Easter & Mia's Blessing Day

We blessed Emma on Super Bowl Sunday and James on Mother's Day so we decided to keep the tradition going. Mia was blessed March 31st on Easter Sunday by her father. Quinn gave her the most beautiful blessing and she didn't make a peep.  It also turned out to be a beautiful warm spring day. The kids had fun exploring their Easter baskets and hunting for eggs. The Easter Bunny was very generous once again.

Happy Birthday James Part 2

James had a quiet birthday at home on his actual birthday but the day before we took him out to lunch and to the zoo. Unfortunately our camera batteries were all dead so we didn't get a single picture but had a fun day. Here are a few from his birthday day. Cat in the Hat tablecloth, a Mickey Mouse balloon and Elmo cupcakes. We just through together whatever we could find, and he loved it! 

This is what Mia thought of it all.

This Woody Doll (that talks when you pull his string) turned out to be his favorite toy and it came from the D.I.

More Cars stuff: books, coloring books and clothes.

Last of all his very own scooter!

 

 

Then it was more presents at the Van Bibbers.

Star Wars action figures!

His very own super hero cape and mask!

 

I think James had a very good birthday and we can't believe that he is three years old already.

Happy Birthday James!!

 

Happy Birthday James

So every time I sit down to blog now something always comes up with three kids but I will try my best to get caught up and stay on top of it. Almost a month ago our sweet James celebrated his third birthday. Here are the pictures from the celebration with the Lavender family.

If you didn't know James loves cars here is proof but there seems to be a traffic jam on the race track.

Quinn and Emma, she is still Daddy's girl.

Every time we go to the Lavenders James pulls out the book of our Disneyland vacation from when he was only three months old and sits on Grandpa's or Cousin Tanner's lap to look at it.

Christian and Nicole also celebrated a birthday this month.

 



A big present!

Cars blanket.

 



Emergency vehicles and of course they make a lot of noise.

A Cars tent.

Yummy cake!!
