We Have a Birthday Boy in the House

It's hard to believe that 12 years ago I was on the way to the hospital delivering this sweet little bundle of joy.

And he's been spoiled by all his siblings ever since!

He has such unique relationships with each and every one of them. It's so fun to sit back as a parent and watch the interaction.

And here he is today!! My little (and last) baby is growing up too fast for my liking.

At least he still likes to play at the park :D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

I'm a Blog Slacker

But we have a very, very good reason for this. Just look at who is visiting!!!

And we've been having such a fun, fun time. For some of you this visit is a surprise. That's because we had to keep it a secret. It was a complete surprise for the kids. All they knew was I had an "appointment". School was delayed that day due to the flooding so I was glad that Rob was home to take them. The surprise was PERFECT!!! Lizzie & Jessica were standing in the kitchen when the kids came home from school and David was the first one in the door. He looks up and says "Hi Lizzie!!" He was so sweet too as he started to tear up just seeing the two of them.

And Amber says "What are you talking about David?!" As she walks around the corner and here's her reaction.

The BEST reaction of the night was Tabitha! She and Josh were coming over that night to celebrate her December b-day for cake and presents. As she walked in the door we covered her eyes for the "big surprise".

(Sorry these are blurry. These guys were just moving all over the place) She screamed and cried and thought it was the best surprise present EVER!!

Rob & Amber had to leave very early in the morning to head to Tacoma for Amber's Honor band so David & I got them all to ourselves. Here's Lizzie's reaction to seeing her Uncle David coming down the stairs on Saturday morning.

She has him (and all of us really) completely wrapped around her little finger. She also claps every time he comes into the room.

Just a few more to tell you how much we are enjoying having Jessica & Lizzie here with us.

Happy Thoughts for the New Year
