A few more things to add

President's Day the kids had off of school and we were invited out to the lake for some icy fun with Kelley, Kristin and the kids.  We had a great time chatting it up with Grannie, Uncle Jon and Uncle Steve while the kids all played out on the frozen lake.  That idea was a little scary for me (the first timer) being this is our first experience here in the winter but the men folk all gave it the "ok" and off they slid. :)  They had a blast and have been asking to go back ever since.  We even managed a small dance party and got everyone to pose for some pics.

These 3 are so cute and Gavin loves being the only boy I'm sure just like his Daddy did. ;)

Gavin, Bryn, and Elle

Paige slept so I was able to go out and see the action up close and do a little dancing of my own to embarrass mostly Grace let's be honest. ;)

 

 Here are Justin's sweet cousins Kelley and Kristin.

 

All the kiddos.

Haylee and Gavin

And the rest of the time we were inside playing with this sweet girl. :)  It was a very fun day off of school for everyone.

 

 

A few weeks ago we had all of our kids dedicated at church, it was very sweet.  We had meant to do it before now but had not really had the opportunity so we figured while we were having Paige's we would do them all.  It was a good reminder for us that we have been so blessed with these four amazing kids and are just praying that we can raise them to love the Lord and want to live their lives for Him.

I can't say "my girls" anymore when I see these two because I have another one now but this is what comes to mind and I couldn't believe how big they were looking and how TALL Grace is!  She's almost got me......I yi yi am I ready for this?????

I will just go back to this sweet face and soak in every moment when I remember this all goes way too fast! :)

 



Days are flying by.........

Life is good these days but seems to fly by.  I see the pictures I'm posting and it makes me sad that Paige is already so big.  We spend our days mostly at home hanging out or getting house projects done.  Gavin is a big help for me and it's crazy but so exciting to think we just got him registered for kindergarten next year! He is very excited.

 

 

Teaching Paige a thing or two. ;)

She loves her big brother.

 

Grace's hair for crazy hair day......if you couldn't figure that one out. ;)

Playing dress up.

 

These are the booties my Mom made for Paige when she was here.  They are already too small. :(

Haylee's teddy bear and Paige's first bear.

Jake likes to be where the action is.

Paige loves it but Jake thinks he's crazy. 

 

Valentine's day we headed in to to drop off some goodies to Haylee's class.  She was pretty cute with the kids wanting to show them off.

We had a quiet dinner at home with the kids for our special day and had a very nice evening.  I served a very red themed dinner and we opened up our valentine box full of surprises.  Justin did sweet coupons good for a special one on one date with Daddy. He also got me a new study bible which I've been wanting so I was thrilled. :)  I have some pretty great valentine's I must say.

 

I will hopefully get caught up with the next post and maybe even get a few house projects posted but for now I am soaking in the spring weather, sunshine, and my sweet baby girl. :)
