Elizabeth is 7!!!!

Here is the flash back picture. This was Elizabeth's 4th birthday.

Look at how she has grown!

The classic Elizabeth face scrunch.

Now that she can read she read every card before opening the present.

But she got right on it when that card was done!Who knew seven candles could cause such a blaze!
This girl LOVES her cake.

Elizabeth had a special friend birthday this year. That means instead of a big party with several friends she get to choose one to do something special with (besides the family party). This year it was her BFF (best friend forever!) Sydney. I took the girls out for breakfast and then shopping for hair clips bands and lip gloss. We called each other darling and carried our purses. So fun. Then we stopped at See's candy shop were the girls picked out chocolate bunnies. It was a blast for all!

The Party!!

The cakes! Thanks to James these turns out cute. I have grand ideas and he helps me pull them off.

The loot. Here they are with their "glasses". The got books, a HUGE ball, "glasses", dress pants, socks, and very cute Polo's.

Here is Connor showing Grandma his new book.

Here they are blowing out their candles. It was too funny.

It was a great day for two great boys!

Little boys BIG day!!

The actual birthday.

Daddy brought home doughnuts.

Connor has a pink frosted one with chocolate stripes.

Cody had the same.

Then they played a weird tag game with Jack. He sleeps in the sun. They crawl up and touch him, laugh like freaks, retreat and do it all again, and again , and again.....you get the idea.

Later that day they play out back. (Note the awesome green grass!!!)

After that they got to open their birthday present from Mom and Dad.

LEAPSTERS!!!!

They spent the rest of the evening in techno heaven.

Today is your birthday.nananna

..It's my birthday too yeah!

Okay so it is not my birthday.   6 months and 4 days to go...  Anywho it is my moms birthday today.  She is getting old.  Aren't we all?  I called her for her big day.  Not a big deal you say?  Well really it is.  I haven't talked to my mom for a little over three years.  Crazy you say.  Why yes, yes it is.  Why did we not talk?  Probably something stupid was said but hey that happens.

I am not sure how long this will last.  I am not sure how this will all go.  Here is to a new year and hoping it goes better for our relationship.

So much has been going on...

The end of June:

Dad (Dean) and James insulated and drywalled the garage. Then Karen, Dad, James and I put on a new garage door. Yeah that was fun.......NOT!!! LOL!!

The little boy found bugs under the log. they kept rolling it back and forth yelling "bugs!!!" It was too funny!On the 28Th I got older. This is my Raspberry Lemonaide birthday cake Dustin ( a friend and baker) made for me.
Later that week I learned how to make jam. Thanks Mom (mom-in-law) for teaching me. I drive her crazy asking question but she puts up with me.

It turned out pretty dang good. James had that little jar infront gone in one weekend. LOL!!

Girls just wanna have fun!!!

Here are the pretty pretty princesses decorating their crumpets aka cupcakes prior to their high tea. Princess Sydney aka Ariel

Okay so this is not about the boys but WOW Elizabeth looks SO stinking pretty in this picture!!!!

A few years ago at Aunt Michelle's. Well really Shoshone falls.

Fair time! She sure looks tiny in this picture. She was around 3.

Elizabeth was born before the world of digital cameras hit our house. So we have no cutesy baby pics, but with Elizabeth we never run out of cutesy pictures so enjoy!
