Tasia's 7th Birthday

I can't believe Tasia is already seven The years have gone by so fast. I can still remember her as a baby. What a beautiful girl she has become. She is such a treasure to have in our family. Always so helpful and sweet. She is great with her younger brothers and sister. She loves drawing and coloring and is a great artist. She also loves to read. We love her very much.

For her birthday she wanted a Princess castle. Jeff also decorated this cake and did another awesome job. So much better then my boring cakes. The kids love having something different for their cakes, since we have so many of them in October.

She loves her Daddy!!!

She loved her new dress. She looked beautiful in it.

Granpa Steve and some of the cousins.

Dandin's 3rd Birthday

One of Dandin's favorite things is Cars, so we decided to do a cars cake. Jeff did a great job decorating it. It looks very professional. The kids loved it, especially Dandin. Dandin is such a fun little boy. He loves animals and playing with his cousins. He is always happy. He brings so much joy to the family.

Cars cake and tire cupcakes.

He loves biting his lower lip.

Such a happy boy.

We also sang Happy Birthday to Jeff. He was gone on his birthday so we were not able to have a party just for him. He didn't mind sharing with his mini me. Jeff turned 32 this year.

Linnea's 1st Birthday

I can't believe my baby girl is already one. Time sure does fly by. Linnea is such a joy to have in our family. She has the cutest personality. She has everyone wrapped around her little finger. She gets whatever she want. I don't think I have had a happier baby. It is so fun to watch her grow up. I am very grateful to have her. I think Heavenly Father new that I needed to have her keep me company at night, since Jeff has had to work out of town.

My mom helped me make this cake for Linnea. She did most of the work. I think it turned out adorable. Linnea liked to look at it.

I want to grab it.

So Happy!

Not quite sure what to with the candle. But I like to stare at it.

Do I really have to get dirty? I think I will just poke it.

Once she got a taste of the cupcake, she was all for it.

What I mess I have made.

Jeff wanted a kiss, she was hiding.

Grandpa Steve helping Linnea(or Rosey, what Grandpa calls her) to open his gift to her. I love how she is looking up at him.

Having fun playing with this cow toy that makes animal noises. The next day she carried it around everywhere. It was so cute.

I love this picture of Linnea. So precious. Very pretty smile.

Mr. Cool!

Bat!

This lovely little creature decided to take a nap outside our front door. It was sleeping until Jeff took its picture. The kids were kind of scared of it, but at the same time they kept wanting to look at it.

Labor Day - Kolob

For Labor Day we decided to go to Kolob with my side of the family. The kids love it there. They love being outdoors. They like to fish with Grandpa and play with there cousins. They had a lot of fun and did not want to come home. I don't blame them. It is more fun outside then stuck at home.




Grandma DeWitt and Dandin

Dandin and Brooklinn playing so cute together.
She was determined to get him buckled up.

Ry loved playing with this bat.
