Happy Birthday Tate!

Today my sweet, cuddly Tate-o-bug turned 3. He is so funny because earlier this week I would say to him "who is turning 3 on Friday" and he would get so mad. He said he didn't want a birthday. Now what little kid says they don't want a birthday? If I mentioned the word birthday during the week, I would get a look. He is really into the movie Cars, so that's what kind of party he had. I wanted to decorate last night so when he woke up he would be surprised. (maybe he wouldn't be so grumpy about his birthday) I was right...He had a big grin on his face when he saw the balloons and banner. He had a good birthday and got some fun presents.

The Happiest Place on Earth!

Last week we were able to go to Disneyland for 3 days. My kids love it there, but so do I. You can't help but not be happy when you're there. My parents and my brother and his family also came with us. I don't know what we'd do without their help. Hayden could go on all the rides except for one. His favorite ride was Space Mountain. Tate could go on most of the rides and his favorite was Splash Mountain and the Tea Cups. He definitely did not like the Haunted Mansion. Addison was amused by all the rides she could go on. She was taking everything in. We saw some of the characters in passing, but the lines were too long to wait in for a picture. The only picture we got was with Pluto. Oh wells, I'm sure we will be back in a couple of years. I love going on family vacations. Sometimes I wish they'd never end.




Tate is into Cars right now, so he was excited to see this.

Addie's 1st Birthday

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to!


My sweet baby girl turned 1 on April 18th. It's kind of sad to think how fast time flies by. Sometimes I wish I could bottle my kids up at certain ages and phases of their life. Who doesn't? Anyway, we had a fun little party for Addie. It was an owl theme party...Her invitations said look "whoo's" turning 1. We had our families and a couple of friends over for a barbecue, cake and of course presents! It was like Christmas all over again for Addie.

Addie is our little sweetheart. When she flashes you her cheesy smile, you can't help but smile too. She is a busy little girl and likes to get into anything she can. She has everyone wrapped around her fingers, especially her grandpa's. Happy Birthday Baby Girl!! We love you!
