Rachael turns 2!!

Our little Rachael is now 2 years old. It's hard to believe that 2 years has gone by since she joined our family. She's growing into such a big girl. She now sleeps in a big girl bed in the room she now shares with Becca. They have a lot of fun sharing a room together too. Rachael has also become our little talker. She's still hard to understand if you're talking to her on the phone, but in person you can almost have a conversation with her. Of course now she can tell you exactly what she wants, when she wants it, and she does that quite frequently.

Rachael loves to dress up. She has dress up clothes on all day long. And she can generally be found sleeping with her dress up clothes on over her pjs.

Snow Day

A few weeks ago we had a snow day. Well, it's what Campbell County calls a snow day. Most people would call it a light dusting of snow. Oh well. School was canceled so I took the kids out to play. There wasn't enough snow to sled on the grass so Chris got the idea to sled down the slippery driveway. They all had great fun day until Chris bonked his head. So we headed inside for hot chocolate. It ended up being a nice day.

Doesn't she look like a little marshmallow?

Chris's 7th Birthday

I'm finally getting pictures up from Chris's birthday a few weeks ago. I can't believe my little boy is 7! He had a great day enjoying his presents from all his friends.

His Dinosaur Birthday Cake

I made these monster cupcakes to take to his school class.

Opening Presents

Getting in a game of Crossbows and Catapults (Chris told me this was his fighting face)

Instead of a party this year we spent the night out as a family. We went to the family fun zone, they have an arcade, an indoor playground, a rollerskating rink and pizza, what more could a boy want on his birthday.

At the end of the day we all enjoyed some birthday cake
