Happy Birthday Natalie!

Can you believe that Natalie is 5? I'm having a hard time believing it! She is such a sweet girl. She's such a good big sister to her brothers and helper to me. She has a sensitive heart and cares about others. She also has an incredible memory. Right now she says she wants to be a doctor when she grows up. And her favorite color is Red. We had a birthday party for her this year and invited some of her friends over. Who knew that 8 five year olds could stress me out so much? We made necklaces and bracelets out of beautiful beads(except for the 1 boy that was there. He got to do a more manly project, a dog made out of beads). They had a fun time and I was very happy when it was over!

We love our sweet Natalie so much and feel so blessed to have her in our family. Adam and I feel so blessed (and at times overwhelmed) to have these 3 beautiful children in our family. Life is good!

Happy Birthday Ryan!!!

Our little boy is 2!!!! Hard to believe! He is so full of energy and is all boy! He loves cars, trucks, balls and jumping off things. He is so much fun and is always so happy. And he's got a smile that lets him get away with pretty much anything. In the last few weeks he's really started talking a ton. He just melts my heart when he says "thank you Momma" in the cute little way he does. He loves to play with Natalie and thinks he's just as big as she is and can do anything she does. He also loves Eli (and says his name so cute) and loves to give him kisses. He is such a sweet little boy and we love him so much!
This is how he fell asleep yesterday. He figured out how to climb out of his crib a few weeks ago so he rarely naps anymore. But he still needs one. And I still need him to have one!
