What a great place to have a wedding!

This weekend we will be heading to Calgary to enjoy Ed's sisters Lori and Dave's wedding reception. We attended there wedding in Mexico in January and now they are having a big reception because most people could not attend the wedding. We are looking forward to a nice get away in Calgary. If only the weather would get better there, it has been cold and snowy. I am trying to pack this morning and feel lost to what to pack. I guess we are going to have to pull out all of our winter clothes again. I will update my blog when we get back from Calgary!

Our new Playhouse!

We got a belated Christmas present delivered to our door for our little Madeline. We have waiting since Christmas to get this special present, but it has been on back order. When the delivery man brought the playhouse up the stairs, Madeline was so excited. When daddy got home we opened up the box and got all the parts out and made the beautiful little playhouse. She has been having such a wonderful time going in and out of the playhouse. Looking in the door, looking out of the window at us....It is wonderful that she has a great little play area on the patio and mommy & daddy have a nice relaxing area on the patio to watch her. Thank you Grandpa and Grandma for the great playhouse. Love Madeline

Arden's 2nd Birthday

Easter weekend we headed down to Everett, Washington to celebrate my cousin Taryn's daughters 2nd Birthday. We had a great time at the party, as you can see above the party was a Cupcake theme. Taryn did a great job decorating for the party and making a cupcake cake.

Here are Madeline and I watching her open her gifts.

Playing the cupcake game, Madeline loved playing the game. It was pin the cherry on the cupcake.

Here is the 2 year old and her parents, she is a sweet little girl with a joy for life.

Thanks Arden for inviting us to your birthday time we had a great time!!!

There is Spring in the Air!

Giving her daddy loves!

My cute little girl enjoying the Spring weather!

Spring is such a great time of the year. I love seeing the sunshine outside and seeing the flowers start to grow. God is such a wonderful creater!

Madeline has been enjoying being outside so much, when she wants to go outside she says bye, bye...it is so cute! She has been helping her daddy in the yard and exploring everything and anything she can. Don't you just love Spring, the sun, the flowers, the warmth.

"And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the third day."Genesis 1:11-13

Children are wonderful!

We thank God everyday for giving us a wonderful little girl. What a blessing to have her in our lives and watch her grow & learn so much. We had FAITH that God would give us a baby and he did. That is the reason why her middle name is Faith. Thank you God for our wonderful little girl, she is a wonderful gift.

Psalm 127:3 "Children are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him."
