Happy Birthday Brigham!!

Brigham's birthday was last Saturday. He is 3 now, though we're having a hard time convincing him of it. For a while there he was still convinced he was two. Then, when Nonna asked him how old he was on his birthday he told her he was four. The other day he told me he was five. So, I think we've confused him. But, the past two days he seems to be getting it.

Brigham wanted waffles for breakfast.


Here's the cake I made him. (pretty much the same as Rebekah's but different colors)

Another cake difference-I made it two colored with three layers.
(I got the idea from my friend, Teresa)



I thought this was funny, the gift bag was almost as big as he was.

He had a great day, he loved all the attention. The children are still singing the happy birthday song to each other at random times, which is delighting to hear. They're turning into quite the little singers. :)

Vacation for a wedding

We spent 10 days on the road and are sure glad to be home again. We made a lot of stops and visited with a lot of people. The main reason for our trip was for my sister, Tasha's wedding. She got married on the 1st of September.

Here are a few pictures of the children we took before the wedding.

Brigham was asked to be the ring bearer. He did a great job for how tired he was.

Tasha was beautiful all dressed in her wedding attire.

This road trip went a little better than the last as far as the children being in their car seats. They were a little more used to the idea of sitting in their seats all day, and therefore new what to expect when we talked about it ahead of time. They still got fussy from time to time, but that's to be expected with toddlers.

It was sure nice to visit with all the family and friends, though! Thanks to all of you who housed and fed us. :)

Rebekah's Birthday!

Rebekah's birthday was on August 26th. We had a great day, celebrating with her. We started out with some birthday crowns.

Followed by one of her favorite breakfasts- hot cereal. (That girl can eat almost as much hot cereal as I can!)


I made this cake for her the night before. I'm not very good, but I'm learning.



We played all day and got ready for her party in the afternoon. Her birthday party was after dinner. We sang, ate cake and ice cream and she got to open a few presents.




Our gift to her was a toddler bed.

She was very excited!
