Happy birthday Elijah

Ok , Elijah ....... Who said that you could EVER grow up!!!!!!!!! You are amazingly darling, and extremely talented! We just love you so much! Where did those last 7 years run away to???? Thankyou for being such a sweetheart !
Elijah wants to be a movie maker when he grows up. His favorite thing to do right now is build with Legos and draw. Spaghetti is his favorite dinner, so that is what we made for him.

Valentines fun

Well ....we like to make Valentines, and frosted cookies for Valentines day. We also like to pretend it's the beginning of spring around our house. We have hopes of sunny days , and spring flowers , and seeing green sprouts on the trees around this time. However... we do not live in California, and we have been receiving snowstorm after snowstorm! But I promise that I caught each of the girls trying to leave the house in flip flops or toe less 4 inch heels last week. Chelsie went to the store in shorts!!!Anyway, We all hope you had a Happy Valentines Day!And that maybe you received some flowers ,if there weren't any in your garden !

Aren't these guys handsome? It is so fun to have such cuties that dress up every sunday. What would we do without them? Marshall bought these latest sunday best clothes for them , because they both decided that white shirts are what they needed to where to church. What good boys!

Baby Lily's first Birthday!

Little Lily had her first birthday! She looked so darling, and was so happy. Candace baked her some very special cupcakes with polka dots and little Lilly loved them! She received a lot of very cute presents including some fun books! She loves to look at books and squeal with delight and point to all of the babys. Pizza and bread sticks were served with pop. It was a fun night. I can't believe these little ones grow up so fast! And yes she can walk! So she made the one year walking deadline. We love you Lily.
