| Whitney's cake. |
 |
| Our little Whitney turned 6 this year! Crazy! We had just moved to WA, so she didn't really have a lot of friends yet, so we had a simple party with family but it was wonderful. |
 |
| Our little angel is growing up way too fast! |
 |
| Opening a present. |
 |
| Sorry this is blurry, but it is the best shot that we have. Here is Brenton's first birthday cake! |
 |
| Yummy! |
 |
| Wait, I want more! |
 |
| He ended up a complete mess! What fun! It is hard to believe that he is already a year old. Time flies! |
 |
| For the ceremony, the kids sang a few cute songs, and Whitney was adorable and had been practicing the songs at home for a month in advance. "Start spreading the news, we're leavin' today, we want to be a part of it.....1st grade, 1st grade" set to the tune for New York, New York. |
 |
| Whitney with her teachers, Mrs. Garrett and Mrs. Miller. She was able to have fantastic teachers, and she loved them! |
 |
| Next stop, 1st grade.... |
 |
| Caitlin opening a present. |
 |
| Anything Dora, and Caitlin gets giddy. |
 |
| I can't believe that she is already three! Where does the time go! She is so wonderful and I feel so blessed to have such sweet and loving children, and a little spunky, too! |
 |
| Whitney's school had spirit week, and for one of the days it was "Weird Hair Day." We decided to do a Dr. Seuss style hair-do with a bottle in her hair. It was fun and Whitney giggled and giggled about it! |
 |
| From the front. What a sweetie. |
 |
| From the side you can really appreciate just how "silly" her hair looked! |
 |
| Oh! How I love that little face! |
 |
| I was trying to encourage Brenton to scoot and start crawling to get his toy, and he loved the game! |
 |
| His little smile was so cute: he could tell exactly what I was trying to have him do. What a smart boy! |
 |
| Grandma in Texas gave Brenton a cute onesie when he was born, and we thought we better get some pictures of him in it before it didn't fit anymore. Thanks so much, Grandma, we love you. |
 |
| Brenton loves to giggle with his mouth open. |
 |
| We were excited to have Grandma Lauder stop by to visit after Brenton was born. Whenever Caitlin sees her, she is very attached and loves to sit right by her. |
 |
| How wonderful that they have a chance to know their great-great-grandmother! |
 |
| Brenton was ready to start having solid foods, so he had his first taste of carrots! |
 |
| Hmmm.....that isn't too bad! |
 |
| Yum! More, Mommy. |
 |
| We call this the little birdie waiting for the next bite. |
