Friday, September 28, 2012. Babies grow up too fast. It happens every time. I like big kids too. but babies? There's not much like being someone's Mommy. Someone small and tiny who NEEDS me. Someone who loves me no matter what. Someone with soft cheeks who doesn't mind obsessive amounts of kisses. Now she kisses me back. So thankful for all the years I have been given to soak up the baby stage with each of my sweet kids. Excited for each new stage but my oh my do I love a little baby. Links to this post.

http://banmanland.blogspot.com/2013/11/halloween-2013.html
Friday, November 1, 2013. Here's Halloween, start to finish, in no particular order, just uploaded off the camera with a few comments added. Because with no pressure to be perfect, I can still produce blog posts:}. Something about a new house and new neighbours, I felt inspired to make a sign. Well and the fact that we have a gate, and I wanted to make sure they felt welcome). Maddie came up with the idea to be a nerd on her own. Caleb dug this number out of the dress up. He was rearing to go at 3pm.

Sunday, July 14, 2013. I am SO FAR BEHIND! I think Instagram has ruined me with it's instant-ness. Or maybe it's my iPhone? I hardly sit at my computer to do much of anything these days, let alone blog. It feels so redundant. But I have sweet people who remind me that they like to hear what I write. Insert surprised face here}. So- here is my feeble attempt {once again} to get caught up! I had all of the family come for Caleb's birthday this year, at his request. Favours in cute bags. Caleb was so stoked!

Saturday, March 30, 2013. Caity And Breezy's Easter Tea Party. Cambria's birthday falls on Easter day this year. Caity's birthday is in April. We decided to celebrate Cambria and Caitlyn together with one party. Caity asked for a tea party once I had already planned an Easter egg party. I've learned it does not hurt to let the kids have an opinion so we combined the two themes. Mailee set the tea party table beautifully! I wrapped the dining table with this adorable chevron wrapping paper. Cute-ness fact...
