Making Memories

Fun times in the snow. Ok, so Rebekah, Kaden, & I were only outside for a short amount of time, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to get them dressed in their adorable Minnie and Tigger snow outfits! Jake and Josh were of course willing to cooperate for the picture. It was kind of difficult to actually get a picture because our dog wanted to jump up on the kids (including the babies), however we managed to get the dog distracted long enough to snap a few pictures.

Happy Birthday to our big 5 year olds, Josh & Jake! This was their first cousin/friend party. It was so much fun to see all these little 4 ,5, & 6 year olds in action. It never ceases to amaze me exactly how much energy children have. The party was a success!

Josh & Jake cheesing for the camera along with Batman. For their friend party we played pin the Batman symbol on Batman. The game was a hit with the kids. As you can see some of them actually came close to the mark!

Jacob, Batman, Aunt Emilee, & Joshua smiling hard for the camera (Ok, so maybe Josh isn't really smiling, but it's the best picture I got). Aunt Emilee was kind enough to make the cool Batman cake for their 5th birthday. Thanks Em! Needless to say, the boys loved the cake.

Grandma and Grandpa Cox gave the children matching outfits for Christmas so of course I couldn't pass up the opportunity to snap a shot. Jacob, Joshua, Rebekah, & Kaden, our four beautiful miracles!

Blessing Day - February 7th, 2010. These cakes were made by my sisters friend for Rebekah and Kaden's big day. I thought they turned out so cute!

Ben, Roy Ellefsen, and Kaden Roy Cox (Yes, Kaden is named after this great teacher that both Ben and I admire. He's also named after his great great grandfather.)

Four generation picture. Great Grandma Verla Smith, Me, Grandma Brenda Aagard, Rebekah, & Kaden.

I cannot believe how quickly the time passes! Ben & I celebrated our 9 year anniversary earlier this month, Josh and Jake are already 5, and our babies are now nearly 3 months old. Life doesn't slow down for anyone I suppose, but truly I am grateful for each and every day that I have to spend with our adorable children and my wonderful husband. Life couldn't be better for our family.
