Landen's 1st Birthday!

Landen had a GREAT first birthday, complete with family and a GREAT BIG OL CAKE, made special for him, by Aunt Renae.A BIG birthday kiss... she LOVES her baby brother so much, I just LOVE it.

More kisses, from his big sister and his cousin, stephanie.

This is the AWESOME monkey cake, complete with RUNTZ bananas that Aunt Renae made for Landen. The top came off, just for him to have, all to himself and he LOVED IT!

Landen's first Tonka toy dump truck, I LOVED that he fit in it, to open the rest of his gifts, he was totally contenet to sit in there while Olya and daddy helped open presents.

Olya's 4th Birthday!

Well, Olya has turned 4 and I can hardley believe it. I feel like she was just a baby yesterday. She will always be my baby, but man, is she growing up fast. This year, I think she has grown the most. Her sentences have become much more complete and she seems to have a much larger understanding of vocablulary and how to express herself. She is awesome and amazing and I am SO blssed to have her in my life.

Autumn, In My Back Yard

Here is my beautiful girl. And my gorgeous boy.

Here they are together. I LOVE the fall leaves and every year, I always want to do pics out there in them, well I finally was able to! I think they turned out great, but I really did have THE best models. I seriously should send these to GAP, don't you think?

mmm, sweet faces!
