Catching up: Winter/Spring 2014

{Chloe turned 6 this year!  How is that possible?}

{I can't even handle how handsome he was and still is}

{How many hair accessories are too many?!}

{These sisters wearing their matching "Right Meow" tees and pipecleaner bracelets}

{Beautiful blues}

{Grayson's first birthday cake! I baked, Chad decorated (per my instructions), and it turned out perfectly}

{We somehow convinced Gray to wear a party hat!  This was the best we could get of the three of them}

{To say he enjoyed his cake might be an understatement}

-Before I continue with this post, I have to say that I am blown away by how different all three of these littles are now! Love them all so very much-

{Berkley looking pretty as always}

{These girls absolutely loved tumbling!}

{Chloe received the Citizenship Award in her Kindergarten class!  We were and still are so proud of her!}

{Her last day of Kindergarten!}

{And Berkley turned 4!  I am still in denial about this!}

This pretty much sums up spring of this year! 

Be on the lookout for a summer and fall post soon :)

Oh, you know, just a bit from 2013

{Grayson's blessing Day}

{Berkley turned 3 and obviously had to have pink balloons}

{Chloe's preschool graduation day}

{love these three to the moon}

{At 4 months, Grayson had to have tubes put in his ears as he had a moderate hearing loss in one of his ears.  It was scary, but everything turned out perfectly!  Gah! I miss those rolls!)

{Chloe's first day of Kindergarten}

{It was picture day at school, so I figured I'd snap a few before she got on the bus. And I cannot express how happy I was that I did!}

{Grayson at 5 months and happy as can be}

 

{These girls are the best of friends}

{They're my world!}

{I love how straight up fat he looks here!  Give me all the chub}

{6 months}

{peek-a-boo}

{Chloe as a bumblebee on Halloween}

{Berkley as a lollipop fairy and her cute pumpkin}

{The cutest little fox that I ever did see}

{Grayson at 8 months old right after his first Christmas!}

And that sums up (at least in part) 2013!  A 2014 update should be coming soon!

It's only been a little while...

...okay, so it's been a LONG while, but at least we're back!  I've been wanting to get back to this blog for quite a while, and Alan and Christine going on their mission has definitely given us more reason to update sooner than later!

So, it's been 18 months (sort of embarrassing), but that means a lot of things have happened and tons of pictures have been taken!  If you've been following along on facebook or Instagram, these photos will not be new, so I apologize, but there's no other way to bring our lives at least partially up-to-date.

I hope (key word being hope) to update once a week, unless there's absolutely nothing going on (nothing too exciting any way) or more often if there's a lot of fun things to share!  Stay tuned :)

Our life with Gray

In an effort to get all these pictures on the blog, I've decided to combine many of the pictures we've taken of Grayson, so sit back and enjoy snapshots of this little chunky man :)

 {if he looks cold, it's because he was!}

 {he has quite a bit of hair at the crown and back of his head}

 {thanks to Uncle D & Aunt Rhonda for this adorable and very yummy cookie bouquet!}

{the big sisters with their cookies}

 {soooo cute on his first Sunday going to church}

 {Berk loves her little brother so much}

 {Chloe is like a mini Mom to little Gray}

 {the little brother with beautiful blue eyes}

 {super Grayson! up, up, and away!}

 {love, love, love his cheeks}

 {so not happy about me putting him in the girls' (formerly me and Mike's) baby cradle with his stellar blanket compliments of his Aunt Tric}

 {so, so sweet!}

 {Chloe is growing up!  She registered for Kindergarten and even got to ride the bus on her Kindergarten screening day!  And you're seeing it right, she even lost a tooth!  It's been loose forever, and on the way home from registration she says, "Ugh, my tooth fell out." I asked her if she swallowed it, which she hadn't, but she was still disgusted that it fell out.  I asked, "Your tooth fell out... you know what that means...?" To which she responded with much excitement, "My tooth fell out!  My tooth fell out! The tooth fairy's gonna come!"}

{my three babies}

Life has been a bit crazy, but we sure love having Grayson around.  Chloe tells me at least every other day that she's so glad he came to live with us :)
