Little Bits of Heaven: March 2012

http://little-bits-of-heaven.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html

Saturday, March 24, 2012. Birthday Season Begins.Happy Birthday Dad! We couldn't let number 36 get by without sharing our love for our AMAZING Dad so. Brad received an EXTRA LARGE Birthday card with 36 reasons we love him. The kids wrote in different colors so he knew who wrote each love note. Had to include a picture of Ella at her favorite look-out spot. I remember Andrew doing this exact thing- watching the action from inside and wanting to be outside with the big kids.

Little Bits of Heaven: December 2011

http://little-bits-of-heaven.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html

Friday, December 30, 2011. As I reflect on Christmas, I'm trying to remember all the traditions we DID get to do, and not focus on the things that we had to let go. Having four kids makes me consider what is most important and realize that some years some things just might not happen. Here are some of our Christmas memories from 2011:. Wrapping presents and putting them under the tree. The photos don't do justice to one of my favorite trees we've ever gotten (Gotta love Home Depot! The night before Chris...

http://little-bits-of-heaven.blogspot.com/2012/05/baptism-day.html

Saturday, May 5, 2012. The night before Lauren's baptism, our visitors started to arrive. First order of business, according to Andrew: "play JINX! Lauren received her own set of scriptures with her name engraved on them. And a scripture case! The next day was spent doing some last-minute preparations and welcoming our guests. Lauren got to have a special date with Gram-Z and Papa that morning. They ate at Mimi's for breakfast- her favorite! We sure love and miss our cousins! June 15, 2012 at 11:42 PM.

Thursday, September 1, 2011. Here are my big kids Caleb and Lauren posing for the traditional in-front-of-the-front-door shot. The Big Man on Campus:. Guess what we did while the kids were at school? The kids enjoyed our cookies and told us all about their first days of school when they got home. A couple of weeks later, it was this guy's turn. He loved having his own photo shoot. Little Ella loved posing too! Caleb and Lauren have pictures just like this one. Mrs Hammer greeted him with a smile.

Thursday, October 13, 2011. This little boy's birthday could not come fast enough this year. I worked at preschool on the day they celebrated his birthday. It was fun to have a front row seat for all the special attention he received. He was SO happy that day! And he answered "Four! Andrew got to choose a restaurant for dinner that night. This is a treat for everyone, since we never go out to eat with four kids! Andrew got some great presents for his birthday! His birthday cake request: chocolate! He is ...

Little Bits of Heaven: January 2012

http://little-bits-of-heaven.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html

Monday, January 30, 2012. Brad and Caleb have one goal for the car they design and make for the Pinewood Derby each year: for it to do better than it did the previous year. For the third time, they achieved that goal. This year they achieved their goal and even surpassed expectations- The Bullet even made it to the finals! It was much more exciting than we captured in this one and only picture we took that night:. Caleb was pretty proud of his speedster! Thursday, January 26, 2012. Well, almost. This...

Thursday, June 30, 2011. End of School Year Wrap-Up. With the help of Dad, uncles, and grandparents, Caleb created an amazing contraption to support his egg at the 4th grade "Egg Drop" and it survived without a crack! Materials used: bubble wrap, parachute, and paper cups. Caleb made real progress in his Karate class towards earning his purple belt. Lauren had a fun splash party with her first grade friends at the park during the last week of school. Brad was invited to Donuts for Dad in Caleb's class.

Little Bits of Heaven: April 2012

http://little-bits-of-heaven.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html

Monday, April 30, 2012. Same stroller, different baby. Lauren used to stick Andrew into this stroller and push him all over the house. And he loved it! This was March 2009, when she was almost 5 and he was 17 months). So when we pulled the stroller out again for Ella to play with, it's no surprise that Lauren stuck her right in and took her for a ride. Kinda reminds me of a little old lady for some reason. But Ella thinks she's the coolest baby in town. Friday, April 27, 2012. Of course she loved it!

Little Bits of Heaven: July 2011

http://little-bits-of-heaven.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html

Monday, July 25, 2011. We packed in the fun in Utah in July. Here are a few of the highlights (pardon the collage-fest). Early morning temple sealings. I left Ella in good hands with cousin Breanne and her assistants :). The mural on the wall at the Wilk is the next best thing to the real deal on the mountain. Always a hit. Andrew was a machine. You had to be on your toes when it was your turn or he would bowl for you. I don't think he sat down once. Taking turns getting Ella-snuggles. We all loved getti...
