Ashton's 8th Birthday

 In November, Ashton turned 8 years old!  He is such a nice boy!  We love him and are so glad that he is a part of our family!

He got a treasure box, scriptures, candy, Scout stuff and a hat.  

Ashton is such a good boy.  He is always trying to be good.  He worries about his grades and homework all the time.  I always have to tell him not to worry.  He has all A's.  He is loving Scouts!  He is also really becoming quite a good pianist!  You should hear him play!

Happy Birthday Ashton!

For his birthday, Ashton didn't want a birthday cake.  He wanted Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats!  He has good taste!  Anything with chocolate and peanut butter has to taste good!

Happy Birthday Devin!

We celebrated Devin's 6th Birthday in September!  He is growing so much!  He has started Kindergarten this past year and loving it!  He does all his homework for the whole week on Monday!

He has also started playing the piano this year also and he does very good.  He memorizes songs really fast!

Calvin and I made the cake for Devin.  He wanted balloons on the cake.

Now we have some talented wrappers in this family!  Funny thing, I went out and bought some really cute birthday wrapping paper just for his birthday and then the boys came out this the presents looking like this!  I think they took all the Christmas wrapping paper and tore pieces off and then pieced it together.  What in the world?!

Calvin's Birthday

In May, Calvin celebrated his 9th birthday!  He is a wonderful boy and we are so glad that he is a part of our family!  His favorite toy was a sling shot.

Miss Lacey's Birthday!!!

Lacey Jane had her 2nd Birthday on April 8th.  She was so excited and quickly got into the swing of things.  She would open presents left and right and then ask for the next one.  Although she did stop long enough to open various treats and share one with everyone.  And she had to make sure everyone ate their "treats".

She loved the bracelets and necklaces!

Waiting patiently for the candles to be lit.

She loves the baby that Grandma Reed gave her. (She calls all of her dolls "baby").

It was really late when we had the festivities because we had a fundraiser that we went to that evening.  That is why you see boys wrapped up in blankets.  :)

Happy Birthday Devin!!!

Well, I'm a little late in posting due to just plain busyness and moving.  But we celebrated Devin's 4th birthday on the 19th of September.  It was quite a day because we also had a yard sale that day.  But that evening we had a little barbeque and opened presents.  I made him a little crown to wear that said "Birthday Boy Devin" so everyone would know that it was his special day.

Devin is my little shadow.  Every where I go, he is there with me.  As a baby, random strangers would stop us and say that he was the cutest baby they ever saw!  He was definitely a cutie and still is! 

He loves to play with his olders brothers.

He is a great helper with Lacey and loves to talk to her during the day when the boys are at school.

He is very smart and knows how to add small numbers and knows his ABC's.

He loves Preschool.

He loves learning and will literally spend hours working on his "homework" books.

He loves doing mazes and is really good at them.

One of his favorite things to do is get the puzzle box out and do puzzle after puzzle.  He asks me to help, but he really only wants me to watch.  :)

He can memorize songs and poems so quickly.  One day Ben was singing a song that he has listened to all his life when Devin told him that he was singing it wrong.  And then Devin sang the whole chorus!  Ben was impressed because he didn't even know the words!

We love Devin and love having him in our family!
