Itty Bitty Basketball

Benjamin did this last year and so, when we told him, he would be doing it again this year, he was so excited! He absolutely could not wait he was counting the days since Thanksgiving! I didn't get as many pictures this year because most days I was upstairs walking the track with the girls. Abby's best friend Samantha (who is 3 allready) was able to participate, but because Abby is not quite 3 yet, she could not and so I stayed upstairs most days to distract her. But Benjamin had a blast!

Practing shooting

Playing against other kids

This day (because I was there taking pictures) Abby wanted to play so badly, that Benji's coach was nice enough to let her play.

Benji making a "long shot"

Below is video of Benjamin. Allthough he did not make his shot, I wanted to show how he fakes and spins and really tries to play like he sees his Daddy play. It's funny. And then there is video of him shooting and he can make shots, really.

Happy Birthday Lindy!

Here she is. My sweet little niece Lindy. To Benjamin she is another little sister. To Abby she is her "Best Friend" as Abby calls her. Abby and her just adore each other and now that Lindy is getting older they are really learning to get along quite well. I just love this little girl.

With her Daddy. Allan did an awesome job at throwing her a Princess Party (of all things). He even wore his Pink shirt for the occasion. It was a lot of fun. It ended up being a big family party with all the cousins!

Allan did it at his singles ward building. And is was really fun, the kids got to run around and the adults and big kids got to play air hockey, fuze ball, and pool.

Three little Princesses! Abby, Lindy, & Ruby

5 little Princesses and one little Prince

And this is a super fun picture. I don't remember the last time we had ALL the grand kids in one room! So we had to take a picture! These are my Mom and Step-dad Gary's combined grandchildren What a fun picture!

Pinata time!

The two big boys finally cracked it open

Lindy loved opening presents and she loved the Princess Tea set we gave her.

Singing Happy Birthday. My mom did a great job making the Princess castle cake.
Happy 2nd Birthday Lindy, we love you!

Baby Blessing

What a great way to start the new year! Today Isaac blessed our sweet baby Isabel. It was a beautiful blessing and afterward we had close friends and family over for lunch. And I was so busy being the hostess that I forgot to take pictures of the family. But Kate & Julio came and we did do a photo shoot of the baby in her blessing dress.  Enjoy!
