The Sweets

• Kaylee turned 4!!
• Spending time with family.
• 7 months down, 5 more months until this deployment is OVER!

The Sours

• Kaylee turned 4, it’s a sweet as well — but it makes me sad thinking about how fast she’s growing up.

• Harper cut his finger.  Not bad enough to need stitches but bad enough to make me freak out.

Now for some photos.  These are from Kaylee’s pool party earlier today. 

Your dad and I love you with a thousand hearts baby girl.

Tomorrow Kaylee turns four.  How did this happen so fast?  Wasn’t she born just yesterday?  I wanted to write out this long blog about the funny things that have happened over the last four years and what not, but currently my eyes are starting to get that prickly feeling right before you cry, I can’t believe my baby girl is growing up so fast.  So I will save the stories for another time and leave you with a few photos of her on her birthdays over the last four years.  The last one isn’t her on her birthday obviously since it’s tomorrow but you get the idea.

“While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about.”

is what I’m playing today. Since I didn’t have the time on Sunday or Wednesday to make the normal blogs here they are all wrapped up in one. Enjoy!

Much Love,

A couple of days ago I dragged Kaylee out to take her birthday photos for her invites.  She huffed and puffed and complained about everything under the sun, but we did manage to get some wonderful ones that captured who my baby girl really is and I can’t wait to reveal them on here, but that will have to wait until after her birthday on the 31st.

I let Kaylee flip through the photos on the camera inbetween locations and when she saw these two she said “Mom, we have a winner for my imbatations”  She proudly showed me the ones she thought were winners and here they are, not the ones that will be used for the invites but they are her favorites.

Enjoy!

Much Love,

to my good friend Laura and her husband Marty!! They welcomed a handsome little boy into their family a few days ago and he is ADORABLE!!

Welcome to the world baby Gavin!!

Much Love,

Meet little Miss Kyleigh Page.  She has been trying to make her way to the blog for some time now.  Here she is at just 5 days old, goodness she makes me almost consider begging the red headed fox for another one, almost.

Babies + black & white go together like PB&J, so black & white is all there is for this post.  Enjoy! 

Much Love,

The Sweets

• I passed my History final.  Such a relief to be done with that class!
• All things Mother’s Day.  It was such a great day filled with family and fun
• Buttermilk Pecan Pie = Pure Deliciousness!!  My mom makes the BEST pies ever.
• Summer dresses, love’em!

The Sours

• My Jeep.  Why is it that things that I have no clue about go wrong while the red headed fox is away??  On a good note, it’s fixed now and good to go.
• Bad drivers, even worse bad drivers when it’s raining.
• Potty training little boys — again something I know nothing about!  It’s been quiet the experience so far.

My Boys, I love’em both so much.
