ADAM MICHAEL SHUMWAY!

Adri and Mike had their baby. Adam was born at 11:00pm March 2oth weighing in at 6 lbs 13 oz and measuring at 19.5 inches long. We are dying to get to Utah and see this beautiful boy. I am so proud of Mike and Adri and they are going to be great parents. Tanner just lights up everytime I talk to him about his cousin Adam. I think he remembers running around with him and Crew in Heaven.

Beautiful new mommy and her baby boy! It's a dark picture but it is one of my favorites. Adri is going to be such an amazing mom.

Beautiful family!

Sandy and Hayley

For Sienna's actual birthday we picked daddy up from work a little bit early and went to eat at Cracker Barrel, Sienna's choice of course. After dinner we came home and had Sandy and Hayley over for cake. They are such great friends and made Sienna feel so loved all over again!

I love Sienna's face. She was so happy that Sandy and Hayley came over to eat cake and play.

"Thank-You" hugs for Hayley!

Sienna's Party

We went to the park early Saturday morning to set up and it was so windy but we made it work and Sienna had such a great time. I think everyone that we invited came and I am so grateful for everyone supporting my little girl.

.

Dear Sienna,

You are a very special girl. You are such a beautiful girl inside and out. You are mommy's best helper, one of daddy's best buds and take such good care of your sister and brother. You are such a blessing in all of our lives. You are so unbelievably sweet and we love you so much. Happy Birthday, Princess!! WE LOVE YOU! (Did I already say that?)

..

Getting ready for the fun to begin.

Birthday girl! Matt freaked out a little bit when I got her dressed that morning at how grown up she looked in her new outfit.

Climbing to get some eggs and candy.

Checking out the good stuff they found.

.

FOUR! It's going to take me awhile to get used to seeing four.

.

Sienna was so cute when her friends were singing happy birthday to her. She didn't know what to do with all of the attention.

Opening her presents.

.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIENNA!! So many people love you and came to support you on your special day. You got phone calls and visits all day from everyone that loves and misses you.

Party Pictures Coming Later

More pictures to come from the party (thanks to Aunt Allie!!) but here are a few from today.

.

Is she really holding up four?! Matt freaked out a little bit this morning after I got Sienna dressed at how grown up she looks. It really is crazy to me that our little princess is four years old (on Monday). I have spent so much time snuggling and kissing on my baby girl lately and reflecting on our life since we've had her. It is hard for me to not get emotional when I look at my kids and see how big they're getting.

I love this picture because it captures how sweet and humble Sienna is and how much she really does care. Her friends sang happy birthday and she soaked up all of the love but didn't know what to do with the attention. I am so grateful for Sienna. She is the sweetest little girl around and is always looking out for others. I don't remember the last time I went a day without hearing, "Mom, I love you" at least twenty times from her. She is so bright and loves to learn. I am so proud of my little princess and I am so grateful for everyone that came to support her and help make her birthday memorable. She has been talking about and looking forward to her 'friend' birthday party for months and I think she had the perfect morning. Thank you everyone for loving my little girl and making her feel so special today.

Sienna's Cake

Sienna gasped and said, "Mom, I love you!" as soon as she saw her cake. She has been asking for a princess cake with a unicorn and stars on it for weeks so I am super stoked that she was satisfied with a princess alone. Tomorrow morning is Sienna's birthday party at the park and then on Monday we'll have Sandy and the girls over for dessert and possibly go out to dinner as a family.

My Snuggle Bug

This little guy melts my heart. Every morning Tanner snuggles with me in bed for a few hours. (I keep him with me in bed after he finishes eating.) I really don't know if mornings could be any better. Many mornings start with all of our kids in our room as happy as they've ever been. I unwrap Tanner from his swaddler and he stretches and smiles like crazy and then is attacked by his sisters with hugs and kisses. The girls say the sweetest things to him and Matt and I just sit back and laugh. It really is the perfect start to any day.

Family

I love my beautiful little family. They keep me busy but they keep me happy. I am one very lucky girl and feel extremely blessed to have the family that I do. Matt and I are constantly talking about how blessed we feel to have our kids. We have so much fun as a family and truly love being around one another. We haven't been very good about doing things with other people lately because we enjoy the time as our little family so much and don't like giving it up.

My most wonderful neighbor Sandy and her daughters bought the kids these new shirts and I love them. They are by far the cutest 'big sister, little brother' shirts I have seen and they're on the cutest kids ever too. LOVE MY PEOPLE!

.

I cannot get enough of how much my kids love each other. It makes me so happy.

Tanner is always either sucking on his hands or holding his own hands.
