October Birthdays

We had three grandchild birthdays to celebrate in October. The first was Bryce on October 9 who turned 2 years old.

Bryce loves Clifford so since he was visiting Jay & Kristen on his actual birthday Kristen & the girls made him a Clifford cake. They are so amazing with their cake decorating skills!

We celebrated his birthday on a Wednesday evening at our house. Melissa brought the cupcakes for him. He was so pleased.

Here is his birthday video. He had some trouble blowing out the candles :)

On the 26th, Cassidy was born...

This is such a great newborn photo!

...and on the 29th, Mark turned 9 years old!

Another creative cake by Kristen. Mark loves his farm equipment!

Here is his birthday video.

We are so thankful for our 10 grandchildren and love celebrating their birthdays with them.

Meeting Cassidy

Cassidy came home last Sunday and we couldn't wait to meet her! In the evening we got our first introduction. Jay & Kristen and their family were also there so it was special to see her cousins' reaction. Here are some pictures.

Oh how I love to hold a newborn!

She always tucks her little arm up by her face

Proud Grandparents

She's so tiny!

How can you not smile when you look at a newborn :)

I love this picture! They all took turns holding her and were so excited to meet her. The girls were especially happy to have a girl cousin :)

Cassidy weighed 5 pounds 10 ounces at birth and as of Friday she was up to a whopping 5 pounds 15 ounces. She is doing great and of course Josh & Julissa are wonderful parents. It is so nice to see their happy family of 3 (whoops, 4, I can't forget Spartan who is doing very well with her).
