Joey Turns 6!

So our Joseph turned 6 this weekend!  Woohooo!  I can't believe it has been 6 years since we came home from the birth center with this little guy in our arms.  He is such a sweetheart! 
But he can sure be a silly kiddo too!  He loves to make people laugh and he LOVES to tell stories! (Just like his dad!)  Joey is very creative and imaginative.  He can create things with legos and have a full story to go along with it, including background details!  We love him with all our heart and are so grateful that Heavenly Father has sent him to our family! 

To start out Joey's birthday weekend, we brought donuts to his kindergarten class and they celebrated there with him!  
His teacher Mrs. Williams is super nice and made him feel very special!

Then the next day was his actual birthday!  We had a movie/pizza family night and he ripped open some very fun presents!  Thanks everyone!

The operation...opening the boxes! :)



Dave and I made him some arrows with a little holders for them to go with his bow and arrow set.  We were so grateful it turned out! :)

Then that Sunday, the day after Joey's big day, we had a family party for him at our house. Dad made a delicious dinner of mashed potatoes and hamburger gravy---Mmmm!  And I can't believe we made it as far as after dinner for Joey to open his presents, but somehow he did.  I sadly didn't get many pictures.  But everyone spoiled him and he loved his presents!  Thank you again!

Then it was Cupcake time!  He requested Chocolate cupcakes with min frosting.  And then he chose the colors of the frosting and the style I used to decorate them.   He had a wonderful birthday filled with lots of love!  
We love our Joey!

Christmas Bells are Ringing

Christmas morning!  Gotta be the best morning of the year right? Ellie was super excited, it being her first one ever!  She thought the presents tasted delicious! :)

And that popcorn decoration was SOOO tempting!  

Abby digging in!

Dave got some fun gifts too...from his awesome wifey! :)

Ding!  Isn't she adorable?!

But when it comes to opening presents...it's serious business!  

Abby loves to help me in the garden.  So she got some fun seeds packets and gardening tools!

The Joe-ster!

Dave got me an awesome game that has been on my wishlist for years!  Super excited!

GOT IT!!  She had her some breakfast! 

Yu--ums!!

Abby got her scooter this year!!  

My brother Sam stayed the night with us Christmas Eve.  So we got to have him with us Christmas morning! It was such a treat!


I was trying to get a good shot of Ellie for her Christmas ornament...that's why I have a million shots of her.  Helps that she's simply adorable eh?

Here's the doll I got for Christmas! ;)

Ta-da!  The End!

Queen Creek Holiday Parade

At the parade!  Dave's ALA band was playing in the Queen Creek Parade this year.  We were so so excited for him!

The kids loved the horses.

And all the floats...(ok, there were only a small handful of them.  Queen Creek is tiny!)

One of my best friends from high school came with her adorable daughter to watch with us.  It was way fun to see her!

There they are!  They sounded awesome!

Some people threw candy out and the kids would run for it!  Look close....I'm pretty sure Joey's feet are OFF the ground!  He was fast at grabbing that candy!  :)

Halloween Night

Father & Son...Jedi through and through.  Their dream costumes! :) Abby decided she didn't want to do all the makeup involved with being her star wars character again.  haha!  Can't blame the girl, halloween makeup is the worst!

I remember playing this game at my Grandma and Grandpa Larsen's Halloween party every year when I was a kid.  Loved it!  But our donuts were a bit bigger! :) 
There you go Joe! :) 

Isn't she SOO cute?

Cup Cake walk game.

Love it!  Trunk or treat from the trunk! :)

Dave put on star wars music while the kids trunk or treated. And only got in a couple light sabor fights. :)

Ethan and Abby...good friends loading up on the candy. 

My only shot of all 4 of them! :) On the go...gotta get more and more candy!!! 

Our cute little R2D2.  
"GIVE ME CANDY!!!!!!"

Perfect little star wars costume for our round Ellie! :)
