All Of My Babies Are A Year Older!

Winter is a busy time for us!

Not only do we have the normal holidays but we also have 3 very important birthdays to celebrate.

ALIYA turns 2!

This little girl has stolen our hearts! She is so tender and loves to be with Mom and Dad. She is growing so fast and talks more and more everyday. She loves being a sister but don't tell her she is the youngest because she won't believe you. She has recently decided that she hates wearing pants. If I don't put her in a dress within a few minutes her pants disappear to some unknown hiding place and she spends the rest of the day in a t-shirt. 

We all agree that we will probably keep her...how can you say no to that smile!?!

We love you Miss Aliya!

NAOMI turns 4!

I could go on and on about my "little love"! Naomi is one of those kids that can get away with everything just because you can't help but smile. She is so much fun to be around! She is very good at puzzles, loves doing homeschool, and is always asking for candy. Her favorite food is corn-dogs, corn on the cob and salad. Her best friends are Brett and Emily and she talks about them almost every day. 

No matter how hard I try I still wake up every morning with her curled up next to me and her cold feet tucked under my back, and as much as I hate it I love it so much! 

Try to figure that one out...

Every year we have a tradition to make gingerbread houses on Naomi's birthday. This year Mommy was a little burned out so we mad flat gingerbread houses. 

We love you so much Love Bug!

DENAE turns 7!

My little Princess! 

There are moments when she is so grown up that it scares me and then the next second she needs me and I sigh a breath of relief. She is our little artist. She has beautiful cursive handwriting and the moment we are done with school she works on pictures and projects for the rest of the day. She is always coming up with some big idea. She loves creatures and nature and is always pointing out its beauty. She loves making new friends and isn't afraid to walk up and introduce herself. Look out world because she is headed your way!

She got a big surprise this year when her cousins came to visit on the weekend of her birthday. Her and Faith get so excited to see each other! They got to go to the children's museum and hang out all weekend.  She could not have gotten a better present!

Happy Birthday Kiddo!

PS she is so excited to be baptized next year!
