{Jaedyn Lately}

I was taking pictures of Bryn the other day, and decided to snap a few of my growing beauty!  She is blossoming before my eyes.  She is the sweetest daughter, the best helper ever!  She makes my job as a mom much easier!

{3 Months Old}

Our sweet Brynlee Cait is 3 months old!  She is cuter than cute!  She is smiling, cooing, and just generally being cute!  Here are the latest pics of our beauty.

{A final swim at the Lake}

The lake house is under contract and we are closing on it soon.  We went up before it got too cold to swim.  It was Bryn's first time in the water.  She was a champ.  Everyone had fun!!

{Long overdue}

It has been a long time since I've blogged.  I have plenty to blog about, but have been occupied with other things.  Like - selling the Lake House, playing with my kids, selling stuff at the garage sale, buying new furniture for my house, playing Scramble on my phone, going to the gym... the list is endless..   However, my cousin posted a few pictures on Facebook today and I wanted to make sure I saved them.  I don't have a lot of pictures of my mom or of me as a kid, so I love it when he does this!

[This is me and my Uncle Jeff - I am probably about 9 or 10 years old here]

[I love this picture because it has my Mom (top right) and my Grandma - Baha.   My Mom is about 14 or 15 in this picture]

[This picture is an oldie too - my mom is holding the cat.  My guess is she is about 10 in this picture]

I will get back to blogging.  I have a beautiful baby that is growing up so fast and other kids that won't stop either!  I need to document these times so I can look back when I am old and gray!

{Fun Run}

The kids had a PTA fundraiser at school where they tried to raise money and ran laps.  I decided to not ask for any money and gave the teachers gift cards instead.  My gripe with the Fun Run was the school only got 1/2 of what we raised.  The 1/2 went to PTA - I think PTA is great in all, but I really want "my" teacher to have what she needs for "my" kid.  So I opted to just give my teachers gift cards.  The kids still got to participate in the Fun Run, and had a blast.

[the kids were so excited to see Dad!  Poor guy always has to work, but was finally able to come to an event!]

[Bryn hung out and watched the kids run - and napped]

[high-fives!]

{Girls}

Life is just flying by.  I have to remember to stop and take a few pictures with my kids!  I am always on the other side of the lens.

{Ode to the many faces}

This sweet girl smiles at everyone and anything.  However, sometimes I am challenged when trying to get it on camera.  She has many facial expressions!  They make me laugh!!!

{She smiles}

I love when my babies start to smile!  Melts my heart!

{Her Swing}

Bryn is starting to notice things around her more as her eyesight develops.  Lately, it has been the mobile on her swing!

{She talks}

Bryn is starting to get more responsive to us.  She looks back, smiles and almost wants to coo!  We get a few cute sounds out of her.  We are so in love with our Bryn!

{Glued!}

We try not to let the kids watch too much TV.  It's hard sometimes, because it is so quiet when they are all interested in the same show.

{Sisterly Love!}

I love that I finally have two girls!  That my girls will have a sister.  Even if it took 8 years to do!  Jaedyn is so sweet with her little sister!! 

{Reading Books}

I love when I walk into my bedroom to see this.  Landon reading to Tanner!  I love these moments.  They didn't even notice me, and I was able to grab my camera!
