So Sweet!!!!

Marlie and Jaiden are so sweet, they said that last night after we put them to bed they got up and made these cute cards for me for my birthday...

Notice that on Jaiden's it says that I am only 13:) I love it...I really am not enjoying the idea that I am now 31:( My girls are so cute I love em' Happy birthday to me!!!!!!!

Big Boy!!!!

Gage is getting so big....I thought I would get him in the act:) He has thought about rolling over for a while now, he did it on accident a couple weeks ago, but this time its for real...

Yeah:) So big!!!! Once he got here he got really mad, because he couldn't figure out how to get back!!! I am sure that will come soon!!!

Gone Shootin'

So James has been trying to get me to going shooting with him ever since he got his gun, but I really don't like them, so I have always hesitated!!! Well we finally went today...it was really fun, but really, really cold!!! This is cold little Jaiden trying to stay warm, she didn't want to shoot, she just watched...it didn't last very long, she was back in the warm car with the little ones before to long!!!

After a couple of shots, I started to get the hang of it!! James said I actually did pretty well, I think I impressed him because I kept hitting all the targets:) Actually I think I impressed myself!!!!

Look at that hansom guy!!! You'd think he has done that a few times:)

Marlie was so excited, but nervous!!!! After feeling the kick of the gun, she was a little worried, she only shot it twice and was done!!! Jaiden said she wanted to try it next time we went!!!!

So Sleepy!!!

Sweet little Ellie!!! We had just gotten home from Grandpa Bruce's house on tuesday night!! She came in the house while we were bringing things in and she couldn't make it to her bed so she ended up half way on the couch!!! Doesn't she look so sweet and innocent:) If it were always that calm and peaceful with her...Just Kidding...We love her sleeping or getting into mischief!!!!

Happy Birthday Jaiden!!!

Jaiden turned 6 on Dec 27th, we celebrated with our family that day, but she had a friend party on Jan. 10th. We had such a fun day...we had a snow party!!! We took all the kids sledding, it was so fun and no one got hurt!!!:) By the time we brought all the kids back to our house to have cake, they were all so tired... it was great!!! There's nothing like 12 little 5 and 6 year olds wanting to just sit down and watch a movie:) We really enjoyed the day!!!! I think most of you know that I love to decorate cakes, this Snowman cake was so fun and non-stressful to make!!! The kids loved it:) If anyone ever needs a cake made I would love to help:)

This is the boys getting ready to race down the hill:) Dominic, Carter and Jackson They all had so much fun!!!

Jaiden and a couple of friends Maria and Reagan, Notice Ellie behind thinking she is so strong and trying to help push them down the hill!!!

Jaiden blowing out her candles:) NOTE how far back she is standing from the cake...for some reason they started to spark (they weren't trick candles) it made her so nervous she didn't want to even blow them out!!! With a little persuasion from her friends she finally blew them out!!!!

The kids getting excited for Cake!!!!!
