Karlee hits the double digits

Its so hard to believe that my little girl is 10 years old! She is such a sweet girl and we are so blessed to have her in our family. She decided since she was hitting the big "Double Digits" she wanted to have a movie party. She had friends and a donut cake, it was easy and fun! She also had her piano recital this month. She played The Chipmunk song by Ron Bagdasarian. She is growing up too fast if you ask me. But we sure Love her! Happy Birthday sweetie!

Happy Birthday Mason #3

Mason said he wanted a Thomas cake. I made this. He said, "Thats Percy not Thomas!"

So then I made this one and he was a lot happier :)

I was trying to teach Mason to say I am 3, before his birthday. He said, "I don't want to be 3, I want to be 2 and your baby boy." He melts my heart!

My Amazing husband took these photos of us in October but since I was giving them to the Grandparents with their Christmas gifts I couldn't post them until now. My family means the world to me. I feel so blessed to be their mother. I love my husband, he is truly my best friend. I am so blessed to call them mine. Plus I think they are all super cute!

Happy Birthday Karlee

My little Christmas miracle

When I was pregnant with Karlee we had gone through a ton to get her here. I thought I had a miscarriage and went to the hospital. I was a wreck! I can still remember so clearing the ultrasound person putting their hand on my knee and saying listen! It was Karlee's hearbeat. I could see it and hear it. She was ok! Matt and his dad gave me a blessing, in that blessing I was promised that Karlee would make it to full term and be healthy. There were a few other scary times and I always held on strong to that promise that I was told she would be born healthy to me. She was born Dec 3,2003 9lbs 10oz and 22in long. She had a ton of hair and she was the best baby. She was so happy and really a Mamas girl. When she was 1 day old she smiled. She was one of the greatest gifts I had ever been given. She has the kindest heart she seeks out those who need a friend. She is not shy at all. She loves to preform in front of people. I am so proud to be her Mom. Happy Birthday Karlee girl!

Karlee and I go to California together

all the cuties

Karlee had a great opportunity to represent Persnickety and do an editorial shoot with Model Life Magazine. Luckily Grandma Bro was available to watch the other kids so Karlee and I could fly down for the weekend to California. We had the best time together. We laughed in the car, we sang, we just got to hang out. It was one of my most cherished times with her. She didn't have to be the big sister and we just really enjoyed each others company. She is a really fun girl! One night my eye was twitching pretty bad and I told her and she said to me, maybe you have tourettes. I didn't even know she knew that word, and she was dead serious. We laughed so hard. It was a great opportunity for her, we met some new friends and we had a wonderful girls weekend together!
