No More Soda

I told Grace she couldn't have anymore soda, which brought tears to Grace's eye. Alece snapped this picture of Grace, trying to be happy with tears in her eyes.  She is so cute!!!

Paper Bouquet

Marley loves crafts and loves imagining.  She took several sheets of tissue paper and made a flower bouquet.  She carried it around most of the day!

Where's the PJs

I found Hendrix in his crib, after his nap, and some how he managed to take of his PJs...he's so funny!

Nap Time Baby

I found this sweet puppy asleep in his bed during nap time.  I love it!!!

Hendrix's First Birthday Bash

Even though we had a family birthday party, I wanted to get a bunch of our friends and family together to celebrate Hendrix's first birthday.  After all, this quite possibly could be the last first birthday we will celebrate in our family!  It was so much fun to have even one come over and hang out!  The turn out was fabulous!!!

How Did She Get That

Jono sent me this picture of Josslyn chewing on something...a tampon! What?! I don't know how she got a hold of this, but at least it is unused!!!

Marley's First Day of Kindergarten

I am so proud that my little Marley girl is big enough to start kindergarten.  But, at the same, time my heart is so heavy that she is growing up.  It's not fair that they grow so fast!  I want her to stay my little girl for so much more time than is granted!! I love her so very much!!!

New Backpack

Marley was more than thrilled to get a new backpack pack for school...she loved modeling it for us!

Charlie's First Day of School

Our wonderful friends (who we miss so much!) have a lovely daughter that is Marley's age and is starting Kindergarten the same time as Marley.  This is her adorable "first day of school" picture! She is so cute!

Kimbra Selfie

I have no idea why I took this picture. I usually shy away from selfies...and looking at this picture, I know why!

Goofy Glasses

Grandma Ruth gave us these crazy straw glasses. You put them on and then use them to drink out of whatever potable liquid you desire.
