HAPPY BIRTHDAY PEYTON!!

Back on April 10th my little girl turned 2! Happy Birthday Sis! We love you and are so grateful for you being in our lives. You bring so much happines and laughter to us. This is the funnest stage they are learning to talk and their personalities start to shine. I love how happy you are and how much you love life! I love watching you and Caleb play together and be buddies. I love our nightime ritual and everytime I leave the room you tell me "I wuv you mommy!" I love how exciting you get when your daddy gets home from work. I love your kind words you always use and you know how to turn the charm on when you really want something. I love how you always are helping me clean the house (we have a clean fetish in common) and how you take such great care of all your babies! I love you sis and hope you had a great 2nd birthday.

For her party we just had a little get together

with my family and some friends.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

She is obssesed with Strawberry Shortcake so we had a "bob bob" party as she would call it. I am not a fan of characters so I found this little dress that had strawberries on it, so I let her wear that and she loved it. Now every morning she thinks she gets to wear her "bob bob" dress.

The whole set up of Strawberry
We had a chocolate fountain, boy that was sure a hit from the kids.

My sister Loni made this cute cake for her.

Caleb "helping" her open her presents.

She got all kinds of Strawberry stuff and so much more. Thanks to everyone for giving her a present. She loves them all!

EASTER EGG HUNT!

Quinn's parent have a egg hunt every year in their neighborhood so we went up there on Saturday. Caleb got robbed they split the groups up and since he just turned 5 he went to the other lawn with the 5 to 10 year olds. Lets just say the older kids ruled the younger ones. I think he walked away with a whopping 3 but he didn't care, so thats all that matters. Peyton and Caleb getting ready to walk over to the egg hunt.
Peyton getting all her eggs. It was fun this year with her because she was excited and could run around getting them herself.

Peyton enjoying all her many eggs. She kicked her brothers butt when it came to getting eggs!!

SWEET HAIR SIS!!

Peyton has always had some funky hair. It is way long and thick in the back but nothing up front, but watcha gonna do about that, but anyways a couple of mornings ago we woke up to this pretty DO!! I had to take some pictures to torment her later in life. Love it!
The best part was how normal she thought she looked!

This is kind of her new smile, gotta love it!

LOVE YOU GRAMPS!!

These got all out of order, but I do not want to redo them. On April 3rd we layed my sweet Grandpa to rest. It was a very great funeral and brought alot of closure for me and my family. It's always nice to have behind you and now we can just hang on to the many memories we had with him!

I LOVE YOU GRAMPS!! This was to funny! After we got up to the cementary the hurst broke. We said if Gramps was here he would be right over there helping them out. He was always willing to help anyone and everyone!
We did not take the kids to the funeral just the viewing so here they are next to "old" grandpa, (old grandpa is what Caleb would call him). Caleb was very interested in his death and really wanted to see him, then once he saw him he was OK and we (well Quinn) tried to explain to him where Gramps was going. That was a treat to watch but every single night since his viewing Caleb will pray for Gramps who went to heaven and then pray that Mom won't be sad anymore. So sweet!!

It was so freezing cold. It was raining/snowing all day, not fun!

WE WILL MISS YOU GRAMPS!!

With a very sad and heavy heart I write this post. My sweet Grandpa passed away this morning. He was one of the most active and healthy gramps out there so this came as a surprise to all of us. Sunday morning my mom called and said it was not looking good so I headed down to the hospital. We have such a great and supporting family that we were all there to laugh, cry and hold each other up in these VERY hard times. I have never enjoyed each others company so much and I know my Grandpa was there with all of us. We all got to say goodbye to him and let him know how loved he was. He is on to better things, like seeing my Grandma who has been waiting very paitently for 12 years to be with him, give her a hug and kiss from all of us. I know speaking from the whole family we sure are going to miss him so much. This sand dunes trip coming up will not be the same without you, but you will not be forgotten. I love you and miss you so much!! He is on the top row on the left(this is a very old picture but it is all I had)

"WOW I THINK I LIKE IT!"

I have been wanting to redo Calebs room forever but just never got around to it so for his birthday I thought we would surprise him with a new room. He has always said he wanted a Jazz room so I found a lady who could sew stuff on the comforter. I wanted the real Jazz logo but due to copyrighting she could not so we did our best to match it. We sent him off to school and got started, my Dad came up and hung everything while Quinn took him to Boondocks, then when he came home we took him up to see his surprise and it was priceless. He walked in and was like, "I think I like it!" But he does, him and Peyton play up there for hours now on the hoop (so he can get as good as D-will of course). I love how it turned out and I think it will be able to grow with him forever. His new bed!
Quinn was able to get his D-Will jersey signed

We got a "Do you measure up to D-will poster" he loves to see how tall he is getting and if he is as big as D-will (pretty much his idol if you haven't got that)
