Jubilee Turns 3




How in the world did this happen? Three years have gone by and now our baby girl isn't so little anymore. For the longest time she has been waiting for her birthday to come around. She was so excited when we finally announced that today was the day. We tried to make it a memorable one for her!
Ok, so we are not professionals at making birthday cakes. At one point of time it was almost a complete flop, but we stuck with it and it turned out pretty cute!  
A lady bug cake!! 
Our little Princess:)
Family circles are the best!
Kaitlyn's 4 youngest siblings came to stay for 10 days while the rest of her family went to Israel. 

Some of her presents! Notice the ladybug card from her creative brother, Jared?


David and Micah David

"He's a bit heavier then you thought! huh David?"

Joshua made her an adorable little picnic table out of a pallet.

Opening her presents!

What is down there under all that paper?

Digging it out- coloring books, tea party set, bubbles, etc.
Blowing out the candles.

Eating ladybug cake and ice cream with friends. What fun!! :)

December Happenings


Hello Everyone, Hope this finds you all doing well!!
Well, December is finally almost gone. Wow, where did that year go to. Was it only last January that I was asking myself what this new year was going to be like? Well, now its gone and we look forward to finding out what the Lord has in store for us in the coming new year. As far as I can tell now, its going to be a very busy, full, fun year! :)

So there was a lot that went on in the month of December. As I put in one of my earlier posts, Jessica, Chris and Kezia came down for a few weeks. Kaitlyn was also here for a few days. I turned the old age of 21 and my nephew, Micah David, who is trying to catch up, turned 3. Four calves were born leaving us with 24 gallons of milk a day to do something with. Dad, Micah and Joshua are working hard at finishing a HUGE tree trimming job in a RV/mobile home park, Justin switched jobs and is now working for another farmer, we had 24 dogs staying over Christmas and 46 total boarders the whole month.The boys went snowboarding, I did chores for the neighbors, my kittens finally got past the bottle feeding stage, Jenny and Micah found a place to live in about three miles from where we are moving and are working at getting moved, packing, and the list goes on.... Yes, this month has been a busy one!
We will start out with Micah David's birthday. It's hard to believe that he is three already.
He loves helping with Annies (Micah's horse) clean up, so a wheelbarrow just his size was the perfect gift.
He also got a pooper scooper just his size!
Happy birthday, little Buddy!! :)
It was so good to have the Derksen family here. It's been so long since we could all sit down as a family and talk about the good old days. Those days when we were all little and we didn't have the problem of siblings getting married and moving away, It's all a good thing, but is sad that some things don't stay the same!

Jubilee and Kezia, looking a bit bored.

Yup, that's us. :)
haha sorry this is kind of a bad picture. 

Jubilee couldn't wait till Kezia could come and play with her. They had so much fun together. Jubilee don't have any other little girls to play with, all the little people in our church are boys, so it was special for her to have a little girl around.
They both love reading books.
Here's the kittens that I raised, they finally hit their cute stage and the little guys really enjoy them.

Jubilee does everything with this little guy. She sticks him in her crayon box.

She talks to her animals. It's the cutest thing. She tells them she will be right back when she leaves them and then she will ask them if they are scared, or how they are and then she will comfort them. 

So we butchered off our old batch of chickens and we had one little bantam hen that Mom decided to keep for Jubilee. Jubilee has fell in love with her "Pumpkin Pie". She named it herself and the once wild chicken has become the tamest chicken around. Jubilee does everything with her.
She loves playing the piano for everyone, especially Pumpkin Pie. She carries her food around in a bowl and Pumpkin Pie sits there eating her food while Jubilee plays. It cracked me up when she put on Mom's reading glasses! haha
Someone mentioned eating a chicken and she says, "Don't eat Pumpkin Pie!"
Jared helped Jessica make penguins out of cream cheese and veggies. 
Isn't he cute?
Our big family of penguins!



Jubilee has us read the same books to her over and over again. She is starting to memorize them. :) Make sure your volume is up!! 

Until next time!

Jubilee Turns 2!!

Our sweet little baby girl turned 2. How time flies! She has been such a joy to our family and we are so thankful for her!

She told us she wanted a sheep cake, but I didn't let her see it till I had it finished . She was all excited and exclaimed, "I like sheep cakes!" :)

She did a good job of blowing out the candles.



She couldn't wait to open her presents. She had been talking about her birthday for days.




Opening her gifts..
Each present she opened she ran and gave to Micah David who was thrilled to be in on all this. She would then run back to open another one. :)
Her expression when she opened her bible. She said, "Oh, wow! That's neat!!"

Lots of fun things! :)

A card from Jessica, Chris and Kezia.. She loved all the stickers. :)

We all love you so much, Jubilee!

Uriah Turns One

On the sixth of this month, this adorable little man turned 1. Uriah is such a sweet little boy. He takes after his Dad's side with all that blond hair and those gorgeous blue eyes!! He has got such a great personality and we all love him so much!!!



Love you, Bubby!! 



Jenny had a birthday party and quite a few uncles, aunts and cousins came. Grandpa and Grandma Garcia also came.
We sang happy birthday to him while he sat staring at us like, "What are you doing?"
When we were all done he joined in with all the clapping.
After getting the candle blown out, with some help from a cousin, he dug right in.

Opening gifts...


\I will be posting more soon, so be sure to be right back!
