Updates through Pictures

On Saturday, February 5th we celebrated Justin's mom's birthday (actual birthday is February 8th).  We met in Galesburg at the Packing House and had dinner with his family.  We love getting together with our families!  Justin's cousin made this awesome cake.  It not only looked great, but with the hazelnut cream filling it was delicious too!

Along the bottom of the cake, there was red, blue, and white edible poker chips.  Of course as soon as the first person ate a blue one, Brady, Sydney, and Maddie thought they needed to have one too!  Blake does not like to get dirty at all (he knows how to make his momma happy!) and he was only interested in eating the white ones! 

Right before leaving, Sydney opened her birthday gifts too.  Her birthday is February 10th.  Madison made her a scrapbook of fun pictures.  She sure loves her cousins!

On Sunday, February 13th, we celebrated my girlfriend's birthday!  She turned 11 on the 16th.  I can hardly believe she is that old!  She wasn't much for posing for pictures that day.... 

At Alexis' party, Brady was busy working his salesman skills.  He was taking orders for the B and T Wood Works business.  He better get busy filling orders!   

And I can't help but to share pictures of my precious niece - our lil princess Dani is adorable! 

And we got a great surprise from my grandma.  She makes a blanket for every grandchild.  She finished the one for our Little Guy and gave it to us on Sunday.  So sweet and so special!

And what good is a family blog, without documenting some of our more fun moments!  Here is Miss Madison after being woke up from the drive home on Sunday.  She was not feeling well and was not in a good mood.  And she was NOT interested in us speaking to her at that time!

And sticking with the hair theme, we just cannot decide on a hair cut that suites Blake well.  Right now his hair is growing out.  Many nights he will still rock himself back and forth in the middle of the night while his head is buried in his pillow.  When that happens this is the site we wake up to the next morning!  

And check out those muscles!  He was so proud of his basketball tattoo.  He thought we needed a picture!
