Day One of Red River Ski Trip 2010

We just got back from our Red River Ski trip and had a blast!! Landyn took ski school for the first time and we could not have been more proud! She did really well and loved it!! And of course, she was the cutest one out there! :o) I have a ton of pictures, and will try to narrow it down to only a few. So here are the ones from the first day. More to come though!!

All ready to leave the cabin for the slopes.

She was so excited and ready to go!!

Valentine's Lunch at School

Landyn's school had a special Valentine's Lunch for the kids and their daddy's. I volunteered to help decorate and work at the lunch so I was able to be there as well. Mom watched Brooks for me and brought him up to see sissie at school. It was such a neat event!! We love St. Francis!!!

It's Fair Time!!

I look forward to the livestock show every year!!!! Despite the nasty weather, I took Landyn and Brooks out to see the animals on Tuesday. It won't be too long and Landyn will be showing her own animals out there!! Can't wait!!

Cute Sibling Pics!!

Princess Tea Party

For Landyn's 4th birthday, we hosted a Princess Tea Party! All of her friends came over dressed in their "princess attire" and looked absolutely precious! We had so much fun!! The house was decorated in hot pink and purple, Landyn's favorite colors. Landyn loved it!!! Poor little Brooks had a cold, so he wasn't in the best of moods. But all in all, it couldn't have gone any better!!

Sick little Brooks. Poor guy.

Me pouring the pink lemonade out of the silver tea pot to all the little girls at the table. Notice the hot pink decoration on the doorway in the background.

A WOW cake!! :o)

The girls had heart shaped sandwiches, fruit, cheese, and pink lemonade.

The table set up and ready for the guests to arrive. I am so thankful to have such a wonderful mom who helped me get all of this together! I could not have done it without her!!!

My Sweet Girl is 4!!

On January 28th, Landyn Reese turned four years old! The last four years have been the most rewarding years of my life! We are so incredibly blessed to have such an amazing and beautiful daughter in our lives. She is smart, funny, loving, honest, and I could go on and on and on. Patrick decorated her door with ribbon and balloons so it would be festive when she woke up on her birthday morning. She was so surprised. I was impressed, Patrick thought of that and did it all by himself! Then me, mom, and Brooks went to school with her to watch her special birthday chapel and birthday snack time. The picture of the cookie is what she brought for her classmates for snack time. The girls had hot pink cupcake cookies and the boys had the blue cupcake cookies. My aunt Faricha made the cookies for her..................she is SO talented! I will post pictures from Landyn's big Princess Tea Party soon!!!
