegan and Sabrina’s wedding. He did SUCH a good job and was sooooooo excited to wear his tux. Roan and Lake both danced the night away at the reception! We got to Petoskey a little early, so we ventured out to a light house and Lake was very interested in learning about buoys.

Momma and Me Matching Style

The restaurant is a replica of a classic 50’s home, complete with Formica countertops, milkshakes, and your cousin or uncle serving as your waiter or waitress. Your server will instruct you to keep your elbows off the table and you’ll enjoy comfort food while watching 50’s clips on the black and white tv’s. I thought it would be fun to pay homage to our traditional food stop at the most magical place on earth (and to us) but with our own spin on it, so Roan’s second birthday party theme was “Roan’s Prime Time…
