Happy 7th Birthday, Baby Girl! (With Pictures This Time, I Hope!)

Today is  my baby girl's 7th birthday.  She is still at the age where she expresses sheer delight in the gifts she receives.  It was so great to watch her express herself in an uninhibited manner.
Julissa is patiently waiting for her gifts and cards.

Happy Birthday, Alex

Happy Birthday, Alex! My baby boy turned 11 today.  He was thrilled with the lab coat that he got for his birthday.  We even had to take pictures of him with his cake while he was wearing it.

Happy Birthday, Briana!

Six years ago today our first girl entered this world. Where has time gone? Today we pause to celebrate with her. She along with her oldest brother set the dining room table with my winter china, tablecloth, and napkins. I forgot to get a picture until after the kids were at the table putting food on their plates, but if you use your imagination you can envision what it looked like before anyone sat down.
Again, I attempted to make a cake. As you can see I am definitely out of practice. I attempted to make a Pastel Four Layer Cake. I didn't use their icing recipe, but used my mom's instead. It has been so long since I had made it that I ended up with too thin of a consistency. It does not look near as pretty as the original picture looked. But it tasted good and I believe Briana was happy.


The kids getting ready to eat.


The cake!

Her excitement is building! She is opening her first gift of the day.

She loved the sweater!

We love you, Briana! And, we hope that you had a great day!

Love,

Dad and Mom

Happy Birthday, Samuel!

The Cake!

Julissa thinks it is her birthday!


Eight years ago today, Samuel came rushing into the world. He came so fast his face was bruised. While still in the delivery room he drank a half ounce of formula. His sugar was low and he needed food. He still seems to have that problem on occasion. His younger brother was sleeping through the night before he was. He would get up in the night to drink a cup of milk and then go right back to sleep. Two months after he was born we packed up and moved several hours north. We are still there today. He has basically known no other house than this one. He is my child who loves to read books of the wild west, indians, cowboys, etc. It is hard to believe eight years have gone by since his birth.
