Chinese New Year

Happy Chinese New Year!

Last year I was in China on this holiday.  I will never forget it and am so thankful I got to experience it!  This year, we took the kids out for dumplings to celebrate.

Showering

We had fun showering my sister with baby gear to prepare for the arrival of her newest little bundle!

We can't wait to meet Elleigh Kate!

V-Day Parties

The kids had a fun afternoon at their school Valentine's Day parties!

Complete Hodgepodge

This post is complete hodgepodge!  A ton of random phone pictures (which is pretty much all I take lately).

The Boys Mission Organization at church hosted a bake sale to raise money for World Missions.

Movie night on our bed!

This little girl got bronchitis and an ear infection.

The breathing machine has been working overtime this season!

We celebrated the 100th Day of School!

Barrett got glasses for reading and wearing at school.

We've had fun watching these boys play ball!

Brynn snuggling in the quilt Duby made her.

 Last game of the season!

 The boys grew so much in the game of basketball!  We are already looking forward to next season!

 There you have it.  A random update of the happenings of the last several months!

Double Digits

Blake's big day arrived with excitement!  He was the big 10 this year!  He woke up to the traditional birthday balloons.

 He got a new hoodie from us.  He was very excited about it!

 For his family birthday dinner, he chose El Chico.  They sang to him and gave him a big sopapilla. 

 Later in the week, Robert and I took him out for a special dinner, just the three of us.  Hitting double digits is a pretty big deal!

Robert took he and his friend Jaxson to ride go-carts in lieu of a birthday party.

Blake made us parents for the first time 10 years ago.  We can't believe how quickly the time has gone by.  We are so proud of the young man he is becoming!  He will always be our sweet little sunshine!  We love you Blakey Boo!!

Kaleb's Birthday

Our little K-Cup, short and stout celebrated his third birthday last week.  We had a small party with our family the weekend before his birthday.

He was so excited about his party!

Singing Happy Birthday and blowing out his candle.

 Kaleb wrapped Robert and I up in a hug and said, "I love you too much.  I so happy".  Talk about melt your heart!  We are so thankful that his heart is healing!

 On the morning of his birthday, he woke up to our traditional birthday balloons.  He was so excited that he was three, and had the birthday balloons to prove it! 

Happy Birthday to our little K-Cup!  So much personality packed in such a little package!  We love this little guy dearly!

Brynn's Birthday

Brynn and I went birthday shopping the day before her birthday.  She wanted to get some clothes for her Build-A-Bears.

 We went for a tasty treat when we were done shopping. 

 On the morning of her birthday, she woke up to our traditional birthday balloons!

 She was on our morning announcements at school.

 Her teacher spayed her with Silly String.

 After school, we invited her friend to come play for a little bit.

 She chose Chinese food for her special family birthday dinner.

 Happy Birthday to our beautiful daughter!  We are so proud of her and love her so much!
