Isla Hope Turns 1!!!

"Presents-Yes Please!"

 Isla Hope turned 1 year old on December 6, 2011.  What a fantastic milestone for our sweet girl.  We often say, "Isla is perfect."  Quite frankly, she really is.  She still goes to bed at 6:15 each night, sleeps through the night, and is just all around fabulous.  Shortly after her birthday, she was off and walking as well.  My heart overflows with love for her, and I know her brother loves her as well.  They are starting to play more together.  Just tonight, Rowan was giving her Raspberries on her tummy, and she just laughed and laughed. 

Owl cupcakes were her treat.

This is yummy!

Isla ate most of her cupcake.  Look at that happy face:-)

Rowan Blane Turns 4!

Our sweet boy turned 4 this year. He was insistent on a Spiderman birthday party and a trip to Chuckie Cheese. Alex took Rowan to Chuckie Cheese in the afternoon and then that evening we celebrated Rowan Blane. Alex's parents were here, his sister, Reesa, and good family friends, Sheila, Kevin, Adam, and Lillian. We ate pizza, Spiderman cupcakes, and then spent the night opening presents. It was such a sweet party!

Rowan enjoyed his one-on-one time with Dad at Chuck E. Cheese.

A party also meant presents! He was blessed with many fantastic gifts. One of his favorite was the guitar from Uncle Tyler and Aunt Heather. We have all had lots of fun playing with it! He was playing behind his head in the picture. It was hilarious to watch.
