Brie is 4!!

    


 Gabriella joined the family 4 years ago today! It has been an amazingly fast 4 years! She requested a Frozen birthday party and her daddy is so creative that he was able to make that happen!

She loved her Frozen outfit!  She also enjoyed all of her gifts from those she loves most. Thank you to all who sent cards, gifts and birthday wishes! She was thrilled with everything and was very happy to be having a birthday!

Brie's godfather Brad came into town to celebrate with her and he was sure to give her birthday spankings! She giggled the whole time and counted with him!

 Her true birthday today was much more low key. Pizza and ice cream cake! She had such a sparkle in her eye tonight. I think she had a great birthday party and excellent birthday!

Happy Birthday my sweet baby Brie, God is good! We love you to pieces!

Makayla's 4th grade performance

Makayla had a performance with her recorder, singing, and dancing. It was a neat little program and nice to see her interacting with her classmates. A quick classroom picture before heading back to class. 

Super Bowl party

Super Bowl 2014 is over and so is the party. We hosted 7 families and had a great time! We had 2 t.v's going with the game and the t.v. in the basement was set up with a movie marathon of Despicable Me for the kids. At various points parents joined the kids as their party was more fun than the game! A fun night and a great group, looking forward to getting together again!

Pop is in town

 Pop came into town to go out to dinner with my Pete and then to a Bill O'Reilly event here in town. Pete and his siblings gave Pop tickets to go. Pop also hung around for a Brie birthday party as well. It was very fun to have him in town for a fast 24 hours but we packed a lot of talking and hugs into that time! The kids had a blast having him here.

twirl dresses

 Those that know me know that I love a good Hanna dress. Well they were having a sale and happened to have all the girls' sizes available! I was not sure how my 10 year old would take to the dress and if she would like to match her sisters... well  she LOVED the dress and thought it was very neat that they all matched!! yea! love her and love them!! The dresses twirl very big and all the girls twirled for about 15 minutes! PJ had to photo bomb a picture, he is so funny!

sunsets

yes it is January and we still manage to get some amazing sunsets! This photo makes the sky appear to be on fire.

my babes

 

These kids had a great Thursday! They were two peas in a pod all day. I am sad to think of the fall and the separation of these guys. I think they will do ok, however I imagine each evening they will be attached to each other. My wish for their futures is that they can remain such great friends as they grow. They totally balance each other out and so enjoy each others company. God indeed knew what he was doing by blessing us with Brie!
