Dru is 8!

I can't believe we have a child who is that old. It seems like yesterday she came into our lives.

I guess it is true, time flies when you are having fun.

Dru is...

THOUGHTFUL to the extreme!

We find little notes all over all the time.

Crazy CREATIVE!

She will craft for hours.

Super SMART!

She excels at school and does her very best.

PEACEMAKER!

She is always the first one to "give in" when there is a disagreement.

Loyal FRIEND!

She has a lot of good, sweet friends but her best friends are her sisters.

Huge HEART!

She has a big heart just like her daddy.

STRONG testimony!

She bears a sweet testimony every Monday at FHE.

Dru is BEAUTIFUL inside and out!

She makes being a mom so fun.

Happy Birthday Dru!

I love you!

St. Patrick's day turned out to be a very lucky day!

It started out with Liv loosing a tooth.

We found a box of Lucky Charms on our front porch.

It was covered with shamrocks filled with 2 dollar bills for each of the kids.

(Thanks Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Steve!)

Yummy green cupcakes.

Green pizza (dough) for dinner.

The snow has melted so the girls can finally start playing with their new cars.

Our awesome neighbor has two kids that haveoutgrown these toy cars and gave them to us.

Lucky us!

We had a major snow storm last night!

The girls were out the door this morning at 8:20a.m. to play in it.

I am not a huge fan of snow, but I have to admit it was beautiful this morning.

My trusty sewing ruler shows 13 inches!!

This little bird house is usually super high in the tree.

It was a heavy snow fall.

We are looking forward to the time when we all wear

cool looking shades, for real!

We are ready for SPRING!

Olivia was my sunshine on a rainy day.

I asked Liv how much she loved me and she held her arms out and said, "I love you more than my arms around my back AND more than 132."

Can't get better than that, right?

Owen's first haircut

Last night we took Owen to get his first real haircut. He was overdue.

How did it go? Well, let's just say his face did not look like the shirt he is wearing today!

It was 5 minutes of pure torture for him. He sat on my lap with a sucker in each hand screaming at the top of his lungs while I forced his head to stay still.

It was worth it! He looks so handsome!
