Royden Turns Two!!!

Oh my goodness where did the time go? My little boy is now two. We had a great day celebrating him. We started by going to the store and letting him pick out a baloon, he may have talked dad into a stuffed gorilla that was on clearance also. :)





For his birthday he got a tool set and some balls. He loves the tool set and he plays with it constantly.



After he played for a bit we were able to talk him into opening his other gifts, which was balls. He has also enjoyed playing with those. 

Showing off the bracelets that Lydia made him!






Everytime I asked him what kind of birthday cake he wanted he said dog. He was so excited and loved his cake.


Stuck his had in the frosting while we were singing!




I think he enjoyed it!
A little bit about Royden. He is a sweet funny boy. He loves his sleep. He takes great naps, and even after moving him to a toddler bed months ago he goes to bed great. He is a thumb sucker. He usually only sucks it if he has his special blankets and is tired, but he only gets his blanket at bed time. He keeps us laughing, he loves the attention he gets out of his humor and does things over and over just because he is funny. He has turned into a mountain goat and climbs everywhere. He usually has bruises on his head because of said climbing. He loves to snack, but doesn't always eat great at meal times. He thinks he is a big boy just like brothers and need a bigger bed and chair and anything else they have. He loves his baby brother! He doesn't talk much, he says mom and dad and a few other words whenever he feels like it, but will NOT talk on demand. He fiils our hears and family with so much joy, and we love him so much! Happy Birthday Wreck it Royden! We love you.

February 2014

Time is going by so fast and I am trying to keep up. February flew right past us, but it was full of fun adventures. Some we have pictures of and some we don't. :)
The kids spend some time playing in the snow. They loved using the new snowman building kit that Aunt Debbie gave us for Christmas. 


Lydia, Ryland, Reagan, Leauna. They had fun modeling the pieces to the kit also. 

Renton, Royden and I stayed inside where it was nice and warm!

I love the photo bomb in this picture. :)

The finished product! Cute huh?

The hearts we decorated for valentines day. 

Royden cuddled up just like the big boys!
 Valentines day was a fun day. The kids were so excited for their party's that day. The girls took heart shapped jello jigglers for their party and the boys took a fresh pineapple for their friendship fruit salad. Unfortionattley the day of their party Reagan was sick with a fever and he wasn't able to go. Daddy came home and stayed with him so I could go to the kids party's.

Leauna and Lydia's Baptism

Leauna and Lydia were baptized as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, on February 1, 2014. It was such a special day for them and for our family. A few weeks before they were baptized my friend Leah, at Leah Planiz Photography took some pictures of them in their baptism dresses. She did such a good joy. I love them and they make me realize how my girls are growing up. It was a cold day but the girls did great and Leah was super quick.
