Princess Birthday Party

She was so excited! All the Fairy Godmother's have their tiara's on!

Even King Daddy joined in the fun!

Prince Lance! :)

Happy 4th Birthday, Grace!

Grace had a Princess birthday party (of course) and everyone had to dress like a princess! She was in her glory and LOVED being a princess: AKA Sleeping Beauty. Nana and Great Grandma were able to join us (AKA Fairy Godmothers), and we even had a few Princes there!
All ready for the party and waiting for friends to arrive.


She had a princess castle birthday cake.

April 2008

We had a very busy early April, but now we've been slowing down quite a bit. My good friend, Lonna, here in Ohio had her 3rd baby - Reid Thomas Bohlsen! We had Tatum and Wade for the day and they ended up spending the night. The kids had a GREAT time together and did really well.
The girls enjoyed their bath in our big tub.


Lance is doing really well with his food. He's doing Cheerios (which makes daddy really proud), biter biscuits, and a sippy cup. He eats fruits, vegetables, meat, and cereal - just about anything you give him he'll eat! He has 5 teeth now and he's a really happy baby.

My mom and grandma (my dad's mom) came to visit for Grace's 4th birthday. Grace had a great time with them - more attention!, and they loved seeing how Lance has changed. Grace is doing some paint by number with Nana.

I love you especially when you feed me! :)

Mariah and Sarah's visit

My friends from high school, Mariah and Sarah, came to visit me the end of March. We had a great time hanging out, catching up, and doing some shopping. Good times! It was a fun girlfriend break.

Easter #1

Easter was at our house this year with the Malin side. We had a great time with everyone. We got some pictures with all the aunts, uncles, and grandpa and grandma.

Celebration!

We celebrated Grace's birthday early at Easter time so grandpa and grandma Malin and all the aunts and uncles could help her celebrate. We also celebrated Grandpa and Aunt Lis's birthday, too!

Kisses for Lance

Easter egg hunting

Grace woke up early to hunt for Easter eggs. She was so excited! She went to wake Lance up right away and show him his Easter basket. He, of course, thought that was great! :)

Hunting for eggs - with Lance's basket AND her basket.

Sorting out the real eggs and the candy eggs

So happy together!

Dying Easter eggs

Josh's family came to our house for Easter. We had a great time with everyone and really enjoyed having them all here. Grace always loves getting all the attention from all the grandparents, aunts, and uncles. She did a great job dying eggs this year and was very particular about the colors.

Lance enjoyed watching Grace dye the eggs.

J.A.W.L. Easter party

We had an Easter party and the kids had a great time! The best part was the "Easter egg hunt" with all the eggs in the middle of the floor! The kids went crazy. It was pretty funny.

They're dancing up a storm.

They enjoyed seeing the Easter bunny

making sugar cookies!

Bathtime March 2008

So it's been since Feb. since I've been on our blog!! So sorry about that! :) We were literally either gone or had company from the end of February through Grace's birthday - April 13th! We loved seeing so many friends and family the last couple of months, but I got way behind on all my pictures! I will be trying to catch up the next few days. These are some bath pictures from March. Lance LOVES being in the big tub now wtih Grace. He just splashes the WHOLE time and laughs. It's great!

Grace loves to feed Lance. He always has to hold your hand or rub your arm when you feed him. It's really cute.

Little Bear!
