Finally 5!!

Whitley Finally turned 5!
I say that not because I want her to get bigger or grow up- I really like the stage she is in for the most part- but because she has been telling everyone she is 4 1/2 for the past 11 months!! People tend to give ya strange looks when you have been 4 1/2 for almost a year!

For her birthday present Ryan and I gave her tickets to see Disney on Ice_ We got to take along Grandma Molly, Aunt Becky and Sharlyn and Cadie! The girlies liked everything about the show-especially the treats.

The girls had a blast!! They really liked seeing Mickey and Minnie but LOVED seeing the princesses!!
After the show was over we met with Aunt Amber and went to the salon were she got to get her nails painted. And just like a 5 year old picked the brightest, neon pink with sparkles she could find!!
She thought she was big stuff!!

On her actual birthday we had a fish themed birthday party at the living planet aquarium. Whitley shared the party with bryce!! we had fun eating lunch, opening WAY too many presents , anyone who knows Whitley knows this shirt was MADE for her.

and visiting with all or our family!!
After we went and explored the aquarium!
Whitleys favorite part by far was petting the stingrays-, We also loved the penguins,

her least favorite part was when Uncle Art accidently shocked her at the Electric Eel display.
We o-fish-ally had a great time! :)

We are so glad we have Whitley in our family- She is a spitfire who keeps us on our toes, but she is a great big sister and a awesome helper. She loves to play with friends and has no problem bossing all the boys around! and she has a great sense of style!!
Love ya Whitley!!

Little Bo Peep....

has found her sheep and Berkley is too little to do anything about it!!


I have to say I may have had the cutest sheep and Little Bo Peep in the world!!

And the spookiest skeleton, who is starting to think he may be too old to look cute in a picture- But really, really needs "Blood" on his face in order to go to school on dress up day!
I really dislike that Karden thinks he is too old to do the theme!!

We also ventured up to the Hogle Zoo for "Boo at the zoo"


I love Halloween and the zoo so I was in heaven, The kids had a blast trick or treating, and Ryan well, He REALLY loves me! Especially because it was FREEZING and we had to be at the zoo at 7:45AM. Yup- I have a great husband.


It was a spooktacular Halloween!!

Blessed!!

We finally got the opportunity to bless Berkley on November 5th. She looked gorgeous in the dress Barbara, my mother in law, had made her!! It was amazing!! Especially because the only pattern she had to make this dress was from a terrible picture off my cell phone!!
Berkley was a perfect angel all day and slept through her blessing..
Ryan Did really really good and gave her a beautiful blessing
after the blessing when we were trying to take pictures ( it is harder than it looks to get 5 people looking at he same camera at once!)
Berkley would NOT take her eyes off the ceiling, she was totally zoned!! This is so strange for her because anyone talking to her or looking at her gets the biggest gummy grin- She were talking, and jumping and making ourselves look like idiots and she was having none of it. Her eyes stayed glued to the same spot! I think that there were some angels there that day too! (Little grandma, Grandpa Craig and lots of other people who love her)

My three kiddos!! (again not looking at the same camera)

After we had a little get together luncheon and had a great time visiting and loving on berkley.






It was a great day!! and Berkley knows that it was her party and she'll cry if she wants too!
