Kavens Birthday

4 yrs old

He wanted to go bowling for his birthday, which I thought was a fantastic idea.

He woke up to presents and a decorated house.

His new car stations

Elcee likes Kavens birthday too.

We got this idea from his cousin Taces birthday.  He really wanted to do this for his birthday too.

Birthday Cake, of course it had to be super heros like his favorite PJs

Happy Birthday Elcee

My sweet little Elcee girl is 1 years old.

Elcee LOVES cutie oranges, so I made her a cake to look like one.

Aunt Erin was at her Party too.  It was so fun to have her there.

We are so lucky to have such good friends.  This is Elcee receiving her first birthday present from her friend Jack Lee with the help of his mom Megan Lee (We LOVE the Lees).

Who doesn't love animal plates for their birthday.

This little girl has been taking steps for the last few months but still preferred to crawl.  Three days after this her grandpa Alan was walking her around a shoe store and all of the sudden she had enough confidence to start walking everywhere and she never turned back.  Thanks Grandpa Alan!

Happy Birthday to You....

Emery, Karenza and Tyla made up a fun song and dance for Elcee.

Blow out you candle.

Time to open presents

What is this?

A baby... her favorite... hugs all around!

Just the reaction I was hoping for.

More presents from Aunt Erin

Great friends to celebrate with!

And whats a party without balloons.

Sure LOVE this little girl!

Now time to play...

Here she is 3 days later walking around the shoe store, after grandpa Alan helped her with her confidence (It was uncle Brett's birthday we were celebrating on that day).

Hoogle Zoo with the Losees

Emery, Kaven, Bracken, Nykel, Camri, Elcee all waiting to enter the zoo.

This polar bear was SO COOL.  He was swimming around everywhere and then was doing back flips on this ledge right where we were watching over and over again.

As mentioned in a previous post, our good friends Andy and Jenny Losees and sometimes their whole family have been able to come see us every month because Andy kept on winning Jazz tickets for work.  He was able to win the tickets for April too and they brought their whole family this time.  We decided to do something super fun before we move and decided we wanted to go to the Hoogle Zoo.  This was such a good choice because we all LOVED it!  So here are some pictures from our visit. My camera battery died so I only got a few pictures from the beginning of our trip.  One of my favorite things was watching Elcee watch the monkeys.  She LOVED them and even said Monkey a few times.  Pretty cute.

March

We were so lucky to have our good friends Andy and Jenny come see us every month because Andy kept on winning Jazz tickets at work.  Elcee thinks this is pretty "cool" too.

Kaven still loves his Strider Bike and can do some pretty cool tricks on it.

Elcee started taking her first steps at 10 months.  This video was taken March 1st.

This is what we would see on our walk home from church.

Every day that the weather is good enough, we would spent all the time we could outside playing with friends and mom talking with friends.

Emery made these with her friend Nykel.  They colored them from a coloring book and then cut them out.  Pretty cute.

Kaven in his all time favorite Pajamas.  He wants to wear them all day and all night.  It is tricky trying to sneak them to the washer.

I LOVE that my kids love to play together.

This was an easter party from the Village.

At the end of the Easter Village party we were able to get these free Go Utes shirts.  We were lucky enough to have my sister Camrins kids with us.

Cousins watching Wreck-it-Ralph after Traces birthday at the park.  Lexi, Kaven, Sadie, Elcee, Emery, Trace, Aidan.

Elcee and Brea playing together.

Emery decided to cut the front of her hair one night because it had a tangle in it.  I figured the best way to cover it us would be to give her bangs.
