MY BABY BLUES!!!

Rylee has VERY blue eyes right now.

I know they can change but I am enjoying them

as much as I can.

She has a lot of red in her hair.

Rylee has been such a blessing in our lives.

The girls LOVE Rylee and whenever she is

cranky, waking up from a nap, or talking

all the girls are at her side.

She has been a good sleeper and is starting to sleep

longer during the night.

WE LOVE YOU MISS RYLEE ANNE!

Who needs a camp fire for Smores!

Sunday night Bakersfield Stake was highlighting the kids turning 8 this year.

I can't believe my baby is going to be baptized this year and she'll be

going to Activity Days!!!

I'm feeling a little old...

Last weekend was a busy weekend.

Leah had her birthday party for her friend Livia

and later that night Alison and Emma had a

birthday party for their friends

Olivia and Kati Hess.

Leah's party was fun. I think Leah had fun

being out all by herself and was able to play with her friends from

church. It was fun watching her.

Alison and Emma's party was so much fun and

Heather did a GREAT job with decorations, dinner and games.

Heather made Owls for all 20 girls that attended the party.

She wrapped them and each girl unwrapped an owl

and there was a poem that went with the owl.

After Heather read the poem, the girls had to think of a name

for their owl and they received adoption papers

with the name of the owl and their name.

SO CUTE!

Alison got a Giggle owl and named her "Giggles"

Emma got Snowy owl and named her "Snowy"

(Cute names Huh?)

We had a lot of fun and I'm really sad I didn't get any pictures of the

girls together. I will have to take some later.

Leah's friend Livia had a birthday party

last weekend. It was a "Tinkerbell"

theme and everything was so cute!

Leah had a lot of fun.

(I put the pictures on backwards. sorry)

Last week we had Erin's kids over one afternoon and

I got a couple pictures of them playing.

It was a lot of fun having them over and the girls

had a blast!

New Years Eve

New Years Eve we stayed in

and partied!

Well...the girls and Ryan played card games,

the girls danced with the WII and then watched some movies on

Netflix. Around 9:30pm the girls started falling asleep one by one.

First Natalie, then Leah and Emma

started to fall asleep around 11:30 but made it till midnight.

I think this was the first time the girls watched the ball drop which was kinda

funny cause they were wondering who was going to catch the ball.

Cute!
