What do you do when your baby turns five?

... Just make her feel like she is the most important girl in the world!

Today was Abbys fifth birthday party! I can't even believe that she isn't my baby anymore. Sometimes I hate how fast they grow up...

Anyway, we had a fun party for the girl, there was cake, friends, games, and of course presents! She had a great day!

This was actually on her birthday, she got a Hanna Montana Guitar with a microphone.

Family Pictures

This was one of those rare events where the whole family was together. So of course we have to try and convince nine over tired, grumpy/hyper children who stayed up way to late the night before for the wedding, to smile for the camera! Well at least no one was crying...
So here they are, all of the grand kids so far! We still have Dyane due in Feb, and who knows what the future brings (Did I mention Steve and Janelle just got married) ;)

Happy Grandparents! Life couldn't get any better than this!
Ok I didn't wear makeup, or do my hair for this... This is why I stick to taking the picture. Here's my family!

The Wedding of The Year!!

On October 27, 2008, My baby brother got married! So we welcome to our family Janelle and Zack! Janelle was the most beautiful bride, and Steve didn't look half bad either ;) And their boys were just adorable!
So I took over 200 pictures and thought I would just share a few. The first picture was actually part of the wedding, just before they exchanged rings!

Justins 12

Ok so I have a bit of catching up to do. It's been a busy month. First we start with my baby turning 12!! I have been wishing that all my kids would stay little forever, but I think it's time for me to except the fact that my kids are getting big!
We had to split Justins celebrations into two days. First (just before we left for Lethbridge) we let him open our present. He got a DS, with the Zelda game. He was pretty happy about that. He wasn't very happy about 30min into the drive when his uncharged batteries died and he had to wait tell we got to Lethbridge to charge his batteries...


Then he had to wait two days untill his actual birthday, and after the wedding, to have his cake and other presents. I'm not sure why I am pointing at the cake... this is the only picture Dave took. So we take what we can get :)

So next Sunday Justin is going to become a Deacon. It will be a great Mommy moment to see my little man passing the Sacrament on Sunday. I might even shed a little tear or two, but I won't let him see that. ;)
