The Three Little Girls

Growing up, my sisters, Lisa and Mary, and I were known as "the three little girls." We spent a lot of time playing with this doll house together. And now, when we go visit Grandma Church, our three little girls get to play with this same doll house together. 

Sunday Selfies

I took these beautiful girls outside to get pictures of them, but they were more interested in taking their own pictures, or selfies, using their toy phone. It was too cute!

Tree Climbing

Ethan found that we have a tree that might be good for climbing in our front yard.

Floor Party!

We learned from our old neighbors, the Christensen's, about floor parties. Any time we went over there for dinner, the little ones would eat on the living room floor. Beki would say, "Hey kids! Do you want to have a floor party?" This was all very exciting for the kids. 

We got to have some left over lunch sacks that Grandma Church had prepared. She was in charge of feeding some of our church leaders during Stake conference, including a general authority. The kids were so excited and we had a picnic, or a floor party, on our living room floor. 

Letter Tracing

Zoie is learning to trace her letters and is rather proud of herself! She is really quite good at it! Her excitement was contagious and made Oaklee excited too. 

The Great Outdoors in Our Own Backyard

 

1 Year Old Oaklee

This beautiful baby doll is a 1 year old now! We all have so much love for her. She has blessed our family so much. She is another little angel in the Gallaher family. Happy 1st birthday, sweet girl!

More Birthday Fun!

We got to go to cousin Cody's birthday! He and Ethan share a birth date, but this guy celebrated a few days later so his daddy could be home from work to celebrate. It's so great to have cousins for neighbors!

Artwork

I really admire these girls' art skills. The first picture is one Zoie brought home from nursery. She makes such detailed pictures for a 2 year old. And Sadie is getting so good and staying in the lines and even writing some letters now. Kendall and I have such smart and talented children. 

Art and Play

It's so much fun to see these sweet kids play! Cousin Brayden and Oaklee had a ball in the ball pit together and Zoie was fascinated by the train track world we made together. I love seeing the kids be creative and getting creative along with them. Look at the cute pictures Zoie made in her nursery class at church. So cute! And Sadie's coloring skills are getting quite impressive. I love the school bus she colored. She is getting so good at staying in the lines. 

Double Birthday Fun!

We celebrated birthdays for two very special people today. Ethan and Oaklee have birthdays just 4 days apart from each other. Ethan thought it would be fun to celebrate with his baby sister for her very first birthday. It turned out to be the perfect day! Ethan chose to have a Charlie Brown themed cake. He loves to read the Snoopy and Charlie Brown books and was excited to get some of the series for his birthday. Oaklee had an adorable smash cake to go along with the birthday theme. We are such a blessed family to have Ethan and Oaklee.

Happy 9th birthday, Ethan!

Happy 1st birthday, baby Oaklee!

 

 

Today Is Going to Be a Great Day!

It was another great day! The morning started bright and early with making cupcakes for Ethan to take to school for his birthday. Then, the boys got to go to a special breakfast at school as a reward for making such good grades again. Sadie even got to come along; she had some more preschool screening things. And take a look at Sadie's coloring skills! I am rather impressed.

Preschool Screening

This girl had preschool screening today. She was thrilled to get to go to school. She insisted on bringing a backpack along. She looked SO adorable! She can't wait to go to school like her brothers.
