WAY TOOO LONG

It really has been way too long since I have blogged. Where did 2009 go? In 2010 I will be a better blog updater! Here's are some old posts;

Carter & Noah(Carter's favorite cousin) both turned 5. Noah lived in KY & moved here, so now they are both in the same preschool class. Carter is in heaven!! Carter literally can't function when Noah is not by his side. They both turned 5 in the same month, so they had a combined birthday party at Bounce Jungle. Here are some pics:

Carter's present was a motorcycle. Which is now Brody's favorite word...."mochorcychle". The boys have so much fun riding around their bikes around in the backyard(that is when there is no irrigation).

Here are a few things about my 5 year old Carter:

He loves preschool with Miss Allison

He loves to hide his cute curled up smile

He is very coordinated

He loves to eat Vanilla yogurt

He is a wonderful big brother

The Stauffer's

We had a big fourth of July party with the Stauffer's this year. We also celebrated Frank's & my b-day. My mom made her scrumptious 8 layer chocolate cake, I was in heaven. The kids had fun playing in the water slide, they were in heaven too. Here are a couple pics from the event.

Desert Ridge

Grandma Kathryn & Papa George took us all to a resort in Scottsdale for the 4th of July weekend. We all had fun playing in the pools ALL day long.
Here we are going out to eat one night.

This picture is hilarious! I think some one had a little bit too much fun in the sun!

This picture was taken at about 3:00 am. To make a long story short, the ac broke in our room. The boys slept through it, but Brinks and I partied it up in another room that was a cool 72 degrees.

Thank you Peterson's, we can't wait to do it again next year! xoxo

My baby is 1!

Can't I just freeze time? You know your getting old when time begins to fly by. Our last baby(yes its official) is not a baby anymore. She is now a toddler. This was our last 1 year old birthday party & our first girl party...so we had FUN. (beware picture overload) Here is the b-day girl & a banner I made.....yes it all matches her dress. Her dress was the party inspiration.

I had left over scrap book paper from the banner. I didn't want it to go to waste, so Carter & I wrapped the paper around our water bottles.

Here are my leopard cupcakes...marshmallow fondant is hard. I don't recommend trying to do it 3 hours before the party.

Brinks dug right in.

Present time with lots of help from the boys & Abby.

Brinks has been such a blessing in our lives. We are so grateful to our Heavenly Father for all our healthy kids. It is has been so fun to experience a baby girl. She is really sweet & loves her brothers. She has started to walk and she is always happy. She is not a picky eater and loves to eat anything & everything...as long as its not baby food. She also loves to dance & wave. We love you Brinks!
