Addison's 4th Birthday



The countdown is finally over, and addison's birthday has come and gone. The anticipation almost kills her every year, so we do our best to make it a special day for her. She was so excited to open her presents in the morning. She opened the ones from G&G Pierson and from us first and loved it all. She was on cloud 9!!
What a beautiful Cinderella!!!



She wanted a Cinderella cake of course, and although I am not a pro decorator...I did my best and she loved it so that is the most important thing!







Devin loved all the excitement and sang happy birthday all day long!



Addison really wanted a friends birthday party this year again, so she kept it pretty small. She had 3 little girls over and they were asked to dress up in their princess gear, and just happened to all show up as Cinderella. It was really cute. We had fun. We first we made jewel bracelets, then talked about princess edicate and had some snacks. Then we played some games and finished off with presents and cake. The girls seemed to have fun and Addison loved having them over.

In the evening we had a family birthday party with the Herrington's and Boutin's. We had Addie's favorite for supper, pizza, of course, and was excited to open up more presents after dinner.



Right after she opened her new jewelry and jewelry box from G&G Hatch she ran up to her room and reorganized all her necklaces. She loved it!

Hey Lee.....I wish this picture was not a little blurry, but besides that I love it. So cute!



Addie loves her Auntie Jocie!

Thanks to everyone for making the day so special for our little princess. She had a wonderful day and was obviously tuckered out because it is 9:39am and she is still in bed!! Our little sleeping beauty.
We love you Addie!

playing catchup...yet again


I love you all....and my little Addie, and in order to share her birthday with everyone, I had to play catchup to post some pictures of yesterday.

A tradition we have started over the past few years, is on Mother's day we feed the ducks. It is a fun way to make the day special and the kids really love it. it was kind of sad we had to wear winter jackets....but the weather is nice this week, so hopefully it sticks around this time.

Devin and his new favorite toy. His awesome surf bus. It just about NEVER leaves his side. It eats with us and sleeps with him. He loves buses.

Justin had a pretty quiet birthday this year. I think next year for his 30th we will have to do something big and exciting. He had a nice day though and loves his new heartrate monitor.

The kids got new outfits for Auntie Nanna's temple wedding. I love being all matchy-matchy.
Uncle Garth has been letting us come out and ride his horses. They are such gentle horses and we have all had a lot of fun learning how to ride.


Devin is just the sweetest little boy, and, like his sister has such a special place in his momy and daddy's hearts.We can't get enough of this little boy.
