PRESENTS!

PRESENTS!

More PRESENTS! *Jonathan, Hannah's friend arrived!*

Hannah loved the legos, summer clothes, more books, leap pad games and that art supplies and creative items! It was so amazing. Hannah has so many that love her so much and that are willing to come spend a Saturday Afternoon celebrating her as well as many others that send her special items and love! 

After the party ended we met up with Joe, Brittany, Ireland and Brenna and joined in on the fun at the swimming pool. We had Cleo as well (birthday party slumber party!). We had a blast, we all enjoyed the water slide and play time in the pool. 

What a great day and great way to celebrate that our oldest daughter is turning 6 on Monday! I can't believe how quickly it's gone by and the things that we have learned along the way. Hannah is a super girl, although emotional and sensitive, she is amazingly social, silly and creative. 

Happy Birthday Hannah!

Love, J. 

Addison close up

Addison is blossoming! She's just so full of life and excitement and energy. I love this girl. I stayed home from work one day this last week and she wanted to play with her baby under her shirt. I rigged up a baby sling and she carried her baby around like this for about an hour. It was super cute.

Cleo's 6

My neice is 6! How exciting to have our kiddos be turning 6 this year. Hannah was super excited to celebrate with Cleo.

One on one time

Every so often we like to take the girls for one on one time. Last weekend Hannah and I joine our friends Melissa and Jonathan and went to a place where you can paint an item and then they glaze and fire it. It was so much fun and different than things we have done before.

Although Hannah was not thrilled with the fact that we didn't play during this play date, she was excited to see her final result of her unicorn.

Snowpocalypse 2014!

Snow started to fall on Thursday of last week. Hannah's school let out early and my work closed early. . . I thought it was a fluke- but guess not. We ended up with about 6 inches of snow at our place. There was some ice, freezing rain, snow. . . what a mess. But on the same hand it was an awesome blessing after the early events of the week I needed some extra time off to enjoy my family. 

So we made sure to go out and play in the snow. The following pictures are not in any particular order, but they are all from this weekend. 

Hannah sledding, no fear at all!

Jason and Addison sledding- Addison was giggling so loud after this!

As the keeper of the camera I don't get many photos of me, so here's a selfie- yup we have funny monster hats! Jason has a cyclopse hat, Hannah has a penguin and Addison has a doggy. 

Missy, Daddy and Addison making snowballs.

Lots of smiles happening!

And because what snow event is complete with out video of the girls playing. . . I just can't express how much fun they found this time! Hannah ended up having Monday (today) off as well. I had to return to work though.

Be safe, and enjoy the snow!

Love, 

J.
