Kaytlin Turns 6

Life wouldn't be what it is without our Kaytlin!

She was so excited her birthday was on a weekday so she could take a treat to school to share with her classmates! She insisted they had to be cupcakes with pink frosting. So after looking around we found these cute cupcakes with pink frosting and dance shoes on the top. At school she had one and throughout the day she had a total of six cupcakes! That is enough to make me sick but she handled it!

For her birthday dinner she chose to go to Red Robin so she could get an ice cream sundae! Even after all those cupcakes through the day she managed to put away a rootbeer float and sundae! I really have no idea what she does with all the food she consumes!

On Sunday we had family over to celebrate. I told her she was in charge and so she decided presents had to come first. We put her in a tumbling class and she got lots of clothes and toys! She idolizes Doc McStuffins so most of her gifts went with that and she was thrilled!

The cake she shared with everyone!

 Enjoying the cake and ice cream with cousins!

 Even she liked it! Can't beat chocolate!

Happy 6th Birthday Kaytlin!
We love you and hope this year is just as good as the last! 

Christmas

 

We have made it a tradition to go to the movie Polar Express that the bank invites all the peewee account holders to attend! Santa came and invited them all to visit him at the bank the following week. These following pictures are from that.

 The kids have found a love of sledding! We went twice the week of Christmas and spent at least two hours each time. Usually there is an argument over the best sled so we will be purchasing some at the end of the season! The only thing that gets them to stop is having to use the potty because there isn't one at the park that is open this time of year!

Christmas morning the girls got up at 4 a.m. and I heard them downstairs. I went down to find they had opened several presents but then I made them wait until dad and Brayden woke up. At 4:45 the girls were very impatient and I told them they could wake them up! Then commenced present opening!

After opening presents at our house and after breakfast we went over to Grandpa and Grandma Dawson's house for the day! They got lots of fun things and spent the afternoon playing with cousins!

We hope you all had a safe and wonderful Christmas and New Year! May 2014 bring happiness, health, and safety! We love you all!

 

Thanksgiving

 

We had a wonderful time with family and friends for Thanksgiving!

We have so much to be thankful for!

Happy Thanksgiving!

 I do know how blessed we are to be healthy, happy, to have family, and most importantly to have the gospel in our lives! I love my Heavenly Father and am so thankful for everything he has granted me in this life! I love you family and friends for supporting us and loving us!

LOVE YOU!

 

Happy Halloween!

 

Brayden = Man in the Yellow Hat

Alayna = Curious George

Kaytlin = Dancer

 

It was another great Halloween without snow! It rained for a bit but nothing to bad!

 

Josh and I were invited to a Halloween Party and we had to wear orange.

I didn't have anything orange so I made a reversible skirt! When we got to the party someone told Josh he looked like a Mafia Boss! We had a fun night! 

 

Hope you were all safe and warm! 

Soccer

 

Brayden enjoyed soccer last time he played so he played again this last season! Through September and October we supported him and cheered for him from the sidelines!

Josh also refereed again this season!

 

 For the majority of the games Brayden was goalie and LOVED it!

 

Way to go Brayden!

Josh had knee surgery! He is doing much better and is back to work now! He isn't supposed to kneel on it though.

 

September 2013

 

Brayden is a 4th grader this year! His teachers name is Ms. Longmore. He was more than willing to go back to school. I think his sister's irritate him too much through the summer! He gets in such a hurry to get to school in the mornings he usually forgets his backpack until Mom says something to him!

 

Kaytlin started Kindergarten! Her teachers name is Ms. Peterson.

The first day of school she came home and told me all about snack time and recess. After getting home she asked me if she missed Cailloo on television! Within the first two weeks she has learned to write numbers and her name and can identify most of the alphabet! So proud of her and she is learning lots!

 

With both Brayden and Kaytlin in school Alayna and Mommy hang out at home! Alayna gets bored and doesn't leave Mommy's side but I am sure that will change once we get in a better routine! We hope to have a fabulous school year!
