This year has been so wonderful! We've already had Uncle Curt and Aunt Kelli come and visit. Aunt Loni (my lovely baby sister!!!!) came in early April as well and her post is coming soon!!! (Don't judge my lack of posting..... it's only been a few months since she's been gone ha!)

Aunt Kelli playing catch with Hadley at Grandmother's house. 

Checking out Brennon's Easter Egg Hunt loot :)

 Hadley loves putting on make-up and Aunt Kelli was quick to please. Let me tell ya, Hadley was a very happy little girl! 

Aunt Kelli and Baby Boy.  Kelli is going to be such a sweet mommy (baby Lulu Scout making her appearance this August!!!!!)

Uncle Curt took the kids fishing out on Uncle Mike's property.  Before they went out everyone had to get a Bass Pro Shop cap.  The girls look so cute in their little hats!

We love Uncle CURT and Aunt KELLI!!!!

Simply Delicious!

It's his plump lips and his 

full cheeks and his 

rolly polly arms and legs 

that make him *one of* my favorite desserts!!!

Oh, and check out his latest obsession.... 

drooling. on. everything!!!

Even the spit bubbles don't turn me off! 

He sure knows how to steal hearts :)

Brothers

Nate 5 months old

Brennon 5 months old

What do you think??   :)

Southern Magnolias

Our Magnolia trees are in full bloom. 

I sat downwind of one of my trees a few nights ago while I held my baby boy and watched my husband jump on the trampoline with my other three children who were giggling uncontrollably. 

It was one of those moments in my life that brought pure joy.  

God is really, really great. 

Our neighborhood park

The neighborhood park is just right behind our house so a 5 minute walk, and we're there! Jayden and Hadley were in school so it was just the boys.  Brennon loves the swings!  And check out this cool picture I took totally by accident!!! 

The train tracks run right by the park, and like I've posted before, Brennon LOVES trains.  The boys heard it coming and so they ran to a place where they could really see it.  

There it is!  Super loud! 

 Joe's about to wave at the train conductor who poked his arm out of the locomotive to say hello to us,  Brennon was pretty excited about it for the rest of the afternoon.

Cute little Nate

We were headed out for  a walk.... here's Nate, very unimpressed with the stroller...

He wasn't loving the buckles so I undid them.... he's still not sure that he likes the stroller.

Yeah, these pictures are a little old.  Nate is about 3 1/2 months here.  Why am I showing you these? Because these are some of the first pictures of when Nathan started to suck on his hand.  

He attacks his hands!!

See the hand

Attack the hand

Whole heartedly enjoy the hand

Show off the red finger

Hadley's Preschool Graduation

So.... Had's graduation was back in March!!  AAHHH!  I am behind (no surprise there, right?)  She LOVED preschool - her teacher was awesome and made learning so exciting. 

I LOVE this girl :)

Hit the Stip

Hadley created this game and called it Hit the Stip.  Who knows what it actually means :) Ask Hadley..... She knows :) 

She flicks a little piece of plastic down the blocks and into Brennon's closet.  That's the game ;) 

Hadley played for quite a while.... apparently it's pretty entertaining.  I love how she has all of the guys set up to watch! 

Fun with the Hose

:)

This girlie loves to get all dressed up :)

Dress?

Tights?

Bow?

Yes, please....

Sunday's are the BEST!

How cute are these two??

i LOVE this picture :)

Hadley and Grandaddy have this tradition where they give each other a kiss and then hurry to wipe it off like it is the most repulsive thing in the world.... it is so funny to watch. They've done this for as long and I can remember :)

Some family resemblance??

Aunt Lisa spending some time with Nate

Nathan LOVES when his sissy's sing to him. Here they have just finished singing, "Popcorn popping on the apricot tree"

These two have a very special relationship

I always want to remember that this is what we do.... sit around and just enjoy each other's company. I love this family!!

Grandaddy and his cookies ;)
