Birthdays!

The end of October is always a party week at our house. With Andrew's birthday, Halloween and Emma's birthday, we have fun all week long!
Andrew's birthday was on Sunday. We had the primary program that day too (another busy day!), so we had to get to church early. He was very patient in waiting to open his presents until after church :) He is nine this year. I cannot believe my little chubby baby is so grown up! He is such a joy to have in our lives. He is by far my easiest child. Not that I am picking favorites, just saying that is very easy going. He's always happy and easy to please. Never complains, never wants what he doesn't have. It's just his personality. I never have to nag him, he just does what he is supposed to. That has just always been him. He is a great kid to be around. He makes a room light up by coming in. He has such a happy personality. I love this little guy! Well, big guy now. Happy Birthday Andrew!

$50 from Grandma and Grandpa. Awesome!

Football cake for my football loving boy!

Emma's Princess castle cake. It is lopsided and funny looking, but she loved it!

All she really wanted was her very own pink camping chair! She was so excited :)

Emma was next. The big 4 this year! Now that is hard to believe. It is wonderful to have my youngest not be a baby anymore. It makes my life so much easier. I feel very blessed to have a girl in my family. She is constantly reminding me to how lucky I am to have a girl buddy :) She is always by my side. Cooking, cleaning, playing. I just love how "girly" she can be. We have so much fun with tea parties and hair bows. I love spending so much time together while the boys are in school. What a great blessing my children are to me. I love watching them grow and learn as they become older each year.
