Sisters!

The girls were getting along so well this particular day, so I decided to make note of it. I hope that when the third sister comes they will love her too!

More Birthdays!

Autumn is now 2! She is talking more and more each day, which we are glad because for a while she didn't say a thing. She has the cutest personality and when you ask her to smile whe gives you a big cheesy grin! We made a butterfly cake for her with the help of her cousins who spent the night with us. It is so much fun to have cousins around and we just love them all! Ike is now the big 7! We tell him everyday that he is preparing to be a big 8 year-old. He is always practicing his flying tricks and preparing to fly. He has grown up this last year so very much and we celebrated his birthday by going to the movies "Tangled" and eating his favorite Domino's pizza.

Sabrina turned 4!

It is hard to believe that Sabrina is our big four-year old now. She is still our little princess, loving to dress up-as shown in the picture. Her Grandma G. gave her the beautiful pink dress. And she loves Tinker-bell, if she could grow fairy wings and fly she would. Grandma H. gave her the sleeping bag, and she has slept in it nearly every night since her birthday and we were so grateful for the special visit from Grandma and Grandpa Huff which they made to see us couple of weeks ago to help celebrate Sabrina's special day. The princess cupcakes were delicious.
The star cake was designed by Sabrina. She even helped frost it. She will be quite the baker when she grows up, she always has visions on how desserts should look and I can only imagine what more creations she can come up with. We are very grateful for our little red haired little lady.

Christmas Blessings

Christmas blessings. We were very blessed during Christmas with the many loved ones who gave so freely to our children and to us and the many secret Santa's who blessed our lives continually during the entire holiday season. Our kids received more gifts than you could imagine and with each one they were so grateful and excited about. From the pillow pets, walkie talkies, new church clothes, baby dolls, dress up dresses, scooters and much more each gift brought so much excitement and joy to their eyes. It was a wonderful reminder of the joy of how much our Savior loves all of his children even us grown-ups and the joy it is to be a child. We will never forget the Christmas of 2010 and we were so grateful to be with many family members during that time as well.

More Christmas

More Christmas! Christmas morning Autumn was more interested in her Chocolate than anything else. Sabrina really enjoyed being Santa's helper at the Gordon Christmas party. Santa designated her as the the candy cane elf. And this is our semi-adopted pet Spot. He actually lives at the neighbor's house but gets love from our kids daily. Don't worry Kristie, he is not allowed inside and we would kennel him if you came to visit.

Christmas photos?

I know it is a little late for Christmas photos, but hopefully one day we will be caught up on the blog posting thing and we will be current with the season. I also posted some of our gingerbread houses. The crumbled one is Sabrina's unfortunately she dropped it before it even got to the countertop.

Updates

These first pictures are of Ike of course. The first one being the 1st snowman of the season. Ike built it and it was adorable even if it was only 12 inches tall. The one where Isaac is in his church clothes just makes us smile. Isaac is growing all up, and loves to wear ties and sweaters to church.

More on Halloween

My very sweet sister Shannon invited us to attend Boo at the Hogle Zoo on Halloween. I took Ike and Sabrina and we spent the day with their cousin Mitch, seeing cool animals and collecting candy. It was a great day to spend with my sister and we had a lot of fun. Sabrina was so happy the entire day and I am so glad that we could go.

Halloween 2010

Halloween has come and gone, except for the candy of course. My kids love holidays and especially ones where they get to dress up. This year Isaac chose a Fireman, since the local fire department came to visit in the month of October at his school. He received a hat from them and wore everyday after school during October. We made his costume from some duck tape and used clothing. He loved it. Sabrina was tigger. No her first choice in costumes, but I talked her into it, knowing that Halloween is not usually a warm night. She would have rather had been a fairy princess, a tinker bell, or something pink. But since it did rain on Halloween night I was grateful for the tigger costume. Autumn was a bear. She didn't enjoy the head part, but she too remained toasty and warm while we trunk or treated in the muddy rain at our church's little party. Carving pumpkins was eventful, but we managed to finish the project with no human cuts and only a little mess.

October fun

In early October we had the opportunity to go to St. George to see Grandma and Grandpa Gordon and to play with Coby and Mekenzie's kids at the spray park in St. George. We also got to attend our newest niece's baby blessing. The picture with all of the cousins is adorable, don't ask me why my kids just couldn't smile. Oh well.
