Life// Eli's Birthday

 As you may have noticed, Eli is quite crazy. I can't seem to capture a moment where he is at all serious. I guess that just might be because he never really is....

  He turned six on the 20th, where does the time go?

 He couldn't choose whether he wanted to eat cake first or open presents first, so he did both.

 Amazing Batman attire, made by Layla.

 Horse wood-burning, made by Gabe.

 The birthday cake was scrumptious, a soft chocolate cake topped with whipped coconut cream.

It was quite a day!
Eli is always the one to make us laugh when we are down and always looks on the bright side.  I am so thankful to have him as my brother!
Love,
Hagen

The Birthday Cowboy

This past weekend our sweet little brother, Eli, turned 4! 

 He was the roughest, toughest 4 year old in the West. All the outlaws shook in their boots at the mention of his name. They feared the wooden steed he rode. They feared his right-hand man, Jack. Those sissies ran in fear when they saw that bright orange hunter's cap coming their way. 

Eli on his wooden horse Dad made, sporting his legendary hunter's cap, made by Layla.

Jack, his right- hand man, made by Hagen.

Another wooden masterpiece, made by none other than Dad.

A little video of Eli blowing out his candles. You can hear how musically talented we are (wink wink).

We had quite the celebration. Eli really enjoyed it! After all the singing, presents and cake, we were all tuckered out. 

We love you, Eli, and know that you will be a loving and protecting Father and Husband some day!
 Blessings, 
Layla & Hagen 
  

The Birthday Princess

This weekend, our little sister Matilda, turned 7. We celebrated with a very girly birthday tea party!

 She was so excited to lick the beater's. That's the best part, isn't it?

Cake and Cookies!
(I promise the recipe is coming soon!)

Best Friends and Sisters!

We are so blessed to have you as our little sister! You are so girly, yet you can stand up for yourself! You inspire us daily to be better sisters. We love you!

Hope you are having a wonderful beginning of the week! Blessings,
Layla & Hagen 
 

A Time Of Preparation

With the coming of Christmas, comes the time to prepare our hearts for the celebration of the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ. If we sit back and think about it, it really is a miracle! 

Just think.... the Lord, who created the entire universe and every cell in your body, sent his only Son for you! It's really quite amazing... 

God IS Love! 

God gave us the greatest gift the world will ever know! But, what could we ever give Him for Christmas? Our hearts and our lives, to surrender all we have, to bring glory to HIM!

 May we be shining lights in a dark world, and lead the lost to the Shepherd.

Here is a cute little video my Aunt T showed us...
We will post lots of Christmas pictures soon!
Enjoy your time with family and friends!
Blessings and Merry Christmas!
Layla   
 

Baby O is One!

Our sweet baby sister, Olivia Jane turned One this week! She is such a sweet and smart little girl. I can't believe she's already one, but at the same time I can't believe she is only one!

She really enjoyed her Gluten Free Brownie Cupcakes (which are the bomb!) You can see the sugar setting in! Of course I made her a set of matching shoes and hat! She did a little modeling for me!

Hagen made her an adorable onesie dress! I think she should sell them in the shop.

Of course she got presents from Mom and Dad, but we didn't get pictures. Here's one of Olivia enjoying her Birthday card from her Grandparents!

Isn't she adorable?!

Olivia, you are such a blessing to our family and I couldn't imagine our lives with you! Children are a Blessing from The Lord! -Layla

Dad's Birthday!

Today was Dads Birthday! I'm so blessed to have a dad like him. He works hard for us, provides for us, but most of all he love Jesus!!! He  turned 38, I think he is still young, though he says he's getting old! :) 

Dad Enjoying The Cowboy Book Matilda Wrote and Illustrated 

Kind of Blurry, but that is a Jar of Honey Taffy I made.
