Caught up for now...

 

 

Saturday was Maddox's first birthday, he had a cowboy party & all of the kids had cowboy hats & badges it was so cute! Katie had so much fun playing with her buddy Braelyn. Maddox's cake was so cute & he did pretty good digging into the smash cake with some help from his big sister! Happy Birthday Maddox we really enjoyed your first birthday & look forward to spending many more with you!!

Happy Birthday Granny!

 

 

Last Sunday we had dinner at Granny's house for her Birthday, we all brought a dish & had birthday cake for dessert. All of the kids played & entertained everyone after dinner, they were so funny! I am so glad we could spend the day with my grandmother & my family, I love them all so much!

Snow Day!

 

 

 

 

We all really enjoyed the snow a few weeks ago, it started Wednesday night while we were out eating dinner & we ended up driving home it what looked like a blizzard because it was snowing so hard. By the time we made our hour drive home the ground was covered. Katie couldn't wait to play in it & there was even enough on the porch to throw at Brad & I. The next morning I bundled everyone up & we went out long enough to take a few pictures & make some snow angels. I love the snow & think it is so beautiful but I sure was glad when it was all gone & it warmed up to the 60's & 70's a few days later!

Sweet Baby Boy!

 

 

He really is a sweet baby & he loves his big sister! Will has been sitting up good for a while now & he tries to scoot around the floor but doesn't know how to get where he wants to go yet. I can't believe he is growing up so fast & will be crawling before I know it. He has just started saying momma & it is the sweetest sound, I'm still not sure if he is saying it to get my attention but he does just like Katie did & says it when he wants someone to get him or is getting mad about something. I enjoy hearing it now but I know a day will come when he will wear it out!

Check ups

 

 

 

 

Katie & Will both had check up's yesterday, overall it was a good visit, except Will has his first ear infection. He has been fussy for the last few days but I wasn't sure if it was his ears or teething. We had one of the best Dr. visits in a very long time, I like it when there is little or no screaming involved! Both kids were great, especially Katie, I can't brag about her enough. We talked about going to the Dr. the day before & told her how she needed to act like a big girl since she was 3 years old. She sat in the chair for her blood pressure check, & got on the scales with no problem. The Dr. checked her out & everything looked great. After both kids where checked out it was time to give a urine sample, Katie said "mommy, that cup is too little!" I couldn't help but laugh & wonder what she might have been picturing in her mind. The last thing was a finger prick, this is when I thought she might lose it, but she didn't even blink when they stuck her finger & she was so excited about the smiley face the nurse drew on her bandaid. I said to her when we were leaving, "Katie I am so proud of you I think I might cry!" she said, "MOMMY!, don't cry be happy!" Of course after she said that I didn't cry, I laughed. Here are both of their stats.

Katie: 3 years old - 39 lbs. & 40 1/4" (she was off the charts for weight & height)

Will: 6 months old - 17.3 lbs. & 27" (75% height & 50% weight)
