blakely's christmas program.

Matthew and I went up to watch Blakely in her Christmas program from her school.  Her class sang two adorable songs!  She is so grown-up.

happy 1st birthday, amelia!

A very special and precious party for a lovely little girl! Happy 1st Birthday, baby girl.  Your auntie & uncle love you!

saturday at the park

Matthew and I watched the girls one Saturday so Kari and Neal could attend a wedding.  We ventured to the park for a little while.

Look at these little precious sisters holding hands!

LOVE these SMILES!

We had a lot of fun playing at the park and enjoying the beautiful weather!

When we got back home, Hudson had to be part of the action!

blakely's ballet class.

As summer came to a close, I went to watch Miss B at her ballet class one Saturday morning.

This sweet-cheeked girl was there, too!

She looks so precious in her little ballet costumes.

Such a grown up little girl!

blakely's 3rd birthday!

Our niece, Blakely, turned 3 on June 28th!  My mom and I went up to visit her and we went the girls and my sister to see Fancy Nancy at the library.  

She got to make some bracelets!

Then, we went to lunch with the birthday girl at Red Robin!

After her nap, my sister showed her the birthday cake she made for her!  It was Rapunzel.  Blakely LOVED it!

On Sunday afternoon, they had Blakely's birthday party!  She had a lot of fun swimming, eating, and opening presents.

(little sister, Amelia, is getting so big!)

Present time!

Some of the lovely food and decorations...(my sister did a great job!)

Happy 3rd Birthday, Miss B!  Where does the time go?!
