A New Cousin

Dave went to LA to work for a two weeks, so we went to Phoenix to meet Gage, the kiddos new little cousin.

 The kids always love to go swimming at Uncle Logan's house.  Emma likes to cuddle with her future aunt on the raft.

 Abby and Grandma cuddling.

 Lil guy can stand, but rarely does it.  At this point I'm not sure if he'll ever walk!!!

 There he is....Baby Gage!

 Abby has been waiting to get her hands on him.

 Emma loves him too.

 My mom and Abby have their birthday on the same day.  We celebrated their birthdays when we were there.

 Me and the little sweetie.

My parents' church has these really cool palm trees in the front.  I've been dying to take pictures of the kids there.  Of course, they weren't in the mood to 'pose' for mom, but I got a few good ones.

I got some family pictures too.

 It's so hard to get them all to cooperate!

Abby's 5th Birthday

Here are some pictures of the birthday girl at her party.

The kids had fun playing with the balloons.

 The kids played a little 'Pin the tail on Bullseye'.

 She loved this Rex she got.

 I made her a cake that looked like Jessie's hat.

 Abby & Emma helped clean up after the party.  Emma's face is awesome in this pic.

 Josiah helped out also.

We celebrated Abby, Dave, and Gordon's birthday the next day, on her actual birthday.  We saved Abby's cake for that day. 

Mother's Day

I love Mother's Day.  A day of no work, ahhh so nice.  Thanks to my wonderful husband I just get to relax and enjoy the day.  We went to church, lunch, and then home for a nap.  I love taking a nap, especially when I am not awakened by one of the kiddos!  Then we went to In 'N Out Burger to meet up with the whole family.  Dave's cousin's were in town so they joined us too.  It was super windy today.  So I couldn't take pictures outside, boo hoo.  That was sad for me, but I took some while at dinner.

 Josiah is just like Dave was when he was young....He cannot sit in a high chair, he is always standing up and people watching while he has a ton of food in his mouth.  Hence, the big 'ole cheeks. 

 Isn't my niece the cutest thing?  I love her laugh, even with food in her mouth!

Josiah's 1st Birthday

Why do they grow up so fast?  Josiah is getting so big and getting an even bigger personality.  His favorite thing to do in life...eat, eat, and eat some more.  He loves to wrestle with his sisters.  He has the cutest little jibber jabber talking that he does all the time.  He does NOT like frosting!  Here are some pictures from his party.

Easter

I couldn't be more blessed than to celebrate Resurrection Sunday with these little sweeties.  Thank you, Jesus, for dying on the cross for me.
