Party Like It's Your Birthday

Hadley FINALLY got her own iPod Touch!

Brett belting out "Happy Birthday"

We had a simple celebration today. Just cake and presents but Hadley didn't care because she got her iPod Touch that she has been waiting patiently for since January. She has had it in her hot, little hand all day and I think she has had to recharge the battery at least once! She is having a small party with friends on Thursday so there is still more celebrating to do! YIPPEE!

Nine is Fine!

Happy Birthday Hadley!!!

Today baby girl turns 9!

She definitely keeps life interesting.

Always looking for fun and adventure.

Stubborn and Pigheaded.

Never meets a stranger.

Smart yet Clueless at the same time.

Sweet and Caring.

Sassy.

Has to get the last word in no matter what.

Great at slamming doors.

Always wants to give you a hug.

Can't live without popcorn.

Best 9 year old in the world!

Love You Hadley!

Baseball Buddies

Griffin and Brett have become baseball junkies this summer. Griffin has rekindled his relationship with the sport and Brett is learning to love it for the first time. Griffin has been "coaching" Brett and working with him on his throwing, hitting and catching. He still has some work to do but we are hoping to have him ready for little league in the spring. 

Murphy's New Hangout

Murphy likes to hangout in the laundry basket with or without clothes in it. If there are clothes in it they usually find their way to the floor- that's not so bad if they have not been folded yet but he does occasionally dump out a basket of clean, folded clothes before I have had a chance to put them away-AARGH!!!

Living Large on the Lake

We are fortunate enough to live near a great lake. We don't have a boat or any water toys but the girls begged us to rent a boat for the day and head out to enjoy a day of boating and tubing. Today was a good day especially since it was 103 degrees. We had a grand time and look forward to doing it again in the future. Next time we have to convince Griffin to go!

Passing the Torch

Mom-to-be- Prettiest Pregnant Lady Ever!

 Kalyn's baby shower

I have officially passed my "Fertility Torch" to my younger sister, Kalyn. She is about to enter the world of motherhood as she waits for the arrival of her baby boy in just a few short weeks. We are all soooooo excited to welcome a new member in to our family and we can't wait to get our hands on that little munchkin! I can't wait to get to enjoy a new little guy without having to be sleep deprived- how wonderful for me (sorry Kalyn, I am praying that he is a good sleeper for you)! 

I can't wait to spoil you "Baby M"- counting down the days until you get here!

Love,

Aunt Kelly
