Saylor's 4 months!

 We love that little face

 I LOVE the bloomers that she has!  It's her initials in light pink :)  She also has a few that say her name.  So cute.

 First time in her bouncer!  Aidan and Roman LOVED this thing, and I loved it too because they'd be preoccupied for hours! 

Our sweet Saylor girl is 4 months!  She is starting to make noises and "talk" to you and she loves to blow raspberries.  She is a major drooler, but no teeth yet.  She has discovered her feet and she loves to grab them!  She also loves sucking on her 2 fingers when her pacy falls out.  It's nice because in the middle of the night if her pacy comes out, she doesn't cry...she just finds those fingers and is happy.  She is SMILING now and she'll laugh too!!  I love her smile and her sweet, sweet laugh.  Hearing our children laugh and giggle is one of the best sounds in the entire world to me.  It makes my heart smile in an indescribable way.  She's great on her tummy and started to roll over from her tummy to her back!  She's an excellent eater...so far she's only had breastmilk, but we'll start cereal soon.  I'm so thankful that I've been able to produce enough milk for her. I have so much stored up in our freezer that it makes it really easy for me to get away when I get the opportunity without worrying about getting back in time to feed her. 

Overall, she is one easy baby.  We've been extremely blessed with 3 beautiful children and 3 easy babies, but she may be the easiest of all.  So far she's very laid back, very patient and an excellent sleeper (thank you Jesus!).  She is such a blessing to us and these past 4 months have been so fun!  God is so good.

Memorial Day 2012

This year for Memorial Day we had both sides of our family up at the lake house for a cookout and lake fun!  It was so great to be able to spend the whole day together.

 The "Cathy's" in the kitchen!  This picture makes me laugh :)

 The men grilling out

 Aidan and Roman found a new fun game with Seesha and Uncle Tommy...it's called "throw me as high as you can onto the couch"

 This game went on for about 30 minutes!

 Good ol' American hamburgers and hotdogs for Memorial Day

 Seesha and the boys playing "patty cake, patty cake, bakers man"

 Roman wasn't a huge fan of the water (not yet anyway!), but he LOVED pushing people in!

 Aidan, on the other hand, swam, jumped off the "yacht" and tubed for about 8 hours straight!

 Sunbathing on the Yacht

 Aidan surprised all of us when he wanted to jump off the top of the yacht into the water!  It's a good 10 foot jump!  At first he went with Daddy...

 and loved it!  Eventually he was jumping off all by himself!

 Tommy jumping...

 Mike diving...

 Romie watching...

 and "Biggie" jumping off by himself!  He's a little dare devil when it comes to water sports!  He'll be wakeboarding, surfing and skiing by the end of summer!  We can already check tubing off the list :)

 My sweet Romie!  Cathy Dupree was up at the cabin with Saylor while she napped...but she really didn't want to see everyone jumping off the yacht because it freaks her out! :)

 Take 1: Normal

 Take 2: Abnormal haha!  I LOVE THIS PICTURE!!

 Uncle Tommy, Aidan, me, Seesha & my hubby all about to jump off the yacht

 Nana and her mini-me :)

 I love my sweet Aidan

 Pappy and Aidan swimming during our boat ride!  Aidan liked when Pappy would throw him!

 I. LOVE. THAT. SWEET. FACE!

 Could she be any cuter?  It's so fun having a girl!

 Let the tubing begin!  This is tube ride #2 for the day.  Aidan was a swimming/tubing MACHINE.

 Bethany! 

Kyle & Bethany made it up for the last part of the day after they both got off work! 

We had an awesome day as a big family and I loved every second.  I am so thankful that both sides of my family love hanging out with each other!  It's so fun to get everyone together (the only person missing was Emily, who was in NYC with friends), and we had a great time swimming and playing on the boat.  Aidan will be flipping on a wakeboard soon haha!  Roman warmed up to it at the end, and I'm sure by the end of summer he'll be right up there with Biggie!  But most of all, I am so appreicative and thankful for all the men and women who gave up their lives and sacrificed SO MUCH for the freedom of our country.  We live in a blessed....and I mean blessed....nation and that wouldn't be the case if we didn't have honorable men and women fighting for us and protecting us.  We owe them AND their families so much more than we can give.  God is so good, so faithful, and so worth ALL THE GLORY!

Circus!

 In April of this year my mom and dad took Aidan & Roman to the local Circus for a day with Nana & Pappy! 

 They loaded them up with ice cream, popcorn, candy...you name it!

 Aidan riding the Dumbo ride!  My mom told me that Roman was to short to ride this ride, but he was so sweet and just stood next to Nana while Biggie went around on the ride.  Next year Romie!

 Those boys love their trains

Apparently Aidan was super excited to meet a real, live motorcycle guy!  Poor Aidan, mommy will be WAY too scared to let you ever ride one of those!! 

The boys came home with treasures in their hands and on a major sugar high!  They loved their fun day with Nana & Pappy :)
