Sleeping in a toy

I was trying to get things ready for Amalee's birthday party tonight so I put Dallin in his bouncy toy. He sits in it while I don't want him to get into whatever I'm doing. I was sewing up the rips in the girls princess dresses. One second he was fussing and the next when I looked at his this is how he was!

This is the first time he has fallen asleep in a toy or by himself without me helping him fall asleep. He is so cute!

He is even using his hand as a pillow. So funny!!!

5 years ago today! Amalee

I am such a lucky mom to have Amalee for a daughter! She is such a sweet girl and I just love her. She is my little peanut! From the day she was born she has been such a tiny little girl! And since Abram has been away working she has been such a great helper without complaining (well most of the time.) I really can't believe I have a 5 year old. I'm also lucky to have a little girl that everyone says looks just like me!

Amalee is sensitive, sweet, always wanting to help, great big sister, loves Jesus, Her Heavenly Father, going to church, and learning new things.

So here is a couple of pics. One for every year she has been in our home!

The day she was born! 5 years ago!

And this year Amalee got to go out with just her mommy! So today when I asked her what she wanted to do she said eat pizza and take pictures together. She has been wanting to take picture in the photo booth at the mall so that is just what we did! It was so nice to be with just her. We got to talk and have fun together. I think she enjoyed it a lot too cause I don't know the last time it was just me and her. She didn't want the night to end.

Cookie night with Daddy!!

Amalee has been asking to make a cookie for daddy since he came home last Saturday. So we decided to make sugar cookies so that the girls and daddy could decorate them together! As you can see they had a blast!

The 2 flower cookies were decorated my me and Abram! Aren't they cute? Haha!

Daddy with his beautiful girls!

Amalee taking a big bite out of her bunny cookie! Both Amalee and Maggie just wanted to lick the frosting off the cookie so I had to tell her to eat the whole thing!

We had a wonderful night together! It has been so nice having Abram home for more then just a weekend. He has so much fun playing with his kids. I see my kids so much more happy too when he is home. He makes them laugh so easily! We love you hunny!

Dallin's 2 teeth

Ok so I know that I have a ton of pic of my little boy on here and not so many of my girls. He is my third kid but my first boy. So I take a ton of pictures of him! This is him at 10 months! He would be such a happy boy if it weren't for teething:( He still loves to smile, laugh, and crawl around all the time! He is so much fun! I love his beautiful eyes. It's amazing how just looking at him can brighten up my day!

1st day of school pics

Just some cute pics!

Aren't they cute! Amalee is trying to read to her siblings! Dallin just wanted to eat the book! Maggie looks so happy to have her big sister reading to her!

Dallin is looking up at Maggie while playing in the dryer. I love his wonderful smile. I just have to smile every time he does!

If you blow up the pic you can see Dallin's first tooth!
He loves playing with the dryer door while I put clothes in it!

Daddy and Dallin

When Abram came home this weekend he wanted to spend as much time as he could with his kids. I should have taken more pics. He was so cute playing with them! This pic of Daddy with Dallin just melts my heart! I was trying to get the girls ready for church and he asked what he could do to help. I gave him Dallin and said to give him a bottle and that Dallin would probably fall asleep. This is the first time Dallin fell asleep with a bottle. Abram did such a wonderful job helping out. I love him so much. I know now why people say you don't know how sweet you have it til you taste the bitter. Well I have tasted the bitter and it has made having the sweet that much sweeter. I really do appreciate my hubby a ton more now that his job takes him away for a while.
