Happy 4th Birthday Lyla!

I'm having so much trouble with my blog lately.  I'm not sure why this has moved to today.  Lyla was 4 back in May!  UGH!!!  I don't want to delete though....


Today our Lyla Grace is 4 years old!!! She is so excited to be celebrating her birthday, but she is also sad she is no longer 3. She has been telling us for months now that she doesn't want to turn 4. Crazy, right? Well, her reason is because when she is 4 she will no longer fit in her princess dresses! Priorities people!!! Her daddy has assured her though that he will buy her new dresses when she grows out of these.
She certainly keeps us all in line, entertains us with her many outfits, every single dramatic thing that comes out if her mouth.

Happy birthday to our sweet princess. You are the sassiest, most loving girl we know! Thank you for being you! We love you!!!

Happy 1st Birthday Haddie Jane!

I can't believe this sweet girl is ONE year old!
She turned one on Thursday and we celebrated yesterday with a very COLORFUL birthday party.

She is doing so many fun things right now and just last night after her party she started WALKING!  We knew she was close, but last night she finally just did it.  My sister, Amanda and her two kids were here too.  We all had so much fun having her walk to each one of us and all of us cheering for her every single time.  So cute!

I had fun decorating with rainbow colors.  I wish I would have taken some better pictures.  I actually made her cake and a lot of the decorations.

She WAS NOT into getting dirty with the cake.  I just knew she was going to dig in, but no.  She got a little on her hand and wanted us to get it off.  she just took a couple of bites like this.  The cake was at the perfect level to just bite :-)

Some of Haddie's cousins got to party with us.

Caleb & Gavin - 10th Birthday!

TEN YEARS OLD!!!! This birthday made me sad. 10 is soooo old! :-)

Scott & I have been so blessed with these two. They are so caring, loving and super smart. We love them so much and have had tons of fun raising them!

Happy Birthday to Me!

My sweet kids made this poster card for me with a bunch of gift cards to some of my favorite places. So sweet!

Happy Birthday Lyla Grace!

Yesterday we celebrated Lyla's 2nd birthday with a fiesta. Our niece, April, took some pictures of Lyla for us, so I do not have much to share. As soon as I catch up on my sleep and get some of the pictures back from her I will add more to this post. We love you baby!!!

Boys' 9th Birthday

Caleb and Gavin wanted to go to Dallas to The Main Event for their birthday. We took 3 little friends, Trenton, Trevor, and Kenner. The boys loved it! They played arcade game, bowled and competed in a little laser tag. It was the perfect little boy spot. Happy Birthday guys! We love you so much!!!
