Happy Birthday 5th Ellie Tye

Our sweet Ellie is 5!

Check out those AWESOME boots from Aunt CHO; )


We have had a blast in Utah and the HIGHLIGHT was a CHUCK E. CHEESE Birthday party for our Ellie-phant! She was thrilled, her cousins and friends came to celebrate! Thanks for your support!

Swimming!

My girls love the water and so does our little Jack! They were all thrilled to be in the water again!

We love Utah!!!

Utah was beautiful! It was 50 degrees outside and the girls built Aunt Cho's first snowman at their house! Her neighbors even called to comment on the snowman! (No other yards had one, I guess when you get this much snow, building a snowman gets old!) We had so much FUN!

Merry Christmas 2008!

Ellie Tye- (almost) 5
An older soul. She is loving and funny, smart and kind! She loves to read and learn, help others clean and cook, and dance to all kinds of music.

Chloe Lynn – 6 ½ years old
Amazingly beautiful, inside and out. She is kind and sensitive, fast and FUN! Chloe loves school, the people around her, and to do cartwheels!

My girls inspire me everyday with their resilience, love and understanding. We are so blessed to have you all in our lives. We hope you have a wonderful holiday!
Love- Leah, Chloe and Ellie

Thanks Maya

We received a letter in the mail from Maya Alvarez, asking us to send her kindergarten class a picture or postcard about New Mexico. The girls had a good time looking for a Shiprock postcard and then we sent this picture with Felix (Maya's rabbit that she colored) and our flag. There are some great teachers out there, doing fun things, that are outside of the box. Thanks for including us!
