Take 5

 

So here's 5 things you might not know about Julian:

1. He is very loving. If Tanner or I am laying on the couch he snuggles right by us. 

2. He loves to listen to Tanner's music. He'll turn it on & stay by the computer and listen for hours.

3. He like his soup blended. I think it's a texture thing.

4. He's terribly shy when it comes to group settings.

5. He loves Liam and River so much and calls Riv "sweety" most of the time. 

Julian is a good friend and I appreciate his pleasant nature. Much love to our cute little boy :)

 Happy Birthday Rivey!

After making that dolly, I had enough material to make Riv a little matching dress!

not pictured: my heart melting in half

 The boys had a "dirt" for their 1st birthdays, so we thought this would work for River's. 

For maximum mess, add chocolate pudding in blobs throughout the dirt. 

What about J? His big day is next week, so let's keep this party going!

Liam is 7!

My friend drove up and helped me make cakes yesterday, since I have a few to do :) Liam's cake totally rocked.

 

Liam will learn how to fly fish this summer from the best (and handsome and sweet etc.) coaches!

There is nothing but a dirt field over the white fence, perfect for practice.

We invited a few super heroes to come. My brother's wife Christine made these herself! 

 

Liam is such a great big brother. He loves to share his birthday with Riv. We're so grateful he is in our lives. 

Birthdays!

River is turning 1 on Saturday! We love her so much!

 Liam and Julian have birthdays too, so we're having a little get together. Last year was the worst birthday ever for them, so this year we need some redemption! If you're in town, please stop by!

 Here's what I found on Etsy for the boy's gifts.

... and the dolly I made for River's gift. 

We visited an old friend a couple weeks ago too. We're going to give Liam something else that he can use on the rivers. Can't wait!

Easter Sunday

Right before church I snapped this shot- I was so happy it turned out. These kids mean so much to me and Tanner. We are definitely so blessed.

I'm grateful to know that Christ was resurrected and that we all will be resurrected again too. We hope you enjoyed your Easter weekend!
