Ashlee was so excited for her princess party.  She talked about it for a month before it came.  She had her friends dress up in their princess or superhero clothes and they all looked so cute.  We had princess cupcakes and a princess jumper.  It was a great party for our sweet little princess!

She's 4!

Our sweet baby girl just turned 4!  Wow time has flown.  This is her cake she had for her family party and then a few days later she had a princess party with her friends.

Facts about the birthday girl:
Her favorite color is pink.
She loves Dora, Princesses and Hello Kitty.
She loves her preschool class.
2 new things she has started is gymnastics and swimming all by herself.
Her favorite food is strawberries.
She is very talkative and social. (something new to us since her brothers are pretty quiet)
She is such a big helper.  Right now she is into helping me clean the bathrooms.  Cant wait until she is older and can really clean them:).
She is such a little peacemaker.

We love our little princess and all the joy she brings our family!

Arlan's Birthday

Daddy, Ashlee and Jaron with his favorite icecream cake.

Arlan celebrated his 38th Birthday back in April.  On his actual birthday he was at work so he did most of his celebrating the weekend before. He went golfing with some friends,  went to a Laker game and we did a double date with his brother.

Arlan is an amazing Father and Husband.  We are so lucky to have him in our lives!

We had a great Easter.  The night before Easter the kids decorated eggs.  The next morning the kids were so excited to wake up and see that the Easter bunny had come.  He even ate the carrots and lettuce they left out for him!  Then it was off to church in our Easter best(which i dont think i even got a pic of this year).  After church we headed to my brothers house and had a great dinner and fun egg hunt. 

Story Time

A couple days ago Ashlee and Bryson were playing in her bedroom. After about 10 minutes of it being really quiet I thought I better go check and see what mess they were into. As I opened the door Ashlee looks up and says "Mommy shhh my babies are having storytime. " It was so cute and funny to see Bryson included as one of her "babies". It's so fun to see their bond as he is getting older.

Big Bear - Feb trip

This winter has not brought much snow. So when a storm came in last weekend we knew we wanted to take advantage and head to the cabin. We had a fun time sledding and playing in the snow.

Valentine Activities

My sweet little man enjoying his valentine treat. For Valentines this year the kids really got into making heart cookies. We gave those out to their teachers. On Valentines night Arlan and I went out for dinner and to see the movie "The Vow". It was a great night and always fun to have some alone time. While we were out the kids did their Valentines scavenger hunt. A tradition we do every year. It was a great Valentines!
