Lucky #7

Happy Birthday Leah!

It is hard to believe, it has now been 7 years since our first born joined us. So many changes have taken place in our lives as the years have gone on. Our family is growing again and soon we will welcome another child into our brood. Leah is a remarkable young girl. She makes me proud to be her mother every day. She is compassionate, smart, funny and the joy of my life. Seeing her love for her little brother and her enthusiasm in welcoming another is one of the highlights of my day.

Leah celebrated her birthday at camp and the celebration continued at home with her family.





Leah loves Monster High and their dolls. It may not be for the mainstream family but the dolls suits our family very well.



Leah loves the Diary of a Wimpy Kid book series


And who doesn't love a cute owl?

Lil Bear Factory

Leah received some great birthday gifts. Most of them we can all do together in some way as a family. Today she decided we should do these Lil Luvables. We did all three plushies that came wit the stuffing station and also another bear she got that has a recorder in it. She put the message "I love you" on it and every time you squeeze the bear it says "I love you" and it is Leah's voice.

Matt helped her with most of it and even though he won't admit it right away I think he enjoyed doing this more than Leah did.

Maybe he should go work at Build A Bear :P

Scooting Around

Leilani, Kain & Keith bought Leah a scooter as a gift when they came to visit. Leah loves riding it. One of things I love most about Leah is that she is such a mix of different personalities. She is a skirt wearing, girlie, town-boy...she is a walking contradiction.
