Happy 9th birthday Rylee!

Happy birthday little Puppy Bit! Rylee is 9 years old! WTHeck? Seriously this girl grows up so fast. She has been such a good easy kid, I feel like I am missing out. She is darling, to skinny for her skinny jeans, spunky, so much energy. She plays piano, gymnastics, basketball, soccer, and soon to start dance up again...wheew! She loves playing outside, loves to play with friends, but most of all loves to play with sisters!  Thanks for being so great Rylee!  We did a family birthday this year. We all went to Lagoon (minus Wes thank goodness) For her birthday dinner she chose steak and mashed potatoes yummy! Love you Pup Pup. Mommy.

Hmmm...a funny story this year about Rylee. She was at walmart with Grandma and they saw some floral jumpers that Grandma had bought my girls. Grandma asked Rylee if she had worn hers and Rylee replied that "well, they kindof look like polygamist dresses." And Grandma says, "but they are Hannah Montana dresses!"  To which Rylee replied "Hannah Montana is a polygamist????!!!" In shock!  Funny.

Happy birthday WESTON!

Happy Birthday Little Baby Brother Buddy Dude. We ALL LOVE you. This has been a fabulous first year if I do say so myself. You have been a great little baby. You are happy. You sleep so good. Sleep in daily til about 9 am or later. On a bad day you  may get up at 8:30. You eat more food than your older 3 sister's combined. You are just so sweet and you mama is in LOVE with you. I just want to eat you for breakfast lunch and dinner.

I just took these pics today. Don't you love his tiny dimple?

And look at that sad sweet face. I just want to smooch all his pain away. He has a little fever. Hoping he is good for his party.

My heart is broken too...SO sad you are a year old. Makes me super duper sad! I want to freeze you in time and keep you a baby!

Love you much!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BO!

Sophie turned 2 two days ago. We call her Bo. Sad, I didn't want that nickname, it reminds me of a redheaded stepchild boy in a trailer park, but it is what it is. It fits her now for sure. She may look adorable in these photos, don't let her fool you ....

She hit her terrible twos about 3-4 months ago. And she is textbook terrible! She has become an artist, filling our walls and couches with beautiful drawings and we rarely catch her in the act to bust her. She hasn't made it through nursery one time! (This never happened to her older sisters, I am not one of "those" mom's)
I can't take her out. Last week she cried for 35 minutes strait in walmart. My Mom comes with me often just to help me get groceries! It is that bad.

We still wouldn't trade her. She is SO cute! She doesn't talk much yet (shocker). She says... mama, dada, bamper (scamp), she askes for "NaNa" (nightmare before christmas.) side (outside). She asks for num a num....which is any food, but something really good like candy may get an extra num a num a num numm. Cheese, baba, nigh night...Oh she is good at sleeping. Has always been. My best sleeper by far. She sleeps in even! She goes to naps and bed on her own. Rarely cries. And she sleeps longer than the average 2 year old, probably because when she is awake she cannot sit still for a second. We LOVE baby BO!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADDIE BEEK!

Addie is 5, cutest 5 year old ever. Here is her halloween costume. She was three things again t his year, monster, tinkerbell and elephant, she wanted to be a cheerleader last minute, but we couldn't find the costume.

We love our funny Addie. Always being goofy. Never shy. Loves attention and spotlight. Has 1,000 friends. She is super popular in our hood, it is funny. Two of my favorite funny memories are not caputured on film or video. One, when she was 2, she ran across the street butt naked in the middle of the day. Climbed on top of a harly davidson that was parked in the neighbors driveway. And tried to ride it. I didn't even know she had escaped for a few minutes. I think everyone in our cul de sac has seen her nude. Second memory, at her Aunts wedding a few weeks ago. No children were invited except the neices and nephews. There was 6 kids total. ANyhow, if you have heard that cha cha slide hip hop line dance, Addie was dancing in the middle of about 20 adults trying her best to do the moves. She was so serious and had her cute bootie moving. She was the only kid out there. I wish I had it on video, it was SO cute!

Happy birthday BEEKIE!

HAPPY birthDAY mCKennA!!!

MKenna turned nine yesterday. Can you believe how grown up she is? Crazy! Her favorite Color is still purple. She loves Spongebob and Hannah Montana. She loves her sisters best, and her Cousins are her bestfriends, and her next door neighbor Jade. She is One of the tallest girls in Class. She is a perfeCtionist. Her room is the Cleanest in the house. She is worried about her grades and piano praCtiCe and is worried if everything is not just perfeCt. She still plays soCCer, but dropped gymnastiCs and danCe for now. She is the niCe girl, sensitive, sweet, obedient, great girl. We love her. MCKenna, thanks for letting Mommy Come on your field trip yesterday. It was so muCh fun to spend time with you and not worry about anyone else in the family. We don't spend enough one on one time together, and Mommy will try to be better with that. You are the best 9 year old EVER!

Party Time!

We had a combined Sophie Sawyer birthday party. We went to LIberty Park downtown. Lots of cousins came. Crazy but fun. Sophie had a good time. This is her adorable party outfit that I made :) (do you think adults would look cute in those pants?)

Here are the little BFF's. We made them matching "S" shirts.
Don't fly away baby bof. We went for her 1 year check up, and she is down to 10% percentile weight, and only 75% height. I don't think we ever had a 10% baby!
We stripped down for the cake. She loved it of course, and it made a little of a mess. Dallan and I carried her over to the drinking fountain to clean her off. We think people thought it was the sickest blow-out ever!

This is a funny photo of Addie explaining to Dallan exactly how to kill the bumble bee on the ground next to us. She wouldn't do it, so she gave this great example to Dallan just how to do it. FUnny girl!


These are the fabulous matching outfits that Grandma LIghten made for these little babies. Don't you just love them? Cute clothes for cute kids.

Sophie recieved a madame alexander vintage looking baby doll, playschool ball party, and glow worm from us. Grandma Lighten got her a book and this outfit and a fun ball toy, Grandma Andrus send a music guitar toy. Domgaards got her a piano, Laura got her a cute butterfly. Sawyer got her a pull along Dog toy. She got plenty of gifts, enough to rewrap for Christmas! Thanks everyone!

Happy Birthday Baby girl!

Happy Birthday Sweet Baby Bo. We are all in love with you. You have been the funnest baby. We have all had so much fun with you this year. You gave us all a scare at the start, but everything has been so fun having a tiny baby around the house again. You are a hit with the girls and cousins. Everybody loves you. Your red hair is fading (sad) but your blue eyes are still striking! You make your mama happy. (except that you don't say mama, only dada). You have 8 cute chicklets in your mouth. And you are 95% height, 50% weight, a long and lean. You sputter your tounge and spit when you get frustrated or mad at us. Thanks for being our Bofie McBoferton.
