Natalie's birthday

Natalie just turned 3 this month and really started to understand that a birthday means presents. She is really into dress up and the Disney princesses so she got a Belle and a Cinderella dress. It was a good thing that we waited to have her party till later in the evening because it was close to Kate's bedtime. Kate wanted to play with all of the new toys and be the center of attention too. We had a good time and Meme and Papa came by to help celebrate.

Helping mom and dad

The girls are always more then willing to help dad play his computer games and help mom cook in the kitchen. I always think that after they get their pj's on that they will calm down and maybe I can get on the computer, then they look at me with those faces and who can say no to that.

True sisters

Katelyn and Natalie are becoming true sisters. One minute they are playing and the next minute they are fighting. Also as you will see in this video Natalie is getting better at taking pictures. For the first couple of years Natalie would just stare into the camera and do everything but smile. Now when I get the camera out she says "say cheese and say smile."

Time with cousins

Natalie and Katelyn love when they get to visit with Kendalyn. We have had a few trips this year with Kendalyn coming to Oregon and us taking a trip to St. George. They look foward to spending time with Mia and Sadie. Also I will get better at taking picture when they get together with the Martin cousins.

Katelyn's birthday

In June Katelyn turned one and loved her party. As you can tell she enjoyed her cake although I don't know how much actually made it into her mouth. Natalie helped her sister open her present and tried to state claim on the toys.

What a sense of style

Do my kids have a sense of style or what. They love to wear sunglasses whenever possible.
