Our 3 Year Old

Brielle is now 3 years old! She wanted a purple, pink and blue cake for her birthday. I guess you only turn 3 once!

 

For her birthday, we met with some cousins, aunts, and uncles and went to the Boise Zoo. The kids got to pet a jackrabbit.

Their's something about carousels when you are young. Our girls have always loved them. So we had to splurge on a carousel ride, only because it was her birthday :)

 

Here is her "3" rainbow cake. 

We sure love you, Brielle! You keep all of us smiling and laughing. Their is never a dull moment when you are around. You have a fiery attitude and want everything to go your way. You also make sure we all know we are loved. Their is never a day that passes that you don't whisper an "I love you" in each of our ears or spend some time cuddling with us. You are so good at showing your love and making us feel appreciated and blessed. We are so glad you are part of our family!!

Happy Girl

 

Evelyn really is the happiest little thing. She's pretty content just watching her sisters. Love that double chin!!

 

Mckenna and Brielle were playing in the sprinkler outside when our neighbor started mowing his lawn. For some reason, the girls found him so interesting and just sat and watched him mow his lawn. I hope he didn't mind too much :)

Great Grandpa Smith

Look who showed up today!! Great Grandpa Smith stopped by for a visit. It was so nice to visit with him for a while.

As always, he is the grandpa with all of the treats :).  He came with pockets full of snacks for the girls. And they enjoyed every minute of him being here. It is so fun watching my parents and grandparents be grandparents and great grandparents to my kids.

As a side note... the girls made a "sleigh" and used their stuffed animals as reindeer. Nothing like thinking about Christmas in June!

Evelou

We sure love this girl! It's crazy that she is already 2 months old. The more kids I have, the faster they grow up! :( We are just enjoying every little milestone she achieves. 

She loves talking to Daddy

 

Cutest thing ever!

 

I love the little baby toes sticking out of her blankets

The girls started calling Evelyn, Evelou. So far, the nickname is sticking pretty good.

First Smiles

We finally caught a few smiles on camera. Evelyn sure makes us work hard for her smiles!!

Mckenna found my hair waver from high school so she wanted to try it out. She looks a lot older!!

Older Sisters

You can definitely tell this little girl has older sisters :)

 

But who wouldn't love having a bunch of sisters? :)

Circus, Circus

We were able to go to the circus in La Grande. The girls loved it! I agree, it was pretty entertaining. Mckenna was especially excited to see the animals up close.

Crazies

These girls are too funny. I'm so glad they have eachother. They love to play together.

It seems like yesterday this little one actually fit in this carseat!

Last day of Preschool

Mckenna officially graduated from preschool. This was actually her 3rd preschool graduation :). She went to school at Bright Eyes Preschool and absolutely loved it.

 

Devin was able to make it to the graduation.

It's not a party if their isn't yummy treats.

Playtime

Mckenna is the best big sister. She is Evelyn's cheerleader. Every new thing Evelyn does or new sound she makes, Mckenna is right there cheering her on.

Evelyn's Blessing

We were so blessed to be able to have a lot of family come for Evelyn's blessing. This girl is loved!

Leave it to this silly man to liven up a family picture

Beautiful little girl

Their were all kinds of compliments on her dress that was made by Devin's mom. I like how it turned out.

We love you Evelyn! We are so grateful you are part of our family.
