Turning 4 and other Big News :D

Elia is now 4 years old! We had an "Ariel" themed birthday party for her 2 Saturdays ago and she's still thanking me for her "pool and cake party" :D I'm grateful for a thankful child! Here's some photos of the beautiful sunny day that was just the "icing on the cake" after having a gloomy weather week...


Thank you Aunty Lauren for the new pool!

Elia had lost of fun in it with her cousins Ian & Jesse and buddy Santiago!


The cake :D


The special "under the sea" treats mommy made...
can you see the big fishy inside?


Fishing fun with cousin Tyson

The other big news is that Sam took his Nuke test yesterday and passed with flying colors!! We are so excited and happy! His recruiter even called to say that it was one of the best scores they've had at MEPS! By the end of this week we will get the official word on the waiver acceptance, but everything is looking good.... YEE-HAW! We are so thankful for this awesome blessing!

It was so much fun at the party. Rachel and Ammon had a blast. We are excited that you guys are getting closer to that big step with the Navy but will definitely miss you guys and the girls tremendously. Love you all!!!
