Family Time

 

 

 

So this month Brian brother Steven came home from a mission to Russia.  So we got to see more family then usual.  And as usual, I forgot to take pictures.  So here are some pictures of us hanging with family.  The cute little girl is the kids' cousin Mabel, Tiff and Mark's daughter.  She loved Zach, it was super cute.  Addy finally had a little girl to play with.    They also loved hanging with their Uncle Jared (Michelle's husband) and his I-pad.  They don't see those things a lot because, well, we're cheap. 
I'll get some more photos up with their Uncle Steven. 

Happy 5th Birthday Spencer! (A month late...)

 I can't believe my oldest is 5!  We had a small family celebration.  He hasn't had a "real" party yet...I'm kind of nervous to give him one.  I guess I want to keep him small and simple for as long as possible. 

One of my friends enjoys making cakes...so I try to give her as much practice as I can.  She made Addy's cake for her year birthday and hopefully she will make her cake for her 2 year birthday too.  She will be moving this summer so I'm not sure what I will do when she is gone!  Make it myself!!

Spencer didn't get a ton of presents...which was how I wanted it.  He actually got a little more then I was hoping for...grandma and grandpa ;).  I can't blame them though, I will want to spoil my grand kids crazy when I have some.  I tried my hand at sewing a stuffed animal for Spencer.  I want a black cat for his birthday (a real one), so I made him a stuffed one.  It was not too bad, but it kind of looks funny.  I overstuffed the chest a little  and I think the head is too small.  I am still getting the hang of embroidery.  It is a lot harder then it looks.  Overall I am proud of it.  I am going to make Addy one for her birthday; she likes playing with Spencer's.
