Bailey's Birthday Celebration

I realize this is a month late - I apologize, bear with me! Bailey's Birthday weekend was very memorable. The day before her 1st birthday we baptized her infront of our church congregation. It was neat to stand up there as a whole family and commit to raise our daughter to know and love Jesus to the best of our abilities.

After the baptism we went home and prepared to CELEBRATE! I had a great time decorating for my sweet baby girl with LOTS of pink!!

Bailey loved her cake!

But, I think her favorite part was her baby doll and strollers!!

She wanted to climb in there and snuggle with "Dolly"

Though she looks like she is mad she really is giving that baby doll a big 'ol squeeze!!

I can't believe our sweet baby girl is 1 - it went by so quickly, but I have loved every minute I had had with her!! She completes our little family and adds so much fun to our home! We love you sweet girl!

Bailey's 1st Birthday!!!!

This sweet baby girl turned 1 today!!! I can hardly believe it!! She has been a huge blessing to our family!! She is a happy, smiley ball of enegery! We couldn't love her anymore!!

PK-4

Today Reed had his first day of PK-4! He was so excited to get to go to school everyday, and see his sweet friends!!

Brother thinks he is big too!!

Getting ready to go into his class

Put his lunchbox and backpack in his cubby just like a big boy!

And went to play with playdoh with his sweet friend!!
I am so thankful for our church and to be able to trust, that without a doubt, Reed is being loved and cared for there!!

St. George Island!

Last week while Daddy was out of town the babies and I took a trip to the beach with some sweet friends! Being that we live in Tallahassee, we drove almost 2 hours to go to a real beach with water that wouldn't make us sick! LOL!

We all had SO much fun!! Both of my boys had a friend to play with that is their age, and they played all day long!!!!!

Poor Cader really wanted to be held, but Mommy was holding Bailey :(
Luckily Miss Brooke was nice enough to help me out!!

Cade and his buddy "Coley"

"Surfin"

Cade was so worn out that he crawled in my lap and passed out sitting up, even with his baby sister terrorizing him! I layed him down and he napped for a few - then I woke him up so he could play some more before we left!

Bailey LOVES the water and sand!! She had NO fear!!

New and Improved Room!

Before...
We finally bunked the boys beds, and I must say, I am LOVING it!! They have SO much more room to play, and their beds are so cozy!!

Taking their beds apart was an adventure...I had no idea there would be so many "treasures" hiding underneath!! We had a whole army of army men under Reed's bed!!

After....
It took the whole family, including Uncle Michael and Pawpaw to put the beds together...but it was SO worth it! Daddy has since built a ladder, but it is not in the picture.

Reed loves being on the top

Even Leo had a little snuggle time in Cade's bed!!

This sweet friend...

is a loving, beautiful, caring, sacrificial, God fearing, prayer warrior who has blessed me greatly in the 8 years I have known her!! She is a wonderful and patient mother and someone who is a wonderful example to me!! She has blessed and dressed Bailey over the last 8 months (inclulding the adorable dress she is wearing in the picture). She has sacrificially loaned her sweet girls wardrobe to us, and though I am sure it won't last forever, it has been an amazing blessing!! Christy, I pray for you and your sweet family every time Bailey wears one of the cute items, like she is today!! Love you friend!!

Nothing makes my heart happier...

Than seeing my family smile!!!
Life has been pretty busy with 3 littles ones home all summer! They have had a good time lovin' on each other and I love seeing their relationships grow!! I love getting loved on by my kiddos, but watching them love on each other is WAY better!!!
Because life has been so busy I am going to just let some pictures warm your heart they way they do mine, and I will try to be better about updating on a more daily basis!!

Soo much love!!

Precious child!!

I love how she is looking at him in this one!

Can't forget about Daddy...the boys still LOVE mowing the yard!!

Bailey has developed quite the "cheese" face! As soon as she sees my camera or phone come out this is what she does!!

Kisses for Daddy!!!!

And boy does she love Daddy kisses!!
