My Friend's Baby

My friend had her baby in February...  She is a doll!  I love holding her whenever we get together.  It makes me baby hungry :)

Katelyn's Birthday

Katelyn's favorite thing right now is dolphins and sea horses. She loves ocean creatures, draws them, reads about them, makes up stories about them, and talks about it all the time. We did an ocean party for her theme this year. Here is her cake she wanted me to make and this was our party at home...








She got lots of swimwear, flip flops, and some cute things from Justice for her birthday. She also got a little digital camera that she asked for. That has been very fun for her!






Her friend from school named Leigha had her birthday the same weekend so we combined their parties into one. Leigha is such a sweet girl. She and Katelyn had a great time with their friends. We had their party at an indoor rec. center so they could swim.

Our whole family went swimming with the kids and some of their families too. We had a great time! Here is Brayden!

Trampoline Night

The kids made a night time snack on the trampoline. So fun! They got all of Katelyn's tea sets out and made quite a little feast.

Nathan's 2nd Birthday

We took the kids to the jump zone... Nathan had lots of fun there. I made him a train cake! His favorite things are trains and candy so I thought I would include them both with his birthday cake...
He had a great Birthday! Thanks for everyone's gifts!

Christmas Day

Santa Came! Merry Christmas!!!
The kids were so tired when they first woke up... They were excited, but more tired than anything I think by the look on their faces... Kind of funny! Here they are with some of their favorites... Katelyn got her hamster and teacher stuff, Brayden got his legos and knex, and nathan got his train and trike. We opened a couple presents and then went to church. The kids were pretty patient to open the rest when we got home.
