Juls Birthday with Ella

Julianna celebrates her 7th Birthday.

Julianna and her friend Ella wanted to have a combined birthday party this year. It worked out great because they both wanted to invite the same group of people. There were a total of 28 kids including siblings and one cousin.

Can you just imagine the noise level? Luckily we had it at one of the local parks and all seemed to have lots of fun running around playing games and eating pizza & cake.

It was work trying to get them smiling and looking in the same direction at the same time.

Big Sister Alisz!!!

That's right. Alisz is going to be a big sister in the Fall. I am just about 14 weeks along and so far doing pretty well. Had a bit of morning sickness, nasuea and metal tastes, but that all seems to be lessening as the days go by. The biggest symptom is how tired I am ALL the TIME.

Pirate Brithday Party

Happy Birthday Kasia! We can't believe she's turning 5 this year. She has been planning this pirate party for months now. She has the disposition for a great pirate!


Uncle Kurt made a surprise visit down. We wish he was able to stay longer.

Cousin Rien and Kasia

All of her pirate friends. It was so cute seeing all the kids dressed up.


She loved her treasure chest cake that daddy made for her.
