Amberlie Eden

She's getting so big.  Too big.  She's not even past her third month and already her 3 month pj's are getting too small.  She holds her head up so strong that I even put her in the baby bouncer for the first time today.  She did great for at least fifteen minutes before her poor little head started to droop forward and I had to take her out to rest.  She loved it though.  Berlyn loved swinging the bouncer like a pendulum in the doorway.  This baby is so happy and content; there is almost always a smile on her face.  She loves her sisters getting in her face and lugging her around the house.  She loves watching any of her toys that hang from her car seat handle or her bouncy chair.  And I love, love, love her sweet, chubby cheeks. 

These crazy kids

My brother and Logan came for a visit!!!  This was a wonderful surprise, since we don't get to see them very often.  The girls were thrilled to visit their cousin, and it always warms my heart to have them spend quality time with my only sibling.  Here are some treasured moments during our time together...

 Nick was holding Amberlie, when all of a sudden....

Our beautiful Berlyn is FOUR years old!  She has added so much excitement to our lives with her adventurous spirit and driven nature.  She runs wild, catches snakes and spiders, all while dressed in her princess attire.  She is my dare devil and my sweetie pie all rolled into one and I love her in every way possible. 
She requested a party with a animals, and Berlyn's Barnyard was such a blast!!!  It took a lot of help from friends and family, but the hard work was well worth the effort when we saw the smile on Berlyn's face while she ran around with all of her friends.  The highlight of the party was when Aunt Rebekah surprised everyone with rides on her horse, Image!  If the kids remember anything, it will definitely be the horse rides.  That, or the moment the bunny got loose and the kids had to surround a

Rachel won.  But since I had the #2 bag, I guess it was to be expected.

This was just moments before the bunny escaped her grasp and ran under the horse trailer.

Roman was totally happy just hanging out on the rock pile.

When I asked Judah if I could snap his picture, I had no idea he was going to break out this pose.  So perfect.

It was the end of the party... and the adults needed some quiet time.

Dallass looked so adorable walking around with that huge teddy bear, half his size.
