Ellie's Baptism

Our sweet Ellie turned 8 last week and she has made the decision to be baptized. We are very pleased with her decision and look forward to watching this sweet girl continue to grow and learn in the Gospel.

 I hope they call my on a Mission when I have grown a foot or two

Family Picture

I've been wanting a new family picture for quite some time but never could make the timing work with my amazing neighbor who is a great photographer. Well the stars alligned on Wed and we were able to do a quick session and we got a couple of fantastic pictures!! I love and adore my sweet family.

It's Great to be 8

Ellie turned 8 last week. It's hard to believe she has grown so fast I remember bringing her home for the very first time and the first time Dell held her. I love this sweet girl more than words can express and I'm grateful she chose me me to her Mommy. We went big this year and she got a real party with friends. This was no easy task a birthday close to the holidays means friends are usually spending time with family but we were blessed with a few friends and a good time.

 Yummy cake she helped make!

Ellie and her Best Friend 

1st day of school 2013!

I'm not sure how it's happened but my children are growing like weeds and time is flying. The school year started extra early this year and they were not to happy about starting school the middle of August, but now we're in the swing of things and they are happy as could be.

Colorado 2013

July took the kids and I to Colorado and we had fun. We rain and more rain, rainbow slide fun, parks, swimming, rainbows, and lots of family. Excuse the picture overload but we all know you'd rather see pictures than words.

There are still a few missing and I'll update them when I can get them to download.

Easter

We had a nice and quiet Easter here at home. The kids got Spring baskets with fun things to play with outside and a few pieces of candy. I tried getting pictures but they weren't very interested in it so I only got a few and they're not the greatest but they are all there and look cute!

FOUR!!!!

    We finished of Feb with yet another birthday, our sweet Mason turned 4. It amazes me how quickly time is passing and how fast they are growing into independent kids. Mason is such a sweet boy with the most amazing tender heart. He loves deeply and feels so badly when he hurts or upsets someone, he is quick to apologize with an I'm so sorry. Mason is a wonderful big/little brother he loves to snuggle up and give Zane big hugs. I also love that he's in the kiss will cure anything stage. I can blow a kiss or kiss a boo boo and he is all better.
    Mason had a wonderful birthday he got a call from Papa wishing him a Happy Birthday and he was so excited he then remembered it was Papa's birthday too so he wished him a happy birthday and told him all about what he was doing and what cake he was going to get and what he wanted to get for his birthday. He pooled his gift $ and bought himself a scooter and LOVES it. JD's new office is configured so it makes a circle and he took the scooter over to ride while I worked this week and he rode it round and round for days;) LEGO's are his other favorite at the moment and he got many.

  I love this sweet boy and I am so grateful I get to be his Mommy!!
