Anna awake and eyes open. Today she was awake for 4 hours straight. That is very long for her, but we all enjoyed playing and talking with her.

Brent had a birthday party with his friends. We just invited boys this year. It was a beautiful day and he was so sweet to everyone

There are some really good kids that he has fun playing with.

For those moments that Kaylee makes me a bit stressed, it is worth it when she does things like this. I really laughed out loud when I turned around and saw this. It really tickled me. She is so random. It was about 60 something degrees and she was loving being in the pool. It was so cold. .

Laying with Kaylee after a bath. She loves taking a bath and Kaylee loves to lay with her afterwards on the bed while she gets dressed.

Brents present for his birthday.

Ben's fun hobby.

Brent is excited for his birthday on Wed, but was thrilled to get a fresh water fish tank for his birthday. He and Ben talk fish every night. It is fun for them to have a fun thing to do together.

The kids birthday Party with family

Kaylee designed her cake.

Garrett was thrilled to be three. He kept saying I can't believe it. This is unbelievable, everytime he would open a gift. He is at such a fun age and gets so excited for everything.

Our friends the Dorius's are moving. We are so sad. We will really miss them.

Anna wanting to eat instead of taking pictures.

She usually likes the car seat, but this was a bad moment. I wanted to show how much bigger she is getting.

Garrett likes to dress up in random things.

Anna's a little hesitant on Garrett's lap. She never knows what to expect.

We went to the Kauffman's house last weekend for a visit. It was so much fun. The kids had a blast. We also stayed with Jenny and Brian and also loved it, but we were enjoying it so much I forgot to take any pictures. We always love visiting.

The kids warmed right up to them.

Stevie's Race. It was such an emotional experience for everyone. I look forward to participating next year. We were lucky to have found her right before it started so we could grab a picture. .

The cheering section. Most of the parents and grandparents were in the race so we had fun with the kids.

Garrett loves to help Ben and he was enjoying filling his lawn mower up with gas.

Anna is trying to stay warm. It was a little cool this morning.

We were able to have my family come to church with us on sunday to bless Anna. It was a fun day being with everyone.

Her eyes were finally opened

Kaylee turned 5 today

She is such a funny little girl. She told me she wanted a calendar and a phone in her room for her birthday. She loves to talk on the phone to her cousins and family. She did not want any toys so I didn't even bother. I took her to a favorite little girl store and she picked out several accessories that she wanted like socks, head bands, flip flops and finger nail polish. She loved the day and so did I. I just didn't realize we would be doing our mommy/daughter shopping at age 5. She loved the day being all about her, but I have to say it was her best behaved day yet. She just wants to be alot older than she really is. I feel like she turned 15 today instead of 5. Oh well. We love our Kaylee
