Dress Ups

Dress ups are part of my girls everyday wardrobe. Just thought you'd like a sneak peek at a favorite from last month.

If you need a smile . . .

Decorating the Tree

The kids LOVED decorating the tree for Christmas. We sang Christmas carols, told stories, and just enjoyed being with one another. Those of you that know us best will laugh at Natalie's picture (hey at least she has a shirt on).

Happy Birthday Natalie!

Happy Birthday Natalie! Natalie had a great birthday! She woke up early to open her presents and loved every minute of it. Then we all played Pollys, princesses, dress up and Barbies for the remainder of the day. It was a perfect day for our darling little girl. Natalie is truly a joy in all of our lives. She can light up a room, and melt all our hearts at the same time. We love you!

Preston's a Cub Scout

Preston was so excited for his first day of scouts. He passed off a whole section before even going. He takes his book to school with him most days so he can read it if he has a spare moment. He's determined to pass his "Wolves" before summer, so he can spend the summer working on belt loop achievements. I think he looks quite handsome in his scout uniform!

Happy Birthday Preston!!

Preston's 8th birthday was a very special day, week, month...! We had a family party on his actual birthday. We went to Carls Jr. for dinner and then to Nickelcade. Nickelcade is set up a little like Chuckee Cheese but better. All the kids had fun. Then we had cake and ice cream at home and opened presents. Later that same week he had a "friends" birthday party. It was a movie/pizza night. It was a crazy and fun night (he invited 10 boys)! Then of course later the next month he had his real birthday gift and was baptized. I'll do a separate post for that. This was a very exciting time for Preston as well as Brandon and I. Preston is such a good boy! He trys so hard to do what's right, is a good friend to everyone and has an excitement for life that is contagious. We love you Preston.

1st Snow Day

Here are some pictures of the kids on first day it snowed this season. Yes... it was over a month ago; I'm a little slow. Better late than never though, right. The kids love playing in the snow together. As you can see in the pictures there isn't ever too little snow to build a snowman.
