Nada's Birthday

My baby turned one! She's a real sweetheart and so much fun. Nada loves her big sister and brother and likes to play with them in sight. She knows how to sign several words, including "eat," "milk," "please," and "all done." Oh, how we love this little light in our lives!



A sprinkle came off!




"All done!"






I was trying to get Nada to open a present with Joshua, but I accidentally said, "Get Joshua." So...she got him.

Here's a little video of Nada clapping, dancing, and showing off her standing-without-holding-on-to-anything skills.

Kara's Birthday

My oldest child just turned 5. What's going on here? Time is evil. But I love Kara. She's a really big help and a good older sister. She loves to read, and I'm afraid that Kindergarten won't challenge her. She didn't have a party with friends this year, which was fine with her. She'll get one next year. In case you're wondering what the cake is supposed to be, it's a purple cat, per request. Happy birthday, Kara Lynn!

Rodeo Days

We all had fun walking the rodeo grounds on President's Day. The kids had a great time, and the weather was much nicer than last year. We packed a lunch and stayed for a good four hours. I love this family activity.

Kara and Joshua loved the carousel!

Nada was getting pretty tired.


riding "horses"





Joshua is saying "cheese." Can you tell he has a lisp? :)


Poor baby was SO tired from being carried around all day. Wouldn't you be?

Kara insisted on having her pic taken here.

Joshua fell asleep with a silicone bracelet in his mouth.

Kids Playing

I spied on K and J without them knowing I was there. I think Kara was singing a song that she was making up.
