Here Lately

Gracie was not happy that Caden got to hold Brenna first ... because it's SO important to be first, ya know.

She got over it pretty quick though.

How did Jason get this little girl to sleep like this?

By doing his favorite past time, of course! That man loves to vaccum. But hey, any sure way to get her to sleep is OK with me!

I love her little flower towel. And she smells soo good after a bath!

Mother's Day

My friend Bree sent me a text saying "happy mother's day! times 3!" And that is crazy!

I did get a few pictures of the kiddos on Mother's day. But I didn't get a picture of me and all three of the kids dressed up like I wanted to. Or a picture of me and mom either. Maybe next year. :( We dedicated Brenna at church, but I don't have pictures of that either. (I'm going to have to work on that, but it's really hard to remember everything, especially a little camera) The church did have some one taking pictures and I can't wait to see how it turned out. Gracie and Caden did great at "big" church and then we took them to their Sunday school classes. It was a good day.

Is this girl photogenic or what!

They do love each other .... when they're not fighting or annoying one another.

Ready for baby dedication.

Mom made brownies for dessert and we topped them with whip cream, strawberries and chocolate syrup! YUM!

As you can tell, the kids loved it!

Happy Mother's Day!

I had to add this one. She was all curled up on the couch this morning. So sweet!

Wait a Minute!?

How did that happen? How did a month fly by so quickly? I can't believe Brenna is alreay a month old!

She is doing great! Eating like a horse, so it's no wonder she is growing like a weed! On our scale she weighs about 10 lbs.

She's holding her head up more and a little higher, too.

She's gaining some more cheeks and a more pronounced double chin! I've been told the added "fluff" makes her look more like Gracie did at this age.

She's still a good sleeper, but is awake more often now. Sometimes that's good and sometimes it's not. :)

Big brother and sister still like her!

My babies!

Happy One Month Birthday, Brenna!

Talented Friends

I just wanted to show off some of the beautiful things that my friends have made for Brenna!

Christy made these cute little pillows.

Joy made this ... so cute!


Holly made this for her - love it!

Lacey made this and I can't wait for her to use it!

And Cynthia made one of her famous blankets for her, too!

Thanks for all your hard work and creativity!

And, of course, I had to add a few pictures of the kids :)

Sweetie!

Cowgirl Gracie, complete with her black hat, trusty gun, too big gun belt, and Halloween pants!

Sticker boy!

LOVE SPRING!

Spring is my favorite time of year for many reasons: the weather, Easter, my birthday and now Brenna's (Caden's is still in winter), the flowers and rain. It's the end of staying cooped up inside from the cold! You can start wearing shorts and flip-flops agian! And it also means that the swimming pool will be open soon!

We got to go play at the park the other morning in the beautiful spring weather, so I snapped some pictures. Gracie and Caden need a little attention with all those Brenna pictures.

I'm so glad they have eachother to play with, especially right now. If they would just stop fighting.... :)

Call us if you want to go play!

Who wore it better?

I saved this little dress that Gracie wore to church for the first time!

I think Gracie filled it out a little more than Brenna, and she was not as happy as Brenna was at picture time. I have alot of Gracie's clothes saved for Brenna, so we'll get to have many comparisons to come. I wonder if Brenna will wear an 18 month dress at 6 months like Gracie did! :)

First Week (and a half)

Well, the last week and a half have flown by! We have a sweet baby girl and a little less sleep, but overall we are doing great! So far Gracie and Caden seem to be adjusting well to the new addition, but that is probably mostly because she sleeps sooo much - its almost like she's not here at times. Brenna is doing great! Eating like a champ and already gaining weight. She was 5 oz heavier at her 1 week appointment and Dr. Wiley said she looked great! We may have another Gracie on our hands, the way she's eating :) I'll take it! I think chubby babies are happy babies!

GG with all 3!

I don't think he could fit another kid in his lap!

I'm so glad that my mom (Mimi) came and stayed with us!

My messy boy... he loved that chocolate!

Daddy and his girls!
