Indiana

 I will warn you now there are a lot of pictures but we recently went to Indiana to visit my family and it was so nice to go out and see everyone and to get to have Brad come with us.  

 Poor Bailey did not feel well the first part of the trip.

 Lily, Gavin, Sam, and Jason just chillin

 Our bonfire.  It was Huge! It is starting to die down in this picture

 I of course loved all the baby holding I got! 

 And Jason had a really good time at the bonfire!!! :-)

 Oh the joys of living out in the country you get to drive Pappy's truck starting at the age of 2 :-)

Random

So I am pretty far behind on blogging so tonight I just want to share some random photo of the us kids and tomorrow I will play some catch up! 

So every now and then I go in the kids rooms after they fall asleep to make sure they fell asleep in bed or if they are sick I like to check on them and it was so funny to see, even in their sleep, their personalities.  

 Superheros are a pretty big deal in our house right now.  

We went to the zoo a few weeks ago and this big guy was carrying this blanket everywhere with him.  It was too funny.

Aren't they sweet?!

My Mothers Day present.  We had the same cookware from our wedding and it was worn out so Bradley was sweet enough to get me a new set.  They are Great!

Jason at his ball skills practice.  He does so great.  And after 8 weeks of practice he Finally did push ups and when he finished he was excited because there was NO grass on his shirt!! :-)

And then there is Bailey... I really don't know what to do with her.  She is a child who is determined to do things her way and she has absolutely no fear! I can't leave her alone for 2 seconds.

OH BOY!

Children for Sale!

Okay, they aren't really for sale. Yesterday was just one of those day. For some reason they were extra whiny and we were about to go crazy! Brad mentioned making them sit in their own individual circles and they wouldn't be able to leave and bother each other. Well, Jason really liked this idea and kept asking for his circle. So I got a few blankets and made them their own circles. Jason actually sat in his for 30 minutes and really enjoyed it.

Aren't they cute!

Careful!! This one looks cute but she has quite the bite. :-)

I love my family

I do love my family! You know what else I love? SPRING TIME! I am so excited for this warm weather. I am ready to get out of this house and soak up the sun. I know the kids are even more ready!

Jason is our little photographer. He loves to take pictures of all of us throughout the day.

Here I am on the cold day this past week. I think I had just woke up and was making breakfast...that's why I look so dang good :-)

This weekend was gorgeous too. So we headed over to the park with Daddy. We did lots of fun things like go down the slides, swing, played with new friends, and we got to watch some little boy play baseball. Jason wanted to join them so badly but he isn't quite big enough. Next summer!!!

Daddy and Jason at the park.

I know, I know. She is just so dang cool! Well at least she thinks so :-)

What am I going to do...

With this crazy girl!

Bailey is sweet and spunky, loving and energetic, cuddly and rambunctious. She adds so much to this family. I can't not remember what life was like before she came to this world. She definitely keeps me on my toes and is a sassy little thing. However, Bailey is so sweet and nurturing. Throughout the day she will go around to each of us and make sure we know she loves us by giving hugs and kisses and telling us she loves us.

Having a girl has been fun. I have been doing some fun things with her hair and she actually sits still long enough for me to do it. So this is what it looks like right after I do it.

And this is what happens as soon as we get in the car.

:-)

Sweet Warm Weather

Oh warm weather how I have missed you! I have been checking the weather forecast everyday. Just hoping for a warm day and lucky for us today and tomorrow are 70 and gorgeous! With the beautiful weather we decided to head over to the zoo with some friends.

Jason and Elena in front of the Komodo Dragons.

There dragons were so active today. Here is one right up against the glass by Jason.

Strangely, Bailey would only get so close to it.

Look at these cute kiddos. Elena, Jason, Bailey, and Blake in front of the Alligators!

We finally met up with our other friends. So we had to play some drums. Mia, Jason, Elena, and Gavin.

It was a rough day for Bailey. She hates to sit in the stroller while every one else gets to walk. So I let her walk and she still isn't the best listener and she wiped out and scraped up her knee pretty bad. Luckily there was a nice lady with a first aid kit. So on our way out we rode the carousel.

Jason loves riding the aminals (no that is not a typo that is how he says animals even though I correct him every time. I think he does it on purpose now!)

After the zoo the kids were SO HUNGRY :-) so we stopped at McDonalds to get some chicken nuggets! Cute Jason and Elena enjoying their lunch.

I sure do love this girl. Especially in this dress! :-)
