"Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't and believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said it'd be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

Kayla's 5th Birthday

Kayla celebrated her 5th birthday and the theme she chose this year was Doc McStuffins.  She had a great time with her friends and family.  A BIG thank you to everyone who helped with the party.  I couldn't have got this all done without your help;-)  And a BIG thank you for everyone who was able to come up to celebrate!  It's not always easy not having family close by, so we really appreciate it when you come and see us! :-) 
 
 











 
I still can't believe my baby girl is now 5.  It's exciting to see her grow, learn, and do new things.  I just wish it didn't all happen so fast.  It seems like yesterday she was just learning to walk and now she is learning to read.  Five years has come and gone way too fast for this mommy:-(  She will always be our sweet baby Kayla.  We are so proud of you Kayla Jade and love you more than you know!  Thank you for being the best daughter we could have ever dreamed of!

Kayla (almost) 5 yrs; Rylan 21 months

I snapped some quick photos of the kids on a "warm" day.  It was about 50 some degrees out but Rylan was still cold.  I only got a few pics of him because he was getting cold.  But at least we got a few.  Here they are:

Jasper

It's been another fun year with Jasper this year.  He will be returning to the North Pole with Santa soon.  The kids will sure miss him and some tears have already been shed:-(  He really does become a part of our family.  We can't wait to see him again next year.  We love you Jasper!

Santa

Rylan did NOT like Santa, and I could not pry him off of me...so Mommy had to join in the Santa photo.

Kayla's Preschool Christmas Program

Tonight was Kayla's Christmas Program at preschool.  She picked out her own outfit she wanted to wear.  I was worried she would be shy and get scared when she saw the people in the audience when it came time to sing.  She was excited all day for the program and when it came time to go on stage and sing, she was ALL about it!  She stood up there and sang and had a fun time.  She amazed me once again:-)  It was so cute to see her up there with her class becoming such a big girl.  It was all I could do not to cry.  We are so proud of our baby girl and glad that she had fun at her first program!
 




 
 
Rylan's favorite part of the program was the cookies they gave out afterwards!
