Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to my Sweets!

My baby cakes is one year old...I truly can not believe it!

This year has been the fastest year of my life.  

Juliana brings such joy to all of us.

  All of our children bring us joy, but those sweet blue eyes and kisses melt us all.

  She is full of spunk, yet is so lovey.  She loves to climb things and is very adventurous.  She loves to sing and dance.  

We all love you sweet girl.

Sweet, sweet baby...you hold such a special place in my heart.

I love you.

 11 months.

She is walking, no running everywhere.

She loves to climb everything!  She also loves to kiss everyone, play peek-a-boo, babble constantly  and cuddle.

She is so sweet and spunky.

We all love you sweet Juliana.

 When it's rainy and cold, how to we get our wiggles out?

Some beach pictures...

 We did have one nice day at the beach.  Joseph loved his kite, the water, and all the toys.

Matthew braved the water.  I think he did it to prove how he can be strong and manly.   I bit my tongue as I was so scared of him getting too cold and then sick, but I let him spread his wings and go for it.

Juliana wasn't feeling well that day, but I think the sun and fresh air was good for her.

It felt so good to be outside in the sunshine and warm air.

Crazy boy!

 Joey had such a ball!  I can't wait until summertime when we can head back to the beach!

Joseph asked for a kite for Christmas and this was first time he was able to use it.  It is a beautiful kite and he had such a great time flying it and watching it catch the wind.

My sweets needed a kiss.

How I love those chubby cheeks!

I can't take it.

On our little beach trip, Lana and Mom hosted a movie night for the children while Darryl and I had a date night.  We enjoyed a lovely time stuffing ourselves with crab, shrimp and oysters at the restaurant down the street.  The kids had fun as well watching movies and filling their tummies with junk food.
