Papa's in Portland!

What kind of person would I be if I didn't post pictures from all the fun visitors we've had lately?! First my Dad came back in March. We had so much fun. We kept him busy going to Multnomah Falls, a Blazers game, Omsi, voodoo (mmm... voodoo), and Clackamall. I know what you're thinking...what's a Clackamall? It's a mall over in Clackamas, but years ago Eden called it Clackamall, and that's just what we call it now :) If you've been around us for any length of time, you may have noticed that we kind of have our own language in these parts...and I love it. I think Eden's favorite part was when Papa told her he'd take us out for dinner. She got to choose what 'dinner store' we went to. She chose Red Robin. We had such a fun night, and a great visit with Papa!

Happy Valentines Day!!!

Rose are red

Violets are blue

My kids are so cute

I'll show them to you

Happy Birthday Baby Six!

On Tuesday Eden let me in on a little secret. She said "Guess what Mom, tomorrow it's Baby Six birthday!" I had no idea. Thanks goodness she told me, otherwise the whole day would have gone by like most any other...but instead this happened!

My Little Picasso

Eden loves to color. It started out just being a few scribbles with one color on a piece of paper. Next it was a bunch of colors, but still only using a little bit of the paper.

Then it was the whole entire sheet of paper covered in every color crayon she had. Then one day she asked me to draw her, so I did a stick girl. A few minutes later she did this.

The next day I asked if she wanted to draw a picture for Uncle Tom. She knows Uncle Tom loves flowers, so she colored him this

I LOVE this picture. I'm not going to lie, it was hard for me to send it away, but it was for Uncle Tom not me. Can't wait to see what she comes up with next!
