Child labor

Some landscapers we're working in our neighbors yard yesterday. Eli was very interested in their wheelbarrow and blower. The man was so nice that he let Eli "help" him with their work. He let him drive the wheelbarrow and put on the blower backpack. He even turned the blower in and let Eli blow all around. Eli loved it!!






Sibling Laughs

Sweet moments between siblings...captured. Eli loves making his little sister laugh, and Karis already looks to Eli like he hung the moon. :)



"I have the greatest big bro in the whole world"




Picky eater ;)

This girl will eat foods such as bok choy, kale, and quinoa. She loves broccoli, all veggies, and fruit. She eats chicken, fish, and healthy grains. But she will not eat Mac and cheese. Is she related to my firstborn at all?!! :)

For Gloria :)

In an attempt to be better at my blogging, I am adopting a new strategy. Rather than my attempt to comprehensively cover all of our recent happenings, I am going to shoot for short and sweet updates (more like a text or Facebook post) So here goes...this is for you Gloria! :)

Morning picnic with blueberry muffins. Messy and delicious. Eventually Karis got moved to her high chair after demonstrating an urge to move off of the blanket. ;)

Karis loves her little walker, which we call her Segway. It is a hand me down from big bro. 

Karis loves playing at the park! She likes to swing and go down the slide. This is a pic of her first time in the tunnel!

Daddy and Eli storytime before bed, so sweet

Playing at the coffee shop with Eli 



Sweet hugs/head locks :) from big bro

Birthday party fun

Fun times today celebrating birthdays with friends! There is much blog updating I have to do, but here are a few sweet pics from this afternoon. So thankful to The Lord for this incredible family He has blessed me with!

Pretty pretty princess with her handsome daddy at her friend's 1 year birthday party


Mickey Mouse theme bday party complete with Mickey Mouse shaped grilled cheese sandwiches :)

Me and sweet Karis. Can't believe I closed my eyes, first time I've ever done that. ;)

"Yay mommy, you didn't blink this time!"

Cupcake cheers

Sweet treet with a sweet boy

Dads with babies

Second bday of the day...superhero party time!

Eli with friends from school

Superhero cupcake! Looked yummy, but his tummy was a little overloaded on sweets so we saved it for later :)

Finger licking good

10 months old!

Guess who is 10 months old today?

Is it Eli?

Haha! Noooo!

Do you have any other guesses? I'll give you a hint… She's wearing a yellow bow.

I think I know!

It's me!!

I am 10 months old and couldn't be more excited!

So what should we do to celebrate? You have any cake?

Silly little girl. What a sweet joy she has been in our lives for these last 10 months. We are so thankful to our gracious Heavenly Father for blessing us with this sweet, adorable, precious little angel. We look forward to many many more months of getting to know and love this invaluable little person we have the privilige of  calling our daughter.
