Happy Birthday Timothy!

I can't believe how time flies! This little guy is 3 years old... He has turned into such a big boy overnight. I wanted to have him be the baby for awhile, since he is the last- I didn't want this phase to end, but it has and it makes me a little sad. But when I see Timothy grow into such a fine little boy, it makes me proud. He has such an amazing ability to love, and play, and make everyone laugh! He is strong, and stubborn, and wonderful. Happy Birthday- and as long as I'm living you'll always be my baby boy! Love you-
He was being shy for the camera, but we eventually got a smile out of him!

Happy Birthday Siera

It seems like it was just yesterday that I was holding my little angel in my arms. I think I blinked once, ok maybe two or three times and now she is 5! That's right. You can't believe it either can you? I didn't think so. She is so grown up, it almost hurts to see her grow so fast. She is so smart, and funny, and beautiful, and she gives the best hugs in the world. My favorite thing about her though is that smile- you know the one that lights up the room, especially when a giggle escapes through it! I want her to stay little and innocent forever, but I'll just try to enjoy it while I can. I love you Siera, Happy Birthday!

Is it 2010 already?

A tale of two Christmases...

Once upon a time, there was a princess with 4 beautiful children. Her family was spread far across the country, only to be reunited in a land called Utah. It was here that this princess joined her parents and siblings to enjoy the twinkling lights on the most beautiful temple! There were smiles upon every face as they gathered together in the cold night air. With delicious food in their bellies, they journeyed to experience the magic. Along the way, a carriage awaited the King and Queen, and while they were enjoying the scenery, the princes and princesses continued to see all the lights. It was a joyous occasion, family togetherness and beautiful lights.

It wouldn't be a complete family reunion without food and festivities. The only festivities that brings about silliness and happiness is BOWLING!!! The royal family bowled and bowled and bowled some more until the hour had passed and they had thoroughly enjoyed their time together. This was magical time, but sadly their time together ran out. As in all fairy tales, they continue to live happily- and they continue to speak with one another. Time will pass quickly and then they will reunite once again. Christmas is a magical time, and many wonderful things can happen- especially reuniting families!!

As the time ran out with the princess' family she needed to return home to her own kingdom, to her Prince and his family! The magic stayed with the princess as she reunited with her Prince and they, with their children, celebrated their first Christmas together in a long time. There was much laughter and joy as the children opened presents, ate goodies and told stories. A new camera was given to document such festivities- to record the joy and gladness on each beautiful face. There were so many treats, and gifts, and giggles and hugs this could only be described as a magical Christmas.

With so many loved ones far and near, and to be able to see them all is the best gift that anyone, including a princess, could ask for!
