Happy Birthday Lauren! 5!

Lauren turns 5! She had a birthday party with all her friends and they wore their Halloween costumes. Lauren was a bride. :)I can't believe this little girl is 5! As Lauren opened one of her presents this morning she looked up and said, "I didn't see that coming!" She always comes up with funny little phrases like that. I don't know where she gets them. :)
Lauren and Camryn, first thing in the morning. She woke up early to open her presents!
As you can tell by the pictures, cute Lauren is so full of personality. There is never a dull moment with her in the family. We love you Lauren!

Halloween 2009

The pumpkin, the bride, and the cheerleader! The kids had so much fun dressing up going trick or treating around the neighborhood. Johnny thought it was the best thing that ever happened to him, when he figured out what was going on! :) People just hand you candy!
He ate candy all along the way :)
This is on our front porch just before leaving to trick or treat.
This is Lauren and her friend Kate and their pre-school Halloween celebration.

We're Back! :) Meet Samantha Marie Stone!

This picture was taken a couple of weeks ago in North Carolina. She is 7 months.

These pictures were taken right before she turned 2 weeks old. I can't believe how fast the time has gone!

Wow, Where do you start when you haven't posted for a whole year? :) I thought since we got a new computer maybe I could start blogging again. The old one was so slow I felt like I was wasting my life away trying to do anything. The first thing I need to blog about is Samantha Marie Stone! Born January 28, 2010. She is so cute. We all love her to pieces. Even though she's seven months old, the older kids still fight over who gets to hold her first and they all fight for her attention. I thought the excitement of a baby might wear off, but it hasn't at all. Probably because she just keeps getting cuter and cuter. She is so sweet and such a good baby! I'll try to catch up a little from the past year soon....:)
