It's a Girl!

For those of you who don't know, we are expecting our fifth baby at the end of September. We just found out that it is going to be a girl. Yeah!!! We are so excited. So we will have two boys and three girls. I am sure it will be a challenge to have five, but none the less we are excited. Also, for those who don't know we have had a foster girl living with us for the last four months and will probably have her for another 9 months. Her name is Autumn and she is fifteen. So far it has gone well and we are enjoying having her in our home. Sorry for not posting in awhile, life has been pretty crazy. Hopefully I can get back to posting more.

Ryland's 5th Birthday!

Well we are finally done with all the birthday's. We had the final one tonight. Ryland turned five years old. He is such a special boy. He is full of energy. He loves animals, playing sports, and being with family and friends. He is a great helper and he loves to serve people. We love him very much.

For his birthday, Ry wanted a basketball cake. Once again Jeff decorated it. Thank goodness. I think it turned out great.

Ry and Daddy at the park.

What handsome boys I have.

Grandpa Steve got Ryland a light saber. He loves it. He even took it with him to bed.

Having fun with Daddy.

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.

Playing with Grandpa Steve

What a cutie!

Daddy's little girl.

Very sassy when she wants to be.

Ry and his Mickey Mouse.

Grandpa and Dandin

The kids love to play tick talk like a clock.

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

Attacking Grandpa.

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.
