Keslie's birthday pics





Party pics






Birthday party FUN!





It was Keslie's Birthday yesterday! It's Emily's Birthday on Monday. So yesterday we partied all day long literally. We started the day with Emily's 4th Princess Birthday party. It was so much fun. All the little "Princesses" were greeted at the Reed castle by REAL PRINCESSES!!! Sleeping Beauty (Keslie), Tinkerbell (Keslie's friend Kaitlin) and Bell (Mckenzie) they were adorned in a beautiful necklace and ring. No princess is complete without her crown, so we made beautiful crowns. Then we colored a princess picture so that the REAL princesses could sign them for the girls. Then it was off to play a pretty princess dress up game. Then we made princess cookie star wands. The girls got to frost and decorate them, they really liked that! After presents the girls ate their Cinderella cake. I was surprised at how much they loved drinking out of the real glass tea cups, it was really cute. We had so much fun! The were the cutest princesses I have ever seen! Then it was time for Keslie's 14th birthday party, yes I have a 14 year old wow! Anyway, she invited some friends from her old school and new school. We ate pizza, played the M&M game and watched a movie. Thanks goodness Julie was there. For those of you who don't know Julie, she has babysat for our family since I was pregnant with TJ both times we went to Hawaii, she watched the kids. There is no way I could EVER leave them with anyone else, if it weren't for her I would never go anywhere. I trust her so much with my kids and love her like a little sister. She helped me get my blog looking presentable. Thanks Julie. Anyway, she had some great party game ideas. We played the HA HA game, We laughed so hard we cried it was so awesome. I think the girls had fun! Happy Birthday Keslie and Emily we love you girls very much. Keslie you are growing up to be such a beautiful young lady. I appreciate all of your help around the house and with the kids. I really do enjoy spending time with you going to the mall and talking. You are such a sweet girl. Not very many mom's of teenagers can say that, I am so grateful that I can. You are a one of a kind. Emily you are really growing up, you are such a helpful and kind person. You are loving of everyone and so funny. You always make everyone laugh. We love you both so much.

Pictures!


I think I may have figured out pictures! So here are some random ones from the past few months, since I haven't posted them. I thought I would put some of Christmas and of Aysha's rough start, most of you didn't get to see her all tubed up! You'll know why I was so upset when you see the pictures. It's sitll hard for me to look at them! Anyway enjoy!

o.k. it's been a while sorry


I am sorry it's been a while. I am still trying to figure out pictures. Anyway, it's Keslie's 14th birthday on Saturday and it's Emily's 4th Birthday on Monday. We are celebrating both big days this Saturday. It should be interesting to have 2 parties in one day! whew! I figured I would just get them both done at once. My girls are getting so big! They all are growing up so fast. Bryson will be 12 on Feb 15th. He will be getting the priesthood. Wow, I can't believe it. My son is going to be passing the sacrament. Our little Aysha is almost 4 months already and can I just say that she really is the sweetest, happiest, smiliest baby ever! She is so cute and happy and content. I love her to pieces and enjoy every moment because I know how fast they grow up. Emily is going to have a princess party on Sat it should be very fun we are going to make star wand cookies. Make princess crowns, play a princess dress up game and play a princess and the pea game. I hope it will be fun. I have invited all of her cousins along with a few friends. She is very excited and tells me that Saturday is to far away! I will hopefully post pictures of it after, because Melinda is going to help me to figure this whole thing out when she brings Laura to the party! Thanks Melinda, in advance. Hope all is well with everyone! We'll have picture's of the birthday's next week. come check back soon.

Yay! Suzanne and Ryan aren''t moving to Seattle

They are moving however, just not to Seattle. We are so happy they are staying. I was holding Louisa today and started tearing up, Suzanne asked me what was wrong I am just so happy that I get to see my sweet neices and nephew grow up and that they aren't moving away that I can't stand it! We love you guys so much. We spent a very busy day helping them load up their storage pod today and packing the rest of the house.
Aysha is getting sooooo big. She is in 6 month clothes already! So much for having a newborn for very long. She's a doll though. She really remindes me of Bryson when he was a baby. Emily is excited to be back at school. The other kids however, aren't so excited about that. They are all getting along very well though and happy at their new school. I am glad because I felt very guilty about moving them! We have been very healthy this winter over all, a few colds here and there, but nothing major. I am grateful for this! After having Aysha so sick I needed a break so that has been nice. Keslie is really a teenager! She is so funny she is such a great liitle 2nd mommy to the little girls! I really don't know what I would do without her. Bryson is also turning into a tweenager! So is Mckenzie for that matter. On the way to Suzanne's today both Bryson and Mckenzie were in the car listening to their mp3 players with their earphones on singing. It was so funny, Bob and I are in for a fun road ahead. We are soon going to have a house full of teenagers!!!!! I'm a little nervous to be honest. But, ready for the challenge. I love our kids so much they are my life!!!!
