Reed's Firth Year Fiesta

 We cannot believe that our sweet little Reed is 5!

 Our boys are quite blessed to have a mother that is an amazing party planner.

 Abbey decided that Reed's birthday would be a Fiesta since he LOVES Mexican food.

 Of course, Abbey's good friend, Etsy was helpful in finding all of the right birthday signs, invitations, etc.

 I love Abbey's sombrero cake.

 Reed was really excited about his birthday party. He continually reminded us that he was the birthday boy.

 Aunt Ava made reed his amazing shirts.

 Nash is now ready for his birthday party next month.

 Will is so glad that Pop and Lola are here.

 The kids all got to make their own maracas.

 Reed's best friend Britton was at the party. Reed loves Britton. Always has.

 The silly brothers love each other as well.

 The spread was AMAZING. Tacos, Cheese quesadillas, chips and rotel, homemade salsa, fruit salsa, and churros.

 Lola was a HUGE help to Abbey. Abbey and Lola did all of the decorating and cooking. I worked on clean up.

 Nashy knows which present was his favorite.

 Our "nanny" Miss Kelsie came to the birthday party. She is a blessing. We are trying to talk her into moving in.

Will enjoyed LOTS of candy!

We are so blessed! So excited to have our Reed. So thankful that God lets us be his parents and still gave us more.

Valentine's Day at Chick-fil-a

 Another Valentine's Day has come and is almost gone, and another day that we are reminded just how blessed we are.

 Will has been completely adorable lately. He is really starting to talk a lot and has the cutest little tricks. I've got to get my phone upgraded so that I can get my microphone working and get some videos.

 Tonight we had our annual Valentine's Day party at Chick-fil-a. It was fun to have our friends their.

 Amber Joy came for her first American Valentine's Day.

 The Davidson's were there. Cate and Carah enjoyed the baby time with AJ and Will.

 Abbey remembered to bring some coloring books and colors for the boys to play with when they weren't in the playland.

 Miss Candace brought Valentine's Day goodies for each family.

 Caleb is really serious about his coloring. He is a good colorer. I'm amazed that my boys have started to focus so much on their coloring. They are definitely getting older. Speaking of older, can you believe that Reed is going to be 5 in two days?

 Uncle Bil and Will enjoyed some time together. Will let Uncle Bill color.

 I think I was telling them how much I love my Valentine.

 On second thought, it looks like we got caught.

 Nash LOVES Caleb. Reed loves Caleb to, but Reed is a little older. Nash and Caleb are pretty close buds. Nash says Caleb is his best friend.

 Can you believe how awesome my wife looks? She is amazing!

 I can't believe how old Carah has gotten. So sweet (but she didn't talk to me hardly at all. Guess I am not cool enough.).

 Will loves Uncle Buh.

Poppy's Almost 60!

 I so remember thinking that 60 was old! As I've gotten a little older, I've realize more and more just how young 60 is. Especially, now that my daddy is turning 60 in a couple of weeks. His birthday is the day before Reed's.

 When Poppy was here last week, we decided to celebrate his birthday early with a strawberry cake. My Mimi (dad's mom) used to make strawberry cakes. Daddy always said that if Mimi made a "pretty" cake, DON'T eat it. But, if it falls apart, eat it up! Abbey's cake was delicious and pretty, but when she cut into it, it started resembling Mimi's cake.

 I love my dad so much and I am thankful for his 60th year on earth!

 Yesterday, while the boys napped. Abbey and Reed tried a new "crock pot" cake recipe.

 We enjoyed it last night after eating some sloppy joes.

 Reed did the photography and I think that he did really well.

 The recipe was a chocolate pudding cake. It was really good and very rich.

Unfortunately, we forgot the final product picture. It was really good though, but we all decided it would have been good with some vanilla bean ice cream.
