Our Babies

Grace is loving being a big sister to Brooke.

Grace is 2! We had a fun party at Rolie Polies with cousins and friends. They jumped on the tumble track and had a blast in the big foam pit. There were balls to play with and a big inflatable slide. After Rolie Polies when went to the park for lunch and cupcakes. It was so cute to see the little ones so bouncy and happy. Grace got new sand for the sandbox. She is in heaven with her bucket and shovel. The weather is so great. We are out there for many hours lately. I am not in heaven since I keep finding white sand in my house. Half a bucket full all over the stairs. I keep reminding myself to cherish these moments.

Our present to Anne this year is a trip to the American Girl Store in California. We are going with her good friend Audrey West later this month. Audrey's birthday is in April. They are both turning 9 years old. Audrey's Dad Stewart made this cool poster that we wrapped up and gave to Anne on her birthday. Anne loved it! My mom was sitting next to Anne when she opened it and said "that girl looks just like Anne. IT IS ANNE! " It was a great moment. Thank you Stewart and Tami, what great friends you are.

Happy Birthday Anne! Anne had a great Birthday. Our good friend Kenna Peterson made this beautiful cake for Anne. She did a fabulous job and it tasted as good as it looks. Both sets of Grandparents came over to help us celebrate. Anne got new heelys and has been wearing them ever since.

What a happy baby! Brooke is doing so well. We are falling in love with her more every day. She is known around the house as "the newborn". Since we were still calling Grace "the Baby" Sam would always refer to Brooke as "the newborn" and it has kind of stuck. She is losing her newborn look more and more each day.
