Birthday fun......

Braden, Daddy, and I had a blast playing with all his fun new toys on his birthday! We are going to have fun outside this summer!

Happy 4th Birthday Braden

Natalie honored Braden's request and made a blue train cake AND cupcakes. Thanks Natalie- it looked great .....so do all of her other cakes- check them out at For Goodness Cakes

Thanks to everyone who was able to come celebrate with us! You all made it a very special birthday for Braden!

Braden had a blast opening his presents when we got home! Thanks for all the fun loot!

Kinley 10 Weeks

Our girl is getting big! Those cheeks are getting so chunky! We love her so much!
She is still such a happy girl. We rarely hear a fuss and she is super smiley almost all the time! She looks pretty serious here as she is taking in her crazy brother's antics.

New Bike

Braden is very lucky to get some great hand-me-downs from his cousins. Thank you Julie and Ian for the new bike!

Random pics.....

Thanks for the adorable dress McLain family!

Braden was very proud of alphabet puzzle building skills!

First day at Kings Island

Braden loved every single ride he went on. We hope that enjoys the big coasters someday too.....we have a few more inches before we get there though!

Kinley enjoyed KI from the comfort of her stroller.

This smile is a real one, not the posed picture smile that we usually get. He must have been having fun!

8 weeks old

Kinley had her 8 week check up on Monday. I can't believe she is already 2 months old! The time is flying by too fast.
Height 21 1/2" 25%
Weight 10 lbs 7 oz 50% (most of this is in her cheeks : )
She is a very happy baby and is almost always content, unless hungry or tired. Mommy or Daddy's presence is all she needs if she does start crying. She smiles all the time but the most for Daddy and Aunt Julie. Already a true girlie girl, calling her a "pretty girl" gets the best smiles! Her sleeping is all over the place. She has blessed us with a few all nighters but they were only teasers as she goes back and forth between waking up once or twice. We are hoping that she figures it out soon. Until then we'll take what we can get! She is truly a joy and we feel blessed to have such a sweet girl.

I finally caught a good smile so I had to post. Sorry for the bad camera work- I was holding it off to the side while I tried to make her smile and it sorta worked!

Happy Mother's Day

Kinley wanted to look pretty for all the special mothers in her life. Don't the pink converses look cute with her little dress? Thanks to Aunt Julie for those!

Big Brother, Little Sister

I almost missed my opportunity to get this shot, my baby girl is growing right out of her newborn clothes. She is getting so big!
This picture captures both of my kiddos' personalities so well. Braden is always goofy and having fun and Kinley is always happy and smiling! I love them both so much!

Lucky girl.......

Kinley is a lucky girl, she has great cousins!
