Nia's 4th Birthday Party

My little Nia keeps getting bigger and bigger! She is 4 years old today! We had a birthday tea to celebrate. We had lots of yummy treats, good friends, and of course presents. Nia had such a good time!

The girls!

We went to the school yesterday and Aunt Melissa took pictures of the girls and their cousin Lyla. They are all getting so big! Nia started preschool and is writing her name (she is very impressed with herself!), Emilia is causing as much trouble as she can and making us all laugh(most of the time:) in the process, and little Rosie is my angel baby, already sleeping through the night and never crying except to tell me she needs something. Lyla has been a great little addition! Her cousins love playing with her (and bossing her arround occasionally:)

Weekend projects...

Well we have been busy! This weekend we had our new patio poured. I has been so fun to fix up our home and it's looking fabulous by the way! (we are so blessed) And I am sanding down and repainting an antique dresser for Nia's new room (pictures to come), but for now here are some photos of the patio before, during, and after construction....

Fun with playdough!

We made our first attempt at homeade playdough. It was a little sticky, but the girls still had fun. Nia got creative and made a "burrito", Emilia felt that it worked better as a snack!

Rosie (our little chunk!)

I apologize for never updating this thing! But I promise to be more dilligent at blogging in the future. ...

Here is our little Rosie at 6 weeks. She was our biggest baby at 7 lb. 15 oz. and is continuing to surpass her sisters...she is now almost 12 lbs. We are enjoying her so much...sweet baby girl!

Time for an update!

So it's been like 5 months since my last post...and it's been busy! Mom and Dad were here for a few months. Then we discovered we were pregnant...and I have done pretty much nothing for the last 2 months due to morning sickness, but seeing as I'm starting to feel better I'm trying to catch up on our lives! So here are some recent photos of our beautiful, growing girls Nia (3yrs.) and Emilia (10 1/2 mo.). Also our Christmas pics. Enjoy!

Our Girls!

Here's Nia giving her little sissy a big hug! Emilia thinks Nia is hilarious and is always laughing at her.
