Birthday Girl!!

Today is Violet's birthday so here are some pics from our day! Nothing too eventful but fun none the less! We are so blessed to have her in our lives; it's so much fun seeing her grow up! She really has become quite the young lady so far!

Here is a gift Violet got to open this morning when she woke up. Kaed wrote everyone's name on it..so cute!

Here she is when she saw the present...soooo excited!

I know, I know, not much of a birthday cake! But hey, it's better than nothing! We are celebrating with a cake on Saturday, so this was her special doughnut breakfast! She still thought it was great!

Here we are at lunch together..thought this was a cool shot of Merce trying to get a drink of water...Miss Independent!

Back home again playing with her new "beauty set"!

Kiddos

Mercedes is getting to be such a big girl, it's insane! She's 19 months this week and really growing! She is starting to say more words and has decided to do big girl things..like no more high chair, walking from the van to a building (no more stroller or mommy holding her), and even fighting to wear a diaper (she wants big girl underwear)! I'm not ready for this!!

This would be the kids interpretation of the little girl on the movie "Dispicable me". If you haven't seen the movie, you should...it's pretty funny!

Here are Kaed and Vi in their awesome sunglasses from a birthday party they went to. They are so cute!

A special message from Violet...

We thought a message would brighten the hearts of some special people...

SUPERBOWL SUNDAY!!

Here we all are in our Packer gear!! ...can you see the nervous smile Lance has??? It is the morning of Superbowl day!!!


Merce is absolutely enthralled with the train set!! She loves that thing! Her favorite spot she squeezes into so she can be as close as possible!

Crazies!

Those crazy goggles require a picture every time! Each kid takes their turn with them and I generally take a pic..cause it's too hilarious!
