Moment by moment...

My goal for this blog is to document the sweet joy of our everyday lives. I hope to be able to use this blog to reflect back on when I FINALLY get to scrapbook my childrens' lives. I hope you enjoy looking at our pictures half as much as we enjoy the moments in the pictures. xxx

Gavin's Party!!

Gavin wanted a Rocket Ship birthday cake for his birthday...so guess what he got???  A Rocket Ship birthday cake!!!  He and Emma helped me make it!!  Of course!!! xxx



Gavin celebrated his 4th birthday with all his friends a week early at Jumpin' Jammin'!!  He, along with everyone else, had a wonderful time.  


Uncle Brian and Gavin...I am guessing they are trying to shoot Nani and Papa or Daddy!!!  Whatever they are doing though...they can't disguise the fun they are having with those huge smiles!!!


Emma and Reiley...our neighbor , who is the daughter of my high school best buddy Terra!!


Hmmm...maybe he'll like surfing!!!

Gavin was VERY shy about having the Happy Birthday song sung to him, but it was one of my FAVORITE moments!!!  He just looked so sweet and in awe that these were all his friends!!! 






When we got home it was PRESENT time!!!!

Princess Through and Through

Emma Jane is a complete princess.  One of my favorite words she says is "Castle".  My little modern day princess however, LOVES to play cars, trains, tools, etc with her best friend and brother!!

"Snuggles and Loves"

My baby boy, who will be four years old in 10 days, still loves to cuddle.  Thank goodness!!!  Snuggling and Loves is my most cherished part of everyday.  I just love the random hugs and kisses that show how much love there is in my home.
 
"I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living, my baby you'll be." ~~Love You Forever (One of our most favorite stories)

3 Birthdays Celebrated at Farrells!!

Nani and Papa took Gavin and Emma out to Farrells for ice cream!!!!  It was time to celebrate Papa, Gavin, and Emma's birthdays!!  Yummy fun!!!!  While they were out, I thought I would take the time to get lots done for Baby's arrival.  Well...I relaxed instead!!!! 




 While they were at the mall they spun the Kidgits wheel. Their prize was those funny lips that make a whistle sound when you blow.  Gavin and Emma clearly have a close bond and they showed us this by giving each other a hug and LIPPY kiss!!!!  Tooooooo adorable!!

Valentine's Day.....All About the Babes!!!

Next to Christmas, I think Valentine's Day is my absolute favorite!!!  It is all about the babes in this house!!  They woke up to "their" kitchen table decorated as the "Restaurant of Love".  Breakfast of heart shaped - chocolate chip pancakes and strawberries with whip cream was served to two excited little ones.  They ate ate ate!!!  Gavin had so much fun saying..."More water please Sir!!"  (He doesn't realize the difference between Mam and Sir yet! )



 After breakfast, Gavin and Emma decorated cupcakes and Valentines for some of their loved ones.  Then we went out and delivered them!!  They really LOVED sharing their love!!




 A long day delivering Valentines was rewarded with another meal at our "Restaurant of Love".  This time on the menu was heart shaped pb&j and pink yogurt.  Mmmmmmmmm!!!
 Next, for dessert, home made mini heart cakes that they got to decorate AND eat!!  Thankfully they didn't eat too much!!  They had more fun decorating!!

 We tried to take naps...but I think they excitement of the day just made that impossible so on to dinner time at...you guessed it...."The Restaurant of Love".  Last meal of the day and it was red/white heart shaped raviolis!! 
 Dessert....Nani bought them their very own special "Fondue" pot...made just for melting chocolate!!  So what else could we have for dessert but Chocolate Fondue!!!  Sooooo yummy!!!

Papa's Birthday!!

The little babes LOVE baking!!!  They made Papa's cake and decorated it too!!!!  Hmmmm...they may have been allowed to lick the mixing spoons when they were done, but shhhhhhhh!!  Don't tell!!!
