Happy Birthday

Miss Emma turned three.  She is such a sweet little girl. She has tons of personality, is very opinionated and can hold her own with her siblings. Her favorite food is a peanut butter and banana sandwich. She loves any book that has things you have to find in it. Her favorite movie is Frozen and she can sing every song all the way through. She loves going to nursery and because of the new baby everything is "when she was born".

Miss Malaya turned 9 in April.  We didn't have a camera at that time and we spent her birthday with my brother and his wife who were blessing their baby and celebrating their daughter Ellie's first birthday.  Luckily Grandma Darla was a little late sending birthday gifts so we were able to get a few pictures of her opening gifts. 

Grandma Darla doesn't want anyone to feel left out so she sent a little gift for Natalie and Steven too. 

Alice in Wonderland Jr.

This year Malaya decided to try out for the school play. She really enjoyed all the practices and the friends that she was able to make. We were very impressed with the production and all the opportunities that they were able to give the kids. They even some of the kids running the lights and sound. 

Steven's Preschool Graduation

Steven loved preschool this year. He was so excited every time they sent him home with homework. He made lots of friends and loved learning.  Preschool graduation was bittersweet for mom. It is fun to watch him grow up and change but it means he is growing up.  

 I love this sweet little man.

Sweet kids

I realized that I am way behind on blogging. Not really a big deal but I like to print it off at the end of the year and have a good history of what we did that year.  It is much easier to remember what was going on and journal about it when you do it right away. Anyway I was going through pictures and found these.  They reminded me once again how lucky I am to be a mom. I am not sure who took the pictures or if there was anything special going on but these photos are so sweet that I wanted to share.

Easter Sunday

 I had so much fun making the kids Easter outfits this year.  I started making them in February but still ended up making Emma's dress the night before. It was totally worth it though. She loved having matching dresses!

Easter Saturday!
