February 3, 2015. Under the weather.

This little brother of ours has come down with his first cold. I guess it was inevitable. Collin and Lyla have been sick for weeks. I was hoping he wouldn't catch it, but it looks like we were't quite that lucky. The poor guy has been running a fever, congested, and pretty sleepy. His little cough is enough to break anyone's heart. We're watching him close making sure he is breathing well and staying hydrated. I hope he gets better fast. Despite being sick, he is still the cutest little guy ever!

February 1, 2015. Drake's Blessing.

Our sweet boy was given a name and a blessing at church today. It was such a special day filled with family and friends. It was so neat to see my little man encircled about by all the special men in my life. I'm so grateful for the Priesthood. 

Here are some pictures from the day. Drake looked so handsome all dressed in his blessing clothes. By the time I got around to taking pictures, he was tired and not feeling well. He still looked super cute though! Love him so much!

December 19, 2014. Smiles!

This cutie has started to smile and oh my goodness it is the cutest thing ever. I practically have to stand on my head to get a smile out of him so I feel so lucky to have finally captured one with the camera. Even if it was just my cell phone. I can't wait until he smiles all the time! Although he's pretty darn cute even when he's serious.

A visit to Santa.

The kids were so excited to visit Santa. They each took a turn sitting on his lap to tell him what their heart desires for Christmas this year. It was fun watching Lyla visit with Santa. This is the first year that she understands what is going on. She wasn't scared at all. She leaned right in and gave him a big hug! I think all of the kids are on the nice list this year...

November 29, 2014. Ruby's Frozen 6th Birthday!

Ever since Frozen cam out Ruby has wanted a Frozen Birthday, so that is what she got! It turned out so cute and I think she had a wonderful day filled with lots of Frozen fun! She had some cute little friends come over and they played "pin the nose on Olaf," had a Frozen scavenger hunt, and made snowmen out of glitter playdough. And of course they opened presents and had cake and ice cream! Such a fun afternoon for a fun, girl! Happy 6th birthday Ruby! We love you!

I just love this spunky girl!

I LOVE the way this cake turned out! One of my favorites that I have made for the kids so far!

 Snowman making was a hit!

I just love this cute group of friends she has. 

Happy Birthday Ruby! May all your wishes come true!
