Elli's Graduated!

We had Elli's Graduation last night at our house... it was fun, I think the parts they liked best were... the Scooby-Doo movie we showed to stall for one of the graduates who was running late and the cupcakes, the rest was minor details. We love you Elli great job on your first year of

pre-school!

(pictured are the cupcakes only because I tried my hand at a new thing...gum paste, so fun but quite time consuming. The graduate hat and scrolls are made of it...I also made butter cream frosting with meringue powder wow I felt like a pro!)

Out with the Old...In with the New!

The New..well at least new to us KIA Sedona!

May we never have to use the warranty you came with!

Yes after 3 and a half glorious years we had to say good-bye to our

good ole' GMC Safari and purchase... well you guessed it another van!

Thanks for all the great road trips and fun memories...may you not die in the first week on your next owner!

The perfect Sunday evening...

To finish off our glorious Sabbath we made banana splits and sat in our backyard and enjoyed the perfect evening that it was...Elli in true Elli fashion brought me a flower and this one happened to be taller than her, Gwyn brought smiles to all our faces with High fives and amazing tricks, and Abbi turned into the "jungle girl". It is always so good when we get to be together as a whole family! How grateful I am to have so many wonderful blessings in my life!

My Little *Freezin'* Models

So all three girls got to be in a photo shoot for some products and let me just say...all things considered they were troopers!
It was freezing and they were wearing white shirts and tu-tu's with flip flops...some of the shots were even in swimsuits on the beach.
I think it got to around 49 degrees and windy windy windy! But It was a fun experience -now I know to bring heaters and more blankets what was I thinking?

I guess we could tell you...

Well it's been a crazy month ...but better late than never. Yes it's true we are so excited to have another girl! We'll get Dan something male...at some point, it may be a fish!

Seven Glorious Years!

So I'm slow...Yesterday we celebrated our 7th anniversary. So in honor of the seven years I thought I'd do what I see on other people's blogs the 1-7 list.

1. Number of times I've seen Dan cry :)

2. Number of Cars we've owned(although that might be changing here real quick!)

3.Number of children we currently have outside the womb

4. The highest size of diaper any of our children have worn

5. Number of places we've lived

6. The number of times Dan's (several) alarm clocks go off before he gets out of bed!

7. The number of months it took Dan to propose to me!

Thanks Dan for the best 7 years of my life. You are an amazing man and I am so glad I get

to tromp through this world with you. Happy 7th!
