Little Worker

 I LOVE how much of a big helper she is!!  We really appreciate and LOVE her so so much!

Koriann is such a big help with anything I ask her to do.  She always wants to just help you .  She always jumps at any task especially if it involves water.

The Big Birthday

We decided to do the birthday at our house just for convenience.  It was so fun having everyone come and celebrate our little honey bee.  She is so loved and so many people care for both of the girls.

 The big girls decided to get the party started early and went about swimming.
Zeke was so nice and added some hot water, the pool felt like a hot tube.  They played for hours in it.

 Koriann eating snacks while swimming.

 LOVE these little girls so much!!  They played so hard and had so much fun.  They had to copy each other with everything they did.

 The Birthday Girl and Grandma Dalton.

 Aspen decided she wanted in on the fun too!!

 Then Zeke decided to set up the new sprinkler toy and they had lots of fun with that and the slip and slide.  Both grandmas went a little overboard and spoiled Aspen like crazy!!

 The Birthday cake.  Aspen LOVES tractors and plays with them all the time.

 Best photo we could get all day of our family.

 Aspen Loved digging into her cake!!

 My brothers cute little family.

 These two are BFF's and are rarely seen apart on weekends.

 Grandpa built some new add-ons to the girls swing set.  It looks so good and the girls have already been playing in the "house"  as Koriann calls it.

 Aspen was SO spoiled!!

 Little Alayna has a serious fear of strange men and cries everytime she looks at one, it was so freaking hilarious!!

 Aspen LOVES her new tractors.

Look at those chicken legs, Koriann seriously has the skinniest legs ever!!

 The girls with Grandad and Grandma Dalton.

Cousins make the best friends!!

Overall we all partied way to hard and had a great time.  It was so fun to be with family for the birthdays of Aspen and Zac.  Then we all were able to have a fantastic Mother's day.  Can't wait till we can all get together again!!  Thanks to everyone who came.

1 Year old!!

Our little honey bee is 1 year old now and it is causing some serious freaking out!!  Aspen is the sweetest little spirit and we couldn't have asked for a greater daughter.  She is the happiest little baby ever!!

The Girls

 LOVE Aspens' little face in this one.

 Koriann seemed so BIG when I was taking these!!

 They have the exact same look on there face, it was making me crack up.

Probably the best picture we got out of them.


The girls were in matching clothes so I took the opportunity to snap a few photos of how cute they are.  I LOVE how out of the many that I took there are only a handful of decent ones.  Koriann was being uncooperative and Aspen was tired and hungry.  But this here is why I refuse to shell out hundreds of dollars for pictures every couple of months!!

S' mores

 She ALWAYS wants her daddy to help her when he is around, I kind of get brushed to the side.

The other evening we just up and decided to build a fire and do S'mores.  Koriann was so excited and knew just what to do.  The only part she didn't like was the heat from the huge fire that Zeke had going at the very first.  Koriann really liked when they would catch on fire and then she didn't want to eat them because they were "GROSS".  I wish Aspen hadn't been asleep and was outside enjoying the evening with us.  I can't wait until we can put in an actual "fire pit".

Koriann's Track Meet

 Getting ready for the trike race.  These are the coolest trikes I have ever seen, I WANT one!!

Our little peddler!!

 Getting ready for the long jump.

 Seriously melts my heart!!

 Her biggest fan!!

Quick family of four pic.


Koriann's school had a little track meet for all the students and it was so freaking cute!!  The high school FCCLA students came and helped out, they all did so well.  Koriann wa so excited to see her daddy and Grandpa there supporting her.  She has been practicing her bike riding, running, long jump and even the hurdles.  I LOVE her school so much and how it brings out all the cute little personality traits in the students.

Aspen's big climb

 Aspen was so proud of herself!!

Aspen is such a climber and it gives us all a heart attacks.  Her newest thing is to climb Koriann's bed and then proceed to jump on it.  As scary as it is both the girls have so much fun doing it together and Koriann is really good to watch after her sister.
