Rhen's 8th Birthday Party...

Chuck E. Cheese style...

Silly Dayna girl and Silly Uncle Robbie:)

Rhenley got some really great gifts...

(uncle Kory taught Rhen to play Battleship a few years ago, she's been begging for it ever since:)

Justin Bieber book from our friends Andrew & Mary

Super cute dress from Kory & Abby

-Rhen wanted an Angry Birds birthday party, Grandma Nea got her the pig, and her sisters got her a fun game!

Special "R" necklace from Grandpa Ray & Grandma Jiggy

Uncle Jake made her AWESOME cake... so FUN!

Thanks for coming everyone... Always a blast with our family and friends!

Rainbow pudding, & treats under the plate...

For Rhen's birthday dinner my sisters and I made some rainbow pudding, it was quite the adventure, but always a party with the girls...

Kyra couldn't get enough of the pudding... and Leslie enjoyed the whip topping a little too much, lol)

It's been a tradition in our family since I was little, to put a treat under the plates before the birthday dinner... we're carrying on the tradition, my girls love it!:)

(I chose these Snack Wells cookies, because they had a green wrapper, but man, they were YUMMY!)

It's Great to be Eight...

Rhenley's 8th birthday fell on a Saturday, it was extra special because Rhenley was able to be baptized on her birthday, and extra-extra special to share her baptism with Lucas' cousin's daughter, Lydia!

We had so much family and friends come to support Rhenley & Lydia, it was such a special day! (I love this picture, here's everyone trying to fit into the tiny baptismal font room... LOL)

Here are some fun pictures of some of our family and friends who were at the baptism... (Rhenley was pictured out by the time I was done with her:) )

Luke's mom, Grandma Jiggy, made Rhenley's dress (in less then a week:)) It was gorgeous, so special for Rhenley!

Congratulations Rhenley, we love you, and are so proud of the decision you made to be baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, you are such a special daughter of our Heavenly Father, he loves you, and so do we:) Just a side note, later that day we gave Rhenley her new set of scriptures, she was so excited to have her own special scriptures (she has read every day since... and is starting in Genesis of all places...:) so proud of this girl, she makes me want to do better, to be better! She says to us the other day, "I like reading the scriptures, they're long, so it takes a while, and I always have something to read about..."

St. Patrick's Day Treasure Hunt...

St. Patrick's Day is special around our house, it's Miss Rhenley's birthday! This year it was extra special because Rhenley turned 8... I found this super cute treasure hunt idea on Pinterest, it was a fun way to start the day... the girls did really well finding all the clues, next year I'm going to make it harder:)

(There were 10 clues in all, these were a few of my favorite spots)

Rhenley took some pretty cute treats to school on Friday (also found on Pinterest)... love how they turned out!

Jodee's tooth...

Jodee lost her first tooth around St. Patrick's Day, she was so excited, and couldn't wait to put it under her pillow so she could get money from the tooth fairy! (She asked me to pull it, she wasn't scared at all:)) The Tooth Fairy was on the ball that night (usually it's 3-5 nights later that she comes:), lol) Jodee is $1 richer, and can't wait to lose her next tooth!

The Stevens family party...

At the end of January we had a family party for all the Stevens family birthdays in January/February... there are quite a few, so we have one big party for everyone, it's a good time!:) (Elliott, Jodee, Jayda, Kory, Grandpa Ray, & Erikka's birthdays were celebrated:)
Cute decorations by Auntie Abby
Yummy potluck food...

Fun games for the kiddos by me:)
-Pin the mustache on Grandpa Ray
-A really fun version of Limbo, just for kids... I got it at The Goodwill for $3 (steal of the century:)lol


Here are just a few fun picts from the party...

Jodee, Jayda, & Justin Bieber

Jodee & Jayda turned 5 years old in January, they requested a Justin Bieber birthday party (thanks to their cousins Kendall & Peyton and the movie, "Never Say Never":) None of my girls even knew who Justin was until Christmas time, it's been funny to watch them giggle and laugh when they talk about Justin, his "cute" voice, and his fabulous hair. (Takes me back to the days of Joe McIntyre and The New Kids on the Block... I'm proud to say I had bedding, posters, buttons, cassette tapes, and magazines, lol, good times)
Waking up to decorations in their doorway...
#5 pancakes:)

Partying with my family... Justin Bieber was everywhere:) Thanks Jake & Kyra for the iPod cake, Justin Bieber poster, and play guitar, so much fun for the girls!
-Singing toothbrushes from Grandma Nea & Grandpa Bob, so fun (the song plays for 2mins, they brush until the song stops... I love them!:)


-The girls shared their Justin party with Uncle Keith, his birthday is a few days before them (he was thrilled to have a Justin Bieber birthday party too:)

Jodee & Jayda are two of the sweetest girls, they are twins, but are so different from each other... Hope you had a great birthday girls, we sure LOVE you bunches!

No bed for Sleeping Beauty..

I promise Jayda has an actual bed... for whatever reason, this night (and a few nights after), Jayda made herself a bed out of a box. Made me laugh that she would rather sleep on the floor in her box, then on her nice bunk bed:)
