Kaylee's 2nd Birthday

I have said this many times over the past week, but seriously I can not believe that my baby has turned 2! These past 2 years seem to have gone by SO fast! While it makes me sad that Kaylee (and all of my children) seem to be growing up WAY too fast. I also LOVE this stage.. So far none of my children have hit the "terrible twos" (now three's is a completely different story!). I love how you can almost see their little minds thinking and working things out.

Some things I love about Kaylee.

* I love how Kaylee adds many new words to her vocabulary everyday. I especially love when she uses "big words" like actually and delicious.
* I love how she taps her pointer finger on her lips while thinking and says "hmmm".
* I love how she still thinks I am wonderful! (We all need a little self-esteem boost now and then right?)
*Kaylee has the funniest personality, she has so many "faces" it would take forever to name them all.
*She LOVES her brothers and sister, she especially LOVES Lucie and is devastated when Lucie leaves for preschool/playgroup once a week.
*Jared taught Kaylee to dance, it is the funniest thing ever, someday I will get it on camera.
Obviously I could go on and on but I will stop boring you.

Happy Birthday Kaylee! We love you so much!

July 2, 2009 Kody's 5th Birthday!

Kody I am SO sorry I forgot to add your birthday to the list of exciting events this summer! Happy Birthday! I hope you had an AWESOME day!

If you ask him...his favorite part of his birthday???? Going to lunch at Wild Buffalo Wings with his Uncle Owen! Thanks Owen!!!! :)

Logan's Birthday

April 24th was Logan's 7th birthday! Where has the time gone? I can't believe that my little boy is getting so old!

Logan was so excited for his birthday! I woke him up early and Owen came and took him to Denny's for a surprise birthday breakfast! Logan was SOOOO excited to go out with just him and Owen (Logan wants to do everything my brothers do, he will hear a youth dance announced at church and say "I'm going with Owen and his friends to the dance." or "I am going to do _____ just like Tanner!").

Logan has been asking me all year to come and eat lunch with him at school...so I brought him Subway (one of his favorites) and cupcakes for his class. I also got to play with him at recess! :)

That evening we headed to Olive Garden, the kids thought it was wonderful!

After dinner the waitresses sang Happy Birthday to Logan, the whole restaurant clapped along...he was VERY surprised, and embarrassed, the look on his face was priceless! On the way home he told us that it was "SO cool".

"Where's the exit?"

We got home and opened presents and sang to him again!

Happy Birthday Logan!

Happy Birthday Lucie!!!

Happy Birthday Lucie!

Friday (April 3rd) was Lucie's 2nd Birthday! She was so excited! When I asked her what she wanted for her birthday she would say, "A pink cake. A pink cake with princesses!" She fell asleep on the rocking chair waiting for everyone to get here. My Mom, Dad, Tanner, Adelaide, and Hanna and Ella came over for dinner, Lucie would tell everyone "It's Wucie's birthday!" with a big cheesy smile on her face! When it was time to blow out the candles she started blowing when the cake was still halfway across the room. It was too cute!


Later after the party was over we had everyone ready for bed, Jared and I were saying goodnight to Logan and Kody when I realized Lucie was not upstairs. I called for her and heard her little voice coming from down stairs, "I getting Dad's phone!" I waited a few minutes and called for her again, "I not eating cake Mom!" So down the stairs I went to find her with a HUGE smile on her face and cake ALL over her, the chair, the table, the counter, and the floor. She looked at me and said "It's good pink cake Mom!"

Happy Birthday Lucie! We love you so much!

Happy Birthday Kody!

Today was Kody's 4th birthday! I can not believe how fast the time has gone!

Poor Kody had to wait FOREVER to open his presents, we were trying to wait for Jared to get home from a meeting (for work) with Dr. Shah (who might I add is NOT on my nice list, but that is a whole other story!). Lucie fell asleep and Kody was on the verge, so I decided to just go ahead. Here are some pictures of his birthday. No, his shirt is not stained, he and Logan had just finished a water fight with some splash balls he had gotten.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KODY!
WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
