It's a boy!!

Yay for baby brothers! At our ultrasound appointment yesterday we were told baby #5 is definitely a boy. He appears to be growing and developing like he should too, so we are feeling so blessed! Thank you, God!!

4-year-old in the House!

Yesterday we celebrated Rylan's 4th birthday. It's rather hard for me to believe he is that old. I attempted to make him a cool cake, which came out looking nothing like the picture and rather messy looking, but what can I say - I tried my best. Ryan designed the bulldozer cake from my cake scraps after making the dump truck. I think Rylan approved of it.

Rylan received many cool new shirts and was quite happy about it.

I think his favorite present was his new digger.

We set it up in on the playground and he can now dig to his heart's content.

First Day of School!

Yikes! I have 3 school kids now! Emily started 4th grade this year. Alaina the toothless 2nd grader. How does she eat???And my little Lila is going to kindergarten now. So sad. We all waited for the bus together and I must say . . .I got a little teary-eyed when the bus pulled away with all three of my girls.
