BIG 4

This weekend my little niece had her 4th birthday party. We had the party at a park in my sister's neighborhood. Marissa wanted to have a butterfly party, so my talented sister Melanie made all the decorations and the cake look like butterflies. Everything was super cute!  Marissa is such a special little girl. She brings such joy to my life and all those who are blessed to know her. 

Owen and I are getting to be good buddies - he has such a cute little personality and I just can't help but kiss those little cheeks every chance I get!

Going down the slide by himself - Owen is getting so big and not to mention-fearless.

I can be a princess too. Marissa was nice enough to share her crown with me for a minute.

Gregg and I bought Marissa a new Barbie movie "Mermadia". She loves her Barbie movies.

Gregg's Adventures

Gregg has been a busy guy lately. He's been getting to know the outdoors every chance he can get. Two weekends ago he went snow camping with his buddy Jeff and his scout troop. This was the first snow camping trip he actually did on purpose. If you remember our backpacking trip last year-the snow was a surprise(at least it was to me). He had a blast and was so proud that all his gear worked like it was suppose to. This last weekend Gregg went hiking at Fish Creek with my dad and his scouts. They went on a day hike down the creek, climbing over boulders and playing splash wars with the boys. Gregg loves any chance he gets to use all the sweet gear he's picked up over the last 2 years we've been married. He's totally geeked out on REI, but that's just another reason I love him so much :)
