Little Man Walk

A couple weeks ago August took his first steps.  He is getting more confident and super cute.  It is fun to watch him interacting with our family.  He seems to be ready to join in on the party when he is here.  We were playing games at the table the other day and he played with a toy, then began crawling under our legs, then went from person to person trying to be a part of the game.  He is quite interested in Aidric and it is hard not to when Aidric is so busy lately.  Here are some sweet pictures from the other day.  Just wanted to share.

Have a great day.

Awesome Mommy and Daddy!

Aidric wanted to be a part of the pictures.  

He is having such a fun time growing and exploring. 

Sweet Sixteen

Being a mom is so amazing.  From finding the extra line on the stick, to giving birth and little sleep, to potty training, school, activities galore, driving license, graduation, marriage, grand babies; wow how it goes so fast filled with lots of milestones in between.  We are at another milestone here as Sierra turns sweet sixteen.  That is so fitting for her, she has always been our sweet Sierra.  As a little one she would tell perfect strangers who were kind to her, how she loved them, (much to their dismay and my shock) and she was very sincere.  Now we celebrate that little girl turning 16.  How exciting it is to watch her grow and mature into the woman God wants her to be.  I am blessed to see her strong faith and determination to do her best.  God has good things in store for you Sierra, I love you with all my heart.  Happy Birthday!

Here are some lovely birthday pictures.  Have a great day.

The silly dog did not want to leave her alone.  He kept trying to photo
bomb and sit in her lap.  

Danika's a Teen

There is another teen in the house, and a beauty at that.  Happy Birthday Danika!  We were able to get some lovely pictures this morning, along with crepes (Danika's favorite birthday breakfast).  So, it was a good morning.  God bless you this year my little girl with so much beautiful hair.  We are so proud of the woman of God you are becoming!  God bless you this year.

Have a great blessed day.
Mom, Alicia

Birthday Pictures!

I got a little behind on Aidric's and Isabella's birthday pictures.  The weather on their birthdays was not so good for pictures.  So, finally I got them done.  I am pretty happy with most of them.  Aidric did awesome on posing and he is so good at following directions now, but then his smile doesn't always look natural.  Then it was Isabella's turn today.  It takes several of us to get a straight on picture, but she is very happy and all natural.  Danika took some of me and each of them and I just love them.  I love each of my children so deeply and am so thankful to the Lord for giving me each little blessing.  Now we have our first grand baby and wow, the love we have for that little guy!  If we love our children so much just imagine the love the Father has for us.  God is so good!

Have a great day and I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Loving this spring weather,
Alicia
