Kids of The Family

I love looking at pictures that have all of the kids of the family in them. There are so many little ones in my family & I absolutely adore all of them! None of these include pictures of Emily or baby Camron because neither were born yet or around for the picture, we will have to have the whole family together again soon to inclue our newest additions.

This is a picture of all of my mom & step-dad's grandchildren [minus Emily who wasn't born yet]

Jacob, Marshall, Mackenzie, Tyler, Sidni, Ashlynn, Addison, Ava & Sofia.

My parents took the older grandchildren to Huntsville State Park during Spring Break for the day & everyone had a blast. Here's a picture of them jumping off a ledge to the ground.

Tyler, Marshall, Mackenzie, Jacob & Sidni.

On January 1, 2011 we had a family get together at a little Pavillion not too far from my parents' house. Here is a picture of most of the kids that attended.

Ava, Sofia, Sidni, Tyler, Gabby, Jacob, Marshall, Calyn, Bryn & Mackenzie.

Missing: Gilliana, Dominic & Emily.

catching up [again]

Buna Bound

On March 26 we headed to Buna to visit some of my family on my dad's side that we hadn't seen in a very long time. Some of who had never met my daughters. This was our first road trip since Emily had joined our family and I for one, was very, very nervous. Thankfully she slept the whole way there, unfortunately, we were not as lucky with the ride home, but we made it in one piece nonetheless.

Matt & I had bought Mackenzie a cool Crayola pad with invisible markers that we knew would keep her preoccupied for a good 10 minutes on our journey to Buna.

SUCCESS!

Finally in Buna!

Yay!!

This is a picture of 5 generations!

This is me and my grandpa. He is a quiet man. With many stories.

I love this man!

A picture I never thought would be taken.

These two lovely ladies are my cousins [just 2 of the many]

Micah & Danielle.

We didn't get to talk much but just from being in their pressence I can tell they have grown to be amazing young ladies. They are both funny and very outgoing.

Definitely not the two little girls I remember from years ago.

:)

Red Friday

March 18 was 'Red Friday' a day to wear red to show your support for our troops.

Emily was all ready for showing her support!

We Support Our Troops!

St. Patrick's Day

Mackenzie invited her cousin, Sidni, to stay the night the day before St. Patty's day. So, in the festive spirit I painted their nails green & made sure they had their green shirts ready to put on the next morning before coming out of the room so no one would get pinched. :)

Later that day Mackenzie & I baked green cupcakes.

Mackenzie absolutely loved using the food coloring.

They turned out so pretty & yummy!

This year was Miss Emily's first St. Patrick's day but she didn't care about wearing green to avoid pinches or eating green cupcakes.

Maybe next year she will be just a tad bit more excited.

Picture Time :)

I'm 3 Months old! [3/14]

3 Months

I can not believe my baby is already 3 months old!

Time is flying by & I'm excited & sad all at once.

I can not wait until she is able to crawl & start blabbing more.

But at the same time I want her to stay my baby forever.

She is an amazing baby & never ceases to amaze us everyday.

<3>

What You're Up To:

You are "talking" so much now. I love hearing it so much!

You had your very first full on laugh & I cried!

You have more hair than your sister did at 1 year old.

You love your bows & hate it when we mess with them!

You are now wearing size 2 diapers.

You wear 3-6 months clothes & some 6-9 months.

You wear size 1 shoe, although you don't care for them.

Not sure on your weight, you will go back to the doctor in April.

You are growing & growing so well!

:)
