Lilian turns 6!

Lilian turned six this week! She had a marvelous day! These pictures are of the kids playing on there new swing set. They think it is fun to take Makenzie up the slide.



This is what Makenzie thinks of that!

Lilian woke up to balloons and a yummy egg breakfast by dad! 

Jaron and I made a yummy GF Fairy cake.

 

Her favorite, her Rapunzel crown!!

I went and saw Lilian at school in the morning and had lunch with her. In the afternoon I took the kids back and took snacks for her class. They sang her happy birthday. We then took her friend Savanna, out of school and we all went to the movies! We met our friend Jessica and Ellie there. We had a blast watching Ice Age 4. Then we had swim lessons at 6. We came home and celebrated with cake and ice cream with Grandma and Grandpa Soren, Aunt Mariah, Uncle Owen, Uncle Arick and Aunt Janel. What a fun night! 

 

Here is my monkey! She prefers to climb on it then ride it. Go figure! 

 

 

 

Fall 2012 Kid Pictures!

This morning I took some fall photos of the kids! I am happy how they turned out. Makenzie was ready for a nap so she wasn't very cooperative, but I think she did well for an 11 month old.

 

This will be Lilian's Kindergarten photo. I chose not to order from the school.



She is 6 years old! She is an amazingly beautiful girl! Full of fun! 

Connor will be 4 in about 2 weeks! Look at those eyes! He is gorgeous and such a charmer! 

 

 

 This was the best I could get of my very active almost 1 year old!! 

 

Matching dresses, thanks Grandma Doyle. Lily has been wanting a matching outfit, so she was so excited today to dress alike. I love this photo, I am glad Makenzie has a big sister to look up to. 

 

 

 

 

Our new addition!

We have been wanting to get something for the backyard. With everyone's birthday's coming up, I was hoping to get something to celebrate. On Tuesday afternoon I saw this Rainbow Swing Set for only $150!! I was so excited! It needs the rope replaced, a swing replaced and refinished. But over all the wood is in great shape.


It took Jaron and his dad 2.5 hours to take it apart and bring it home Friday night. Then it took us about 3hours to put it together and tighten all the bolts Saturday morning. 

 

 

 

 

 

We are so excited for our new addition! The kids have been out all afternoon playing! 

I think Jaron and I have a monkey on our hands! Makenzie is only 11 months and she has to climb up everything! 

She is looking out the window trying to talk to Connor and Lilian outside. She is a jabber box lately! 

 

 

Labor Day Hike-Jump Creek

For Labor day weekend 2012 we enjoyed the morning by doing some chores around the house! We really needed to mow the lawn, wash the cars, etc.. So after lunch, we headed out for a fun family hike.
Jaron found a great hike trail called Jump Creek.


It was perfect for our family. 

 

We told the kids we were going on a "bear hunt" when we saw this cave! The kids were excited to hike to the top of it! Luckily, no bears!

 

 

 

We came to a nice waterfall. The water was really cold though. That did not stop Jaron though. He took Connor all the way out. 

 

 

My very handsome husband!!




My boys!
