Rhett 1st birthday!

October 18th was Rhett's first birthday! We had our family over for the usual cake and ice cream. Rhett wasn't into unwrapping the gifts but he loved all that he got. He hasn't stopped playing with everything. Thanks everyone! It was a fun day for him! I just can't believe that it has been 1 year already!








So the other night I was doing dishes after dinner and Josh says, "Amber hurry quick!" and this is what I see...apparently he didn't get enough for dinner:)(he's holding a leftover pancake from breakfast, and digging for the leftover cake I through away after dinner)



I'm always reading books to the kids and usually when I read, Rhett will go sit down in his car seat and just listen. Well this time I had read enough so I gave the book to Josh and before we knew it Rhett was cuddling in with all of them on the floor for his own story time. He is such a cutie.


We finally had our first real snow! We woke up last Sunday to this...the kids were so excited. I love it when it starts to snow and the holidays are just around the corner.


Our kids are growing so fast and I'm not one to pack my camera everywhere, but lately I have been trying to do better. These are just some random pics of the kids that I thought were cute...

My mother-in-laws 50 birthday cake...

I know all of my friends will never believe that I made this cake but I did, with the help of my friend Leslie. This was her second time and my first. It was very easy to do but very time consuming. From start to finish we probably spent 13-14 hours. It is all real cake too. (about 7 cake mixes)It was so much fun to do. We even made our own edible fondant. We learned how to make this cake by watching cake shows like "the challenge" and online step by step movies. In the end it turned out perfect and it even held together and tasted great. We were so proud of ourselves! And believe me if I can make this cake anyone can!

Her Hannah Montana Birthday Party!

She has been so excited for this day to come. If you have young girls you'll know all about the Hannah Montana obsession! So of course the decorations and cake were a must have. We invited all our family over for cake and ice cream. She had a really fun day and was spoiled with way to many gifts. She'd like you to see all of them but I think we have enough pictures so instead I randomly posted a few. No offense if yours isn't shown:)THANKS everyone for coming. We had so much fun. That night after everyone had left she said "mom, I had a really fun birthday!" Chloe,her cousin stayed for a sleep over and those two talked and played till well after midnight. Talk about the perfect day!

KIERRA IS 5!!!

August 18, was Kierras birthday! To start the day out, Josh took her out to breakfast for a little date. She was so excited! She loves spending time with her daddy.


Later we went up to the Rexburg water park. We had all her cousins come up to play. They had so much fun. It was the perfect day to play in the water. Grandpa got everyone pizza for lunch...so yummy!
