Kellen's 5th Birthday:)

 On March 1st, my baby boy turned 5 years old!  I can't believe that he is already 5 years old - these past years have gone by so fast, and I have loved every single moment with my precious boy in my life:)

On his actual birthday, we bought a special cake and celebrated (with Lita!).  He also celebrated in his class - he got a birthday crown, and the entire class sang "Happy Birthday" to him.  Kellen brought in little lootbags for his classmates as a little something to make the day more special:)

 Kellen LOVED his cake:)

 A week before his birthday, was Kellen's birthday party.  He had it at Rainbow World (like last year).  He had lots of friends at his party - from daycare and from school (15 kids).  It was so nice to see all the kids there celebrating Kellen!

 ....seriously, blogger seems to put pictures in a new, random order...grrrr

 Back to his party:)

 Hi beautiful Lauren!

 It's Ryder!

Looking for Signs of Spring:)

 I LOVE how Sarah is looking up at Kellen:)  He was trying to show her how the snow has melted away, but all she wanted to to was stare at him:)

Finally, checking it out for herself.

 The beautiful big brother:)

 Not the best picture:)  The stunned baby with her crazy-smile big brother:)

The Kiddies Hanging out Together

 Sarah loves playing in Kellen's room.  Every morning, she points to his room, and it is the first place she wants to go to (boy, does she loves her big brother!).

Then, we go brush Kellen's teeth (while Sarah walks around the bathtub, and tries to push anything into the tub).

 After Kellen brushes his teeth, he brushes his hair - while Sarah watches in the background.

 A self portrait taken by Kellen!

 Sarah hanging out at breakfast.

 Kellen is still brushing his hair!

 ...and back to Sarah having her breakfast.

 And at the end of the day, having a bath together.  They love the bath - and Sarah loves trying to splash Kellen.

 Before bath, helping Daddy open a present (a late birthday present).

 Kellen watching Daddy open the card.

 Another awesome pic by Kellen - I squish your face:)

Sarah's 1st Year Appt

Just to let everyone know her stats!

Sarah is 24.5 pounds, and 31 inches long!  She is in the 90th percentile for weight, and 95th percentile for height!  She is just a big baby!  However, she is smaller than Kellen was at this age - he was 25.5 pounds, and 32.5 inches long (he has always been so tall!

Sarah's First Birthday Party!

 Last weekend (Sun. March 24) we celebrated Sarah's first birthday party (her 1st birthday was actually on March 7, while we were in Florida).  So, these pictures uploaded in some completely random order - I apologize for that!  

Sarah had chocolate cake for the first time at her party!  She loved it!!  Above is her eating her birthday cake - she especially loved the icing!

And, here are Ryder and Kellen blowing out the candles on her cake for her.

 More birthday cake!

 ..."Happy birthday to you...."

 "MOMMY!"  This is Sarah's famous pose when she sees me walk into a room!

 Sharlene and baby Alayna (Lainie)

 The kiddies

 Lunchtime.  We had pizza, garlic bread sticks, fruit and veggies, and chips.  Yum!

 Hello, Uncle Garrett!

 I love this picture!  Auntie Kathy bought Sarah a talking picnic basket - and Sarah is obsessed with it!  She kept opening it up, and looking inside to figure out who was talking to her - too funny!

 Sarah and her boyfriend, Carson!

 Playing with Auntie Kathy.

 Check out Parker's crazy hair!  He is so big now!

 I kept trying to get a picture of the two kids together - Kellen was getting a bit bored waiting for his sister to look up at the camera....this is seriously the best shot I got!

 Again...."WHO'S SAYING THAT!?!?!??"

 Ryder did a great job at vacuuming the floor!

 Hi Kat!

 The Moore Family!  I love the pose by Caden!

 The Elliott Family!  I love how Sarah is striking a pose for this one!
