Bella is 1

Super cute bday shirt from Nana and Pap

She loves her horse from Joe and I

I made this shirt for Bella! Lorie and I stayed up until 2 am due to the sewing machine jamming!

Bella loves her kitchen from Grandma, Grandpa, and Hannah! I love the apron!

She plays with this kitchen for hours each day! It actually has these buttons on the back that you push and it grows with them. It's so neat!

Happy Harper at Tucano's!

Liam and Hannah

Bella didn't know what to do when they came to sing to her at dinner.

Waterfall on our hike!

Kids posing...not sure what Harp is doing?!

Just taking it all in...

I love her cake bow!

My mother-in-laws chocolate cupcake recipe! The best cupcakes! Thanks Lynda!

First bite and she LOVED it!

Yum!

It's up her nose!

Our sweet little Princess turned 1 on April 17...(yes I know I'm late posting this! I just kept putting it off, I just can't believe she's 1!) I can't even begin to put into words how much she means to us! I LOVE this little girl so much! She brings me so much JOY! I love how she smiles and turns her little head to the side. I love how she'll just walk over to you and crawl right into your lap. She's so loving, and has her daddy wrapped around her finger. Her brothers just adore her. She brings a smile to my face when I just hear her little voice calling from her crib. Though I'm sad that she's growing so fast I'm also so BLESSED to have her in my life!!

My parents and little sister Hannah were here to celebrate Bella's birthday. We had loads of fun celebrating her big day. We went to Tucano's for dinner, and hiked the mountain, and then pigged out on cupcakes. I'm so glad they were able to visit! Happy 1st Birthday Bella!

My heart

My heart just explodes with love for these 3! I never thought I could ever love someone as much as I do them. They make me laugh all of the time. I'm truly blessed to have them in my life!

Soccer Star!

Liam has starting playing soccer again. He loves it! There first game was last Saturday. We can't remember the score, but he scored 3 goals!! He would put both arms up in the air and jump around! It was really cute. My parents came from PA to visit and got to see him play. It was a great treat for their visit. Liam's team mascot is the "Bat"...yes a bat! Apparently that's what the boys on his team like...I think it's hilarious! Go Bats!

I just LOVE this sweet boy

Every morning the kids and I walk Liam to the bus stop. I always go on a morning walk, and when we get back home Harper wants to stay outside. I try to get all my housework and things done in the morning so I want him inside. He, of course, gets hysterical! Since it's been so warm out lately he plays on the back porch. I can see him from the kitchen, and hear everything he says through the windows. I love watching him blow bubbles and yell, "Mom, look at this one!" over and over. I love watching him drive his cars on the railing. I love that he wears his Buzz Lightyear hat as soon as he wakes up. (Thanks Nana and Pap) Most of all I LOVE that he's all MINE!!

The Joy of Gift Cards

Harper and Buzz

I love this smile!

Liam and hi lightsaber

For Easter my Grandma and Pap Redding sent the kids gift cards. Liam loves being able to spend his own money. He calls them credit cards, which I think is really cute! It didn't take them long to pick out a new toy. Harper is really into Buzz Lightyear, and Liam loves Star Wars. Thank you Remy and Pap!

I bought...

these super cute earrings! I follow a blog that did a giveaway for this etsy store. Unfortunately I didn't win, but I did buy some earrings instead. The store is called Simpleserendipity and it's on etsy.com! Check it out! All of the jewelry is $5.00 and under, so needless to say I have more earrings on the way!

Easter Fun!

We had a wonderful Easter! Joe's brother Michael and his family came to spend the holiday with us! We went shopping, ate frozen yogurt, listened to conference, and had a bunch of laughs! The kids played so well together. Thanks for coming to visit Mike and Rachelle!
