Innocence

I love having three little girls. I love to capture their silly faces and sweet moments on my camera. I love how innocent they are and the looks they give me. I was so excited when I saw a box on my front porch yesterday. Guess what it was..a couple of new, super cute pettiskirts for the girls. Well, actually one is for the girls and the other is for a prop for newborn photos. I think I can squeeze Aislynn into it though so get ready to see some of her in the next week or so. The girls thought they were so pretty and wanted to try them on right away. Here is a little sneak peek at how colorful they are. I hope to find a wonderful spot to take the girls and take pictures of them in these skirts that are one of a kind!!! They are made my Oopsy Daisy Baby and are wonderful quality.

Father's Day and Our Anniversary

Today, June 21, is Father's Day but it is also the day my husband and I were married 7 years ago.This photo is of my dad and I from this day seven years ago. He passed away last year right about this time from COPD. So Dad, Happy Father's Day up above, I hope you are watching down on us and smiling today!

First time a Father: January 5, 2004- McKenna Haylie was born.

Second time a father: January 17, 2006- Kambry Lynn was born.

Third time a father: August 22, 2008- Aislynn Kate was born.

This morning we woke up at a fairly early hour, got dressed, and headed out the door to Cracker Barrel to take Daddy out for breakfast. We love country cooking and had our fill on anything and everything. Even Aislynn joined in and had many bites of pancakes, grits, scrambled eggs, biscuits, hashbrown casserole and even finished off her banana plum grape baby food. She wanted more and more and fussed until she got it. I think we are just going to relax around the house for the rest of the day. I love a lazy Sunday, it just makes more work for Monday right?
These years have gone by so quickly and now we have three beautiful daughters, one dog, and two cats. The above picture is from out first dance as a married couple. We love to dance and miss the times when we could easily go out on a Friday night. I don't see any of those days coming soon, maybe down the road when are kids are more grown. At least we have a loving home with many memories made each and every day.

Happy Father's Day all you fathers out there and Happy Anniversary to us!!

What's Happening Today?

It is official...Aislynn's top left tooth has broken through her gums. We are well into teething and it's no fun. She has been waking up at least once a night for the past month so I am just used to it by now. It's not too bad though, I go in her room, nurse her for about 5 minutes, and she lays right back down and goes right to sleep. It's just the fact of having to get out of bed and walk across the house. I am sure it could be much worse.
Last night I woke up and found McKenna laying in between me and my hubby. I have no idea when she came into our room but I since our bed is a tempurpedic I don't feel any movement unless she bumps me so I have no idea that anyone came to bed. Does anyone else out there have a tempurpedic bed? I never really thought I wanted one until I learned a little more about them. They have a 20 year warranty which is a very good thing. They don't loose their shape, and they conform to your body. It's not the type of bed you can bounce on. At least I can keep my kids off of it because it's no fun for them to walk around in quick sand..hah!!
It is hot here. Not dry hot but humid hot, take your breath away when you open the door hot. I am sure it is much hotter in other places but boy I need a pool. I can't even walk outside to check the mail without coming back in all sweaty. I guess I need to get used to it, it is only the middle of June.

Check Up Time Again

I took McKenna and Aislynn to the pediatrician today for check ups. McKenna was just there to get a physical for school. That's right, I said it, school. She officially starts Kindergarten in the fall. Wow, where has the past 5 1/2 years gone?? She weighed in at 39 lbs. and is 3 ft 7 inches tall. McKenna is still missing her two front teeth. I am not sure when those are going to come in. She loves to run, anywhere and everywhere. We have to tell her multiple times a day to stop running in the house. You would think by now she would know better. Sometimes when we ask her why she is running in the house again she replies, "because it's so much fun." Another one of the silly things she does is pretend to be a dog. That is what she is doing in the photo of her. Aislynn is a little over 9 months old. We are running a little behind on her well baby check up because of the trip to Disney. So today she weighed 16 lbs 12 ounces and is 29 inches tall, just barely over 2 feet!! Even though she has yet to officially crawl she is making much progress. I suspect that any day now I will be chasing her throughout the house. She likes to talk in her own little way. Alot of the time she is just yelling and making noise. Usually it is when we are talking and she decided she wants to be the loudest one. She loves watching her big sisters play also. She is such a happy baby most of the time. She knows what she want when she sees it and will persist on something until we give in. She loves trying to get the remote. It's her new favorite toy. Sometimes we have to get the one out of the other room so we have peace while we watch our show and she't not changing channels on us.
