Zoe, 5 months

Loves TALKING! Also loves her new skill of rolling over and somehow moving all over a room. Can get to her pacifier and toys herself too. Doesn't really like naps, but sleeps fairly well at night. Is drooling all the time, but seems pretty early for teeth.

Its going tooooooo fast!!! Almost a half a year already?! 

Torsten turns 2!

Two is looking pretty good....

Lots of exciting presents from loved ones near and far!!

He was pretty excited it was his "Happy Day!"

and for cake!

Angelfood with mangos, strawberries and whip cream!

To our dear boy Torsten, cannot believe how much you've grown and learned in your 2nd year and how well you've taken to having 3 sisters! You definitely give us entertainment with your personality and mischief and we wouldn't have it any other way (most days!:) Happy Birthday T!

I realize I hardly ever post video and I really need to do it more because we've got some good ones lately! 

So here is Torsten really mastering the glider bike. He just cruises on this thing and has also taken to going off road as well. He'll be out on the trails with Josh sooner than we know!

Zoe, growing up too fast!

Go, Gretta, Go!

Enjoy!

Easter, Gretta turns 7 and other random events

She's kind of like a little hummingbird with her arms and moving around lately!

Sneakily trying to roll over.....

About as close to having his own puppy as he's gonna get....thanks Old Navy.

Our first baby turned 7!

We went to Maria Maria and after supper ordered the birthday dessert. She enjoyed it once the attention of the sparkling candle was off her. 

Since her birthday fell on Easter we took her and Maggie to Cinderella and the whole family out for dinner the night before!

Then we decorated Easter eggs!

Grandma Peggy was here to celebrate too!

His formal wear and digger from Grandma Peggy!

Egg HUNT!

The girls were great at helping and sharing with Torsten!

Zoe's First Easter

Then it was time to open some birthday presents, books!

A new long skirt!

More books and some cute shirts and pants.

She wanted to decorate her own cherry cake with cherry frosting.

Thinking she was sneaky licking the frosting

To our dear Gretta.....7 years?!! You have grown up so much and become such a young lady. We love listening to you read and watch you continue with your love of art. Sometimes you test how old you are and sometimes you're still our little girl. You're a great big sister, daughter and helper to everyone. We love you so much!!
