Yea. I’m 37.

Well, it’s been a hard year with Summer, but I’m happy to be 37.  I’m excited to start seeing some sun and feel some warmer days.  I’m hoping this year we will have a baby who eats and a few pounds on her and off me.  However, I’m blessed with a wonderful family who I love and a great community with awesome friends. 

Princess Party

Here is the group of princesses who spent the day with Liv.IMG_3776

Alivia had a wonderful time with her friends playing games, eating pizza and opening presents.  They all enjoyed the Disney cake and talked about which princess they would like to become.  Then, they went on to more interesting topics such as: what sport do you want to do and what is your favorite dream.

My Alivia is now a delightful and daring 5 year old.  She’s brave.   You don’t expect that from her, but she’s a girl full of surprises.  She even keeps herself on her toes.  I am amazed at her ability to read and her love of crafts.  She can’t wait for kindergarten and will sure to become the class social butterfly.  She is proud of her mothering abilities and easily gives smiles to any baby around. 

Livvy, you are the best girl a mom could hope for!  We love you –the most :)

What a cutie!!

My Mom

We wish Mom were still here to watch Alivia be pulled in the sled during our winter excursions in the Cascades. We miss her when we're playing: Stick Out Your Tongue When Dad Says, "Cheese!" with the new camera. I ache that she can't watch Alivia and Adison grow up. But we know her love stays with us and that Addison knows Nonni Angel will keep the bad dreams away every night.
