Sarah turns 4!

Sarah had quite the birthday this year! it started last Thursday evening when we went to dinner with Grandma Kate and Grandpa Ray. She got to open one present then and got a ice cream sundae! Then Saturday morning we went to breakfast with grandma and grandpa before they went back to Flagstaff and she got to open more presents! Yesterday, we started the day by going to IHOP with Grandma Barb and opening her new baking set, including handmade aprons from grandma! Then she had her friend Natalie over to spend the night, we had birthday cake and she got her new play kitchen for her bedroom. She certainly was a very spoiled little girl this year!

I think it took her a full 60 seconds to blow out all four candles!!

Graduation Day!

Kindergarten Graduation...well, I guess it has to be done. =) It was actually very nice and since they combined it with the high school graduation we got to kill two birds with one stone. Congratulations Dillon, Katie, and Rachel!!

Anna's big day!

So Anna turned one! You wouldn't know it by listening to her words (she only says dada), or watching her walk... (she's not even close), but she is definitely one. She certainly enjoyed her party, which we had a day early since Uncle Michael and Aunt Kody were over. And she really enjoyed her cake!

Happy Birthday Anna!

Daddy's Turkey

Thank you Grandma Kate for watching the babies! We had such a fun time being able to not worry about changing diapers and crawling in the dirt. We love you!

Fair Day!

Back in April we took the family to the county fair for the day! We looked at the exhibits, bought an elephant ear and cotton candy, rode some rides and saw the tiger show! We got to meet up with some of our friends for the rides so Dillon had a buddy to go with. All in all we had a really fun, and tiring day.

Watching the Budweiser carriage and horses, wow, those things are huge!

Poor Nina wasn't quite tall enough to ride anything but the ferris wheel. =(

You can certainly tell each kid's personality from the look on their faces!

The ride home...

Fishing Trip

So off we went to Flagstaff so Daddy and Dillon could take a fishing trip with Grandpa! They had a lot of fun, and so did us girls with Grandma back at the house!

Nina turns 2!

Well, she turned 2 a couple weeks ago, but who's counting? We just had a quiet family party at home with cupcakes and presents. She is still singing "happy birthday to nina!" every once in a while. It's quite cute! Her favorite gift was the baby doll grandma Barb and Grandpa Ivan gave her. She named it Abby and carries it with her everywhere.She hasn't quite figured out how old she is, she still says she's 3. I think because that's the answer she hears Sarah give.
