Happy Birthday Abigail!

It was Abbie's 6th Birthday. She is getting so big. She loves My Littlest Petshop. So, I whipped up a Panda Bear cake. (Phil helped too)! I love to make cakes. My mom used to run her own catering business so every once in a while I like to do it. She had a really great birthday.

My Christmas Picutres!!!

I know it's late but I had to post them for all to see. I have a lot to catch up on so bear with me. My sister Andrea and I wanted to take some Christmas Pictures. This is how they turned out. Her baby did not like the idea of being in a trunk so I don't have any of him.

Let's catch up a little.......

We had Emma's birthday a few months ago. She is such a big girl. She is so full of life.

Here are a few things about her.

Loves SHOES -loves to play with her brothers and sister - loves to make messes - treats - hates other girls (she is the only pretty girl. Huh Jaylee!?!) - Soft blankets - loves to dance - Oh, did I say loves SHOES?

She is such a blessing in our lives. We love her so much!!!

Does church do this to you?

Last year our church meetings started at 1:00 PM. Everyone who has children knows how bad that time is for little ones who take naps. Well this is what it did to our girls one Sunday. It was so funny because it only took about five minutes to get them in the house and give them a little snack. Abbie changed her clothes then they both passed out. We love these pictures.

My very own atempt to become a photographer!

Last Christmas Phil bought me my dream camera. I wanted one that was not too expensive but gave good quality pictures. Well, I took a lot of pictures and I wanted something more so this fall I took a photography class. It taught me a little more about my camera and what to look for. These pictures were part of my homework. The assignment was to take portraits. Since my children were perfect for the assignment this is how it turned out. I really love them. I wanted them all looking up at me but Emma was being very difficult.

Happy Birthday to Sam!

Sam is 7 years old!!! Wow, that is so weird to say. I can't believe that next year he will be baptized. He had a fun birthday. His grandparents from Idaho came down to celebrate the big day. They spoiled him! He finally got his Nintendo DS With 5 games. He was in GEEK heaven. Sam got a bunch of Star Wars action figures, remote controlled four wheeler, and a Star Wars pop-up book (It is very cool).
