Karli's Birthday


Karli is Three!  Yippee :)
She had a really fun birthday
and was so sweet throughout the whole day.
She had a lot of fun feeling big and special!
We started her special day in the morning before Tyler went to work.
She opened presents and we had breakfast together.

Very last minute we gathered a few friends and cousins together
for lunch and a little playtime!
It was a fun little party and was just what Karli wanted on her birthday
...along with pink lemonade and pink cupcakes with purple frosting
...and don't forget the pink hearts on top :)




We had a picnic for dinner at a BIG, fun park
and enjoyed the evening as a family!

Rilee's Baby Blessing

Our sweet Rilee Mathilde was blessed this last Sunday.
It was a very special day.
The blessing dress that Rilee is wearing
is the same dress that each of our girls have worn. 
Tyler's Aunt made it. 
We then have made a bow for each of them
and my sister-in-law has made them each a special little bracelet.

happy baby Rilee



Rilee is such a sweetheart!
We love having her in our family.
Alexa and Karli can't seem to get enough of her,
and Tyler and I think she is a little angel.
Three girls has gone well for us so far:)
They are each so different and fun
and make life CRAZY and full of JOY!

Isn't Rilee cute?  She is getting so big! 
It is so much fun having her around!

Our canal in behind our backyard has now been filled in with a big pipe.
They have plans to put a couple of trails there, but for now we call it the "dirt hills!" 
We've had fun going on little walks back there!
(that's where we were going in this picture)


We sure love making little Rilee smile!




Cousin Jade hung out at our home the other day...just like the good ol' days...

Summer is here and the weather is right (finally) and we are excited!

Oceanside May 2011


We had a great time in Oceanside
with our Shelley side of the family!
It was great getting together with everyone
(minus Garrett--missed you!) for a whole week!

Cute little Rilee spent most of her time all bundled up in the stroller!
She took some great naps!

A guy at the beach one day taught Tyler how to surf
and let him borrow his board for a little while.
Tyler LOVED it, and has been craving it ever since!

...feels a lot bigger than it looks :)

Everyone was headed out into the water...
well, Tyler beat everyone in by sprinting and doing a great big dive
...or belly flop...

Digging for sand crabs
The girls thought those were pretty cool!
