Katie's Blessing is Sunday!

Here's my pretty girl in her blessing dress! I took some pics early for fun! Here she is getting ready... Here she is giving her 'reflective smile.'
Here she is so you can see her entire gown. Isn't it gorgeous?! (Thanks Val!!) It fits her perfectly!
Here's another shot of Katie in her cute hat. I can't get enough of this little lady! Logan is the one I call if I need Katie to smile! :-) His kisses just bring smiles out of her almost every time! :-) She sure is lucky to have such awesome big brothers!!

Katie Poses in her Pretty Dresses

How sweet is this face?! :-) I just love this little girl!

Katie's learning to sit in the bumbo chair... Here she is cute as a button all ready for church!

Goodbye September

So glad I had the camera close to catch this: Tyler's still learning how to pump his legs on the swing, so he has a hard time getting going. Logan had grabbed Tyler's swing and began swinging so Tyler would get started too. Tyler was so happy- he said, "thank you, Gogey (Logey), swing high!"
Here are the kiddies!
It's soooo chilly in the mornings now! Here are Logan and Ty cuddling up on the couch to get warm.
And what's more fun than a bath?! These two love splashing in the tub...and out of the tub...and each other.....and me...

Good Friends

All the kiddos jumping in together!
Tyler making a 'skinny tummy.'
Katie with her pretty bracelet! (Lacee and I made her so many cute ones!!

The rest of the Mexico pics

Here are all the kiddies living it up on the couch watching tv and waiting to go swimming! :-) Check out Charly's face- it's my fave!! (She's second from the right)
Our first time at Paradise Bread- yummmmmm!!! What a fabulous trip. Thanks Rich & Lacee!!
Cute Baby Girl!
The guy in the back is James. The guy in the front is some random guy who decided to give James some competition in catching the football he and Rich were throwing. The funny part was that this guy kind of came out of nowhere and then kept getting all up in James' space- see pic above- he even put a huge scratch on James' back with his wicked long nails. James isn't one to get all annoyed and tell the guy to go away, but I could tell he was holding back!! :-) It sure was funny to those of us watching!
Laura, Katie, me, and Lacee. I love you girls!!!

Tired of Mexico yet?

Thanks for an amazing trip, Honey! If you didn't work so hard, we couldn't have enjoyed such an awesome trip. It was worth the wait! (How hot is James with a beard? I was loving it!!)

Love these blue eyes!
Monster faces kept us entertained when we got locked out of our room.
Most of our crew at a late night swim.

My Little Monkey

Tyler LOVES this song! He learned it at church and sings it all the time. He's a bit shy here, but you get the idea. :-) The hand motions are my favorite...nah- it's that sweet face!!
