Benson's first Birthday!!!

We had a Party with Gracie and Hayden since they all turn on this month. This is all three of them. Hayden face planted the cake and Benson's slowly picked at it and Gracie would not even taste it. They are the cutest things ever. We had such a good time.






Yes folks the day came and went way to fast!! On March 12th my sweet baby boy turned 1!!! I still feel like he should be 4 months old. I can not believe how fast that year went. We Celebrated his birthday party once with Jared's family and once with my family. Here is the cake pictures!!!

Happy Birthday Parker!!!

So on Saturday March 6th Parker turned 9 years old!!! I can not believe how fast he has grown. He wanted a Halo cake for his birthday so i called up my good friend Kristin and she came and helped me make this cake. It was lots of fun. He just wanted to have his friends over to play the wii and the 360 ( boys are so easy to please)Parker has been ready all the Percy Jackson books so Jared and I got him the set for his birthday and he loved it. We had his party on Friday so on Saturday we took him out to breakfast and then out to ice cream later that day with Jared's parents and then we took him to Kmart to spend his money that he got for his birthday. It was a busy day, all in all i think he had a good birthday. Love you Parker:)

Blue and Gold banquet

Last week Parker had a blue and gold banquet for scouts, the theme was Boy Scouts Of America's 100th Birthday!! so all the boys had to make a cake with their Dad's. It was lots of fun to watch Parker and Jared come up with the idea of what kind of cake to make. They worked great as a team and they even won an award for their cake. It was lots of fun, we had a spaghetti dinner and then sang some songs, gave out awards and ate all the yummy cakes. It was a great night.

I'm a VIP in my Family

So Austin got to be the VIP in his class last week and Jared and I got to go watch him show his poster to his class. It was lots of fun!! He got to use this pointer that had a hand on the end with the pointer finger sticking out and he would point to his pictures and tell the class what they were about. Then the class would raise their hands and Austin would call and them and answer there questions. It was really cute to here all the questions that the kids would ask him. Kids are so funny, they all raise their hands at the same time and one kid would ask " what is your favorite color" then Austin would answer and then call on the next kid and they would ask the same question. They were so excited to ask a question that they didn't pay attention to the questions that were being asked. So funny!! Austin did a great job and had lots of fun making his poster. Austin we love you so much and can not believe how big you are getting.

Happy Birthday Austin

I can not believe how fast kids grow up. Austin in now 6 years old!!!! He had a fun day. Austin dose not really like cake so this year we made a rice crispy treat cake.( Thanks Mandy for your help with that.) It turned out cute and he loved it.

Sledding

Last week we went over to my sister Sherry's and we went sledding. We hooked a sled up to the car and pulled the kids down a long dirt road, they had lots of fun. Austin was getting really crazy and trying to make the sled go all over the road. He is very brave!! Thanks Sherry for letting us come and have fun with you guys!!!

Oh Christmas Tree

Well we finally got our tree up. I have felt so busy the last little while and i just fell behind on getting our tree out of storage. So last Saturday Parker and Austin went with me to dig all the Christmas stuff out of storage ( they are such good helpers). First i had to clean my whole house before i could put up the tree so again they helped me with that. Then they helped me put the tree together and test all the lights and help me put those on as well. Then they decorated the tree and Daddy helped Austin put on the angel and turn her on. Then we let Benson sit by the tree to check it out. He would touch it very softly and just look at it.....for about 5 minutes, then he was grabbing the branch and shaking it :) I must say one of my favorite things to do is turn off all the lights at night and just have the tree lights on. Oh by the way that is Benson's chezzer smile:) we love it. Merry Christmas!!!
