My bUsY, cRAzy, bEaUtiFul LiFE!!

I would really like to update according to the week but my weeks are so blurred together I have no idea what week it is. Maybe I will try to figure that out for my next post...we'll see!

This past month we have celebrated and celebrated! We have so many birthdays in March, 3 of them being my children, 2 of our Grandmas, and 2 nephews. IT IS A CRAZY busy month.

On the 17th we celebrated Caleb's 3rd birthday. We had a small birthday for him, but it was fun for him. We ate hot dogs and made a Buzz Light-year cake. He got Tinker toys, a water gun, A Lightning McQueen car, a car poster and new McQueen swimming trunks. He also got MANY toys from family.
One funny story about Caleb...My Mom gave Caleb a Buzz toy that talks. One of the things Buzz says is "Star Command...do you copy?" After Buzz said that Caleb looked at my Mom and said "Grandma we don't drink copy" we laughed so hard! I am so glad he has listened to some of what we try to teach him!
One other story about this boy...the other day we we going to Idaho Falls and I sent Caleb downstairs to get dressed. When he came upstairs he had on jeans, a polo shirt and a white undershirt. I told him how nice he looked and he smiled and showed me his undershirt and said "Look Mom, these are my garments." So cute!



On the 30th we celebrated Emily's birthday. Most of our family came over for her birthday. She is cute because she enjoys her Grandmas, Grandpas, Aunt and Uncles almost as much as new presents. She got new playdough, new clothes, a princess poster and a stuffed animal lobster. And MANY great things from family, including Tangled. I LOVE that show!
A cute story about this girl...A few months ago we watched The Incredible Mr. Limpet she LOVED it. On the show it has a crab named Krusty (She thought it was Rusty) and Crusty would say "Flatbush" and it made Emily laugh every time for some odd reason. So for her birthday she wanted that crab. I did my best and settled for a lobster. She loved it! We often call Emily "Giggle britches" because she laughs so easy and it is so contagious! We love this girl!


In the picture below Emily is modeling her new clothes and play make-up she got for her birthday. I thought she looked WAY too cute!



One other highlight of our lives is Nathan's Baby Blessing. Ben blessed him last week at church.It was special. For Nathan's blessing outfit he wore Ben's blessing outfit,, a sweater and booties my Mom crocheted and gorgeous blanket my Mom also crocheted.  THANK YOU MOM, I LOVED THEM! One day they will be as special to him as they are to me! He looked so handsome and his blessing was very special, Ben did a great job!





In this picture I had just picked Nathan up and he was so excited to see me, it made me so happy!! We love that boy.

Thats is all for now...coming next post, our trip to Bear World and LOTS of Baby Smiles!!!!

What cute babies we have!!! I can't believe how fast Nathan has grown - he looks so old . . .with red hair! Caleb and Emily looks so big and so cute - I know that their grandmas, just love to spoil them with hugs and kisses! I just love the picture of Nathan grinning at you! After going through all the old pictures today, I can see soooo much of his mama in him!!
