Home Sweet Home

It was an odd numbered birthday for Dale this year so he didn't get a party, but he did get a pretty  tasty cake! Dale you hold such a special place in my heart. You struggle in ways that make me want to strangle you and shower you with all the love that I have at the same time. You have taught me huge lessons on both patience and love. You started Kindergarten just a little while ago are working hard to learn and make friends. You have so much energy and you are so strong! You love wrestling, jumping on the trampoline, gymnastics, big hugs, and sleep. You burn so much energy during the day that you are so ready to go to sleep at night and don't have any trouble getting there. You are actually one of our most obedient kids at night time! You ask me several times a month when I'm going to sign you up for baseball or some other sport. I think we may have found your niche :) We love you so much Dale, you are a riot and so many of our family/ward friends have funny stories a...

Wanted to throw in some pictures of Daisy with one of her favorite cousins: William. We have seen a lot of more of him since we sold our house and moved in with Grandma and Grandpa. It's been fun! These two cause SO much trouble when they are together, but they make great playmates. Grandpa has always been so good at giving attention to his youngest grandkids. I think he has a soft spot for babies and toddlers. Brighton being the fun older cousin and entertaining the little ones with rides around the yard. Surprise surprise, but Dale LOVES babies. It's so sweet to watch him show tenderness toward them. This behavior has shocked me so much because he never showed that to Daisy at all. I love seeing this sweet side of him. He is always asking to hold his baby cousins and whenever they come over he runs downstairs and brings up his favorite big toys for them to "play with."
