So Happy Together

I love these pics of Lila and Rylan together. This is in the morning when both Emily and Alaina were at school. When Alaina is home she and Lila are usually playing with dolls or ponies, but when she is gone Lila and Rylan are best friends!

Cousins and Friends

Just had to say THANK YOU, Amy for bringing yourself, Grandma, and Grace for a visit! It was a good time. Rylan was quite taken with his cousin, Grace. Now that I think about it I realize he hasn't played with someone his own size for probably as long as he can remember. Rylan enjoyed showing her his toys and they played very well together. Cousins and friends!

Signs of Spring

Spring has been slow in coming this year. The cold weather seems to be hanging on for an extra long time. Every once in awhile we get a sunny warm day and those are ones to treasure. This day we found some cute little flowers growing at the park. A sure sign of spring! Hurray!

lions and tigers and bears oh my!

We took a trip to the zoo at the end of last week. If you want details give Lila a call and she'll be happy to tell you all about the animals she saw. Hippos, zebras, giraffes, snakes, and the list goes on. Rylan even pet a goat! This picture was taken at the end of our trip which is why the kids are so droopy. They all slept well that night!

Happy Easter!

The weather was a bit rainy and the wind a little chilly but still it was a BEAUTIFUL day to celebrate Christ's resurrection and victory over death. We are so thankful for God's provision in our lives. Isn't He wonderful? Every time Ryan or I might get worried about how something in our lives is going to work out God always gives us a reminder of how much he loves us and how he is watching over us. He ALWAYS provides for our needs! We trust you all had a wonderful day! We'll leave you with some pics of the family enjoying the day.

Lila's Birthday Pics

Happy Birthday Lila!

Today was Lila's 3rd birthday. She's been telling people she is 3 for quite some time so today we made it official. When given the choice of what to have for dinner Lila requested pancakes. After dinner the long awaited opening of the presents began. Lila received many beautiful dresses which pleased her greatly as did the pink bathing suit, "church shoes" (as she labeled the sandals), books, and ponies. Lila also requested chocolate cake and ice cream. She had difficulty blowing out the three candles so we helped her out because we were afraid there would be a lot of spit on the cake if we gave her any more chances. All the kids had fun celebrating with Lila. We thank God for you little Lila Faith!

I'll have to upload some pics tomorrow - blogger is having problems right now and I can't get them to post!
