Eden had a Birthday shout hooray!

I totally forgot to post this about Edens birthday. And I know I have more pictures that I took but I can't find them.

We blew up a bunch of balloons and Edens Nursery leaders brought some by as well with a candy. All the kids loved playing with them

I just can't get enough of this girls bright blue eyes and beautiful curly hair. She is fun to be around too!

 

 

 

She asked for a red ball and always wanted a tonka truck. Random, I know. She also got a movie of her favorite show  now "Doc Mcstuffins" and some much needed cute clothes. thanks everyone for the gifts and for wishing her a happy day!

She asked for jello for her birthday so I decided to try layered jello. Tons of work, and it didn't turn out like the picture. But it did actually tasted better than any jello I have had before. 

Love you Eden you are fun and sweet, polite and a joy to be around. I love cuddling with you and reading books and having interesting conversations with you. you are my buddy. 

 

What we have been up to

We have had fun playing in the water in our little pool. Sometimes I wish I had a huge pool, but this is easy and I don't have to worry to much with a small one. 

 

Dress up. Eden got out the costumes and we had some friends over that wanted to put some on the boys too. They had fun. 

 

 

These are my crazy tall sunflowers! Love it. I really like the smaller orange/red ones though. 

 

So on facebook the other day I posted that almost every time Eden cries then the boys crawl up to her and give her hugs and pat her back and say "ohhhhh" and it is so dang cute! I have tried to cature it on camera for a while now but anytime I get it out they staop and do something else or just stare at me:(

So I got them to do it with a stuffed animal instead. Any stuffed play thing or doll, they call it a  baby. 

Treyden saying "0hhh" and patting its back

Same with Kason

If you didn't notice before Treyden has a huge bump on his forehead. It looks worse in real life. He tried to climb on a stool in the kitchen and it toppled on to him before he could get anywhere and whacked him in the head. The first on many more I am sure. 

 

Trip to Snowflake

I know this is late, but here are some pictures from our trip tp Snowflake. we enjoyed hanging out at G. Kathy's and pullling kids on the zipline. Even the boys loved it. Eden had a blast hanging out with Kamy. Eden shays she is her best friend. We loved being with GG and Grandpa. Can't wait to see everyone this week!

Bragging Rights

So, I get to brag about Jay a little bit. Ok, maybe not brag, but inform at least that he is doing great in his job at Hill-Rom. He just earned an award this week. He was nominated for the Territory Service Award of Excellence for this past quarter for dedication and outstanding customer service. He has only been there for 9 months. One of his coworkers has been there 10 years and just barely this year started to get these awards. If he continues to do well and be in the top 1% of all the Techs in the S.W. region he could earn a paid vacation trip. Good job Jay, I know you are a hard worker and anyone can see you are trustworthy and full of integrity. you don't mess around and work til the job is done. I love that about you! Shout out to all the Russells and Rogers for teaching my husband great work ethics. Love you Jay!
