The Lewis Family

I am not sure how we are here already, but a year has passed since this princess entered our lives.  She is a beam of joyin our lives.  She is always happy and smiling and snuggling.  We love our angel face, doll face, princess baby of ours.

I can't believe how old this little man is getting.  He loves school, loves playing outside, loves playing soccer, loves his siblings ( most of the time ;) ), he is an amazing helper and we can't imagine life without daddy's little mini me.

Ah, my little buddy is growing up.  Where has that time gone?  Before I know it he will be at the big kids school and when I asked him what am I supposed to do with him gone all day he replied that I would still have Alana... love that smart boy.  He truly loves being a big brother, but also plays younger brother very well by being Ryken's shadow when he is home.  Zackary loves to play with friends, he loves to be the first to sing good morning to Alana, he loves his blankies and stuffed animals, he loves to be included in anything, he loves to wrestle, he loves going to school and will get ready first thing in the morning and ask me all day long is it time yet though he doesn't go till 1pm.  His favorite colors is all of them, he has said he wants to be a builder when he grows up, he loves chocolate milk and fruit snacks.  We sure do love our crazy Zackary Steven.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I always do my annual Christmas update on my blog, it's my small part to save the trees ;) SO here is our year in 14 fun facts. 1. After waiting 8 weeks to see if our baby was terminal, we found out in February that she was perfectly healthy and even looking like she might come early.  The next week got in my first car accident this year and had to buy a new van quickly since a baby was coming the next month. 2. Alana was born at the end of March, a beautiful healthy angel. 3. April  brought my bday and our 9 year anniversay but was filled with e.r. visits for myself ending in an emergency surgery during the last week. 4. In May Ryken graduated from Kindergarten! 5. We went on a fun family vacation to Yellowstone with the Lewis Clan in June. 6. In July Jasmin, Alana, and I went to Vegas for Jasmin's dance team nationals. Accident nuber 2 occurred on our way, again not my fault but still sucked to have to go through. 7. In August we...

I could overload you with so many great pictures but here are a few to tide you over.  This little dancer had a blast and did amazing dancing at Disneyland.  It was so fun to watch her shine.

We are feeling the holidays sooner than later around here.  Jasmin is going to be dancing at Disneyland's holiday spectacular and then in a stage show next week, so Christmas is in the air.  Then we went and finally did her bday photo shoot and while there I threw in the other kiddles and got a picture for our Christmas card and to replace the 16x20 up on the wall in my front room.  Enjoy!

Sister turned 9 this year and I truly can't believe it has been that long since she came almost 3 weeks early and stole our hearts.  She is such a great member of our family.  She is helpful, smart, nice, obviously beautiful ;), an amazing little dancer, and all around a blessing in our lives.  We love our Jazzy J! Happy Birthday, Sister!
