Best Picture, EVER!!!

One Year!

I cannot believe my baby is already a year old! Last night I was remembering how crazy and amazing it was to suddenly rush to the hospital after my water broke during Rebecca's birthday party. The year has truly flown by!

I can't imagine our lives without our precious Daniel. He is always so smiley and happy, not to mention SUPER easy-going.

I love this baby boy. Oh, and I love how the next picture looks like he has a soul patch!

I am so grateful to Heavenly Father for blessing our family with such an amazing gift.

Rainy Days Are the Best!

I LOVED seeing gray skies today! I go even more excited when I started to feel tiny sprinkles as I played on the trampoline with my kids. We sat outside for a couple minutes, then hurried into the house once we could tell it was starting to prep for real rain. Daniel loved standing up against the door and watching the rain fall. We celebrated with pumpkin chocolate chip cookies and hot chocolate! Yum!!! Even Daniel got to have some of our rainy day treat. After a while thunder started, though, and poor Steven got so scared. Every time we would hear it he would bolt for the safety of his bed and bury his face into his small mountain of stuffed animals. To help all the kids feel better (the thunder actually got pretty crazy) I turned on "The Sound of Music" at the part during the storm when she sings "My Favorite Things." All three kids were mesmerized. We decided to keep watching and we all loved it--it was their first time watching it! Yay for cold, gray, rainy days when we can have special goodies and movies! Thunder, you are not invited to our next rainy day party.
