It's a Girl!!!!



There is so much to journal about!!!! I think this may be one of my favorite photos! Landon was really in awe to see Brooklyn! And he seemed so genuinely happy to have her here!!

Same goes for Cate, as she has wanted to hold her the very most!





I think that Jocelyn is still a bit passive about her, but she says her name so sweetly and tries hard to hold her just right. They are going to be so much fun as the grow!

Now, this is what we found the other night after a L-O-N-G day of company, play, a dog, and a new baby. We have never had the kids fall asleep like this:

Landon added the shorts after we had put him to bed. Too funny!



Kyle went to check the girls, and Jo wasn't in her bed. It really startled him. He then found her, to his relief. Cate had no idea that she had been joined either when we asked her about it. So Cate must have been out and Jocelyn went over to her bed to chat or whatever, and crashed.



Best of all though, was reflecting on Easter and having our 4 sweethearts at home, safe and healthy.
We truly are and have been blessed this year already.



And I am so glad that Catelyn and Landon actually can tell you why we celebrate Easter and what the resurrection is. I suppose it's because we do talk about death and resurrection in our home more than most! *wink*

ALL THE DETAILS OF BROOKLYN'S BIRTH DAY ARE ON MY BLOG FOR NOW. AT SOME POINT I SHOULD POST IT HERE TOO. I WILL TRY!

Happy Birthday Catelyn!!!

Happy Birthday Catelyn!!!     Yesterday was you last day as a 6 year old.  Here we go for 7!!! I have picked out a few photos that I love of you, Catelyn, and hope that you know how special you are as you look at this post.   You truly are a Daughter of God and are so beautiful.   We are so glad you are a part of our family! *You love to play outside. *You like math, have struggled with reading, and love recess. *You stood with Amanda in that wedding line for 45 minutes.   *You are a girly girl.  Lipstick, makeup, nail polish and perfume make you happy. *You yell a lot.  We are working on an inside voice. * You seem to want to stop sucking your thumb.  *You love the computer. *You love to shop. *You have one year to be ready for your baptism! *When you fall asleep, you are out like a light! *You love your teacher, Ms. Bair. *You need a bigger bike. *You enjoy watching Phineas and Ferb. *You draw people really well, and ...

The Opposite of Christmas Morning

We are having the opposite of Christmas morning at our house.  No toys.  We have one of these for storing toys: And several of these for the same reason: And last night the kids thought dumping them out for the sake of dumping toys would be fun.  This is a major rule breaker in our home.  I have had problems with this in the past, (even Mykalee knows this) and i have told them if it happens again, all the toys will disappear. And last night, after I found out what they had done, the toys have been grounded.  FOR A WEEK.  I hope it's as devastating as possible, so that they will learn I am serious when it comes to dumping toys out. {Also, Brooklyn is the only one who is exempt from this, as she was in bed.  Innocent.} On a side note, we did get the kids this on Friday.  It was time.  They seem to love it.

Catelyn--The Birthday Girl!

She knew.  I told her that she was getting a dress for her 8th birthday.  We tried some on, and fell in LOVE with the one we ended up surprising her with!  Doesn't she look too grown up?   I teared up as I watched 12 more years flash before my eyes as I saw her in this mini-wedding dress.  But it was the one for her.  We knew it. With Grandpa Dean's passing, we received special permission {which Kyle didn't like to have to ask for, because in the church handbook, it specifically says "Members should not ask for special permission to baptize their children. . .blah, blah blah....*Oh!! not that I am making fun of the handbook.  I just don't what it says exactly* I argued back that this was a rare exception, and we should at least ask. {Also, not as rare as I thought-- as I found out Friday night -March 18- that the family who had a viewing going at the same time as ours, at Coltrin's, had a baptism and a funeral in the same day as well! ...
