Happy Birthday Dad!

It is that time of year for us that the birthdays keep rolling around. The kids love it, especially our little party planner, Camden. This time it was dad's turn. When I took the girls shopping at the store, they were adamant about the fact that he needed boy stuff. They seem to think that there is a shortage of boy stuff around our house, which is very true. Two of the girls gave him guns. One shot balls and the other was just a noise maker. With all of the football that they are forced to watch around here, they also came up with the idea for the cake on their own. Camden even did the BYU on it herself. Happy Birthday dad! We are so grateful to have such a great dad, and one that puts up with us and all of our girly stuff!

Here's dad and his 3 little princesses!

Uncle Devin

We sure love uncle Devin. Last year was so much fun living close during his senior year. We were able to watch him wrestle, play tennis and many other things. It was such a fun year and the girls sure got to know him well and sure love him. Devin received his mission call not long before thanksgiving, so we were lucky enough to come and see him before he goes. He leaves April 1st, so who knows maybe we'll get to see him again before then.
The best part about last year was that our little Oakley was born on Uncle Devin's birthday! It was such a fun suprise. I think that will always make him her special uncle. I think that he has a soft spot in his heart for her as well. During his senior year he started making her a box in wood working class. He finished it over thanksgiving and gave it to her. It is beautiful!!! The dark wood was from California and was one that only he was able to use. The light trim was from a tree that Devin and one of his buddies cut down. He had Oakley's name and birthdate engraved on the inside of the lid and from Uncle Devin on the bottom. I am sure that this is a gift that she will treasure forever. Thank you Devin. We sure love you!

Welcome Home Dallin!

Uncle Dallin returned home from his mission in September. We hadn't seen him yet, so thanksgiving was a great reunion. The girls sure had a good time getting to know him again, and meeting him for the first time. We are so proud of him and love hime tons! Way to go!

Happy Birthday Kota!

This time of year sure is busy around here. The girls sure have had fun birthdays. Kota waited all week for hers. I think we celebrated it a little bit every day. She has really gotten to be such a big girl. She keeps right up with her sister. There is never a dull moment with her around. She loves Dorthy and the Wizard of Oz right now so we got her a Yellow Brick Road cake.

At 3 she loves to sing and dance, dress-up, read, give hugs, and draw/color. She is funny, very determined, loveable, and a great sister. We love you Kota. Happy Birthday!

Happy Halloween!!!

We love halloween. The girls were all so excited for it this year. Kota decided months ago that she wanted to be "Dorthy". We thought that it would be fun if we were all characters from the "Wizard of OZ" but it didn't work out that way. Camden was "Giselle" from "Enchanted" and Oakley was "Pocahontas". They all had a great time trick or treating. The weather was so great here. They didn't even need coats.

5 Years Old!

Where has time gone? I can't believe that my little girl is already 5 years old. She is definately not a little girl anymore. She is such a sweetie and we are so grateful that we have been blessed to have her in our family. At five she is very loving and generous, full of fun and laughter, quite the tease, loves to learn and discover. She is still very into princesses, reading, and playing in the mud. We love you Camden. Happy Birthday!

Camden's Last Soccer game

Last week was Camden's last soccer game. It was a pretty cold day. We even woke up to snow that morning. We got to the field that day and they had canceled the game. There were 2 teams that had shown up so we decided to go ahead and play. It probably only lasted 10 minutes, but it was worth it knowing that it would be the last game of the season. Camden has loved soccer this year. I think that her favorite part has to be the turf fields or running off the fields to pick flowers. (She is definately all girl.) We have loved watching her and can't wait to start up again next year.
















Here is a little clip of their game.
