Yates Family

So I am just going to put up pictures from the last, oh I don't know, year or so. It has been a long time since I did anything on here because life has kept us busy. Just a quick update: we now have 3 kids. It has kept us busy and a little sleepy.

A hike up to Battlecreek fall. The girls did great and keep asking when we can go again.

Aidie just threw the Frisbee to Mckinley

The girls trying to play Frisbee in our awesome backyard (yes it is all rocks and weeds)

Always posing

Awwwww, cousin time

What can I say

They are best friends (most of the time)

I realized I did not put any pictures from Mckinley's 5th birthday or her preschool graduation. There is really a lot I forgot but those will have to wait for another night because I am tired. At least I did something :)

I am a bad mom and did not take very many pictures of Aidie's birthday party. Needless to say we had lots of little friends and lots of fun. Aidie was such a fantastic birthday girl.

Aidie has been such a blessing in our lives. She is my super sneaky child but she is always so quick to tell me she loves me (I pretend it is because she is really sweet and not because she is trying to get out of trouble). She is such a good sister to Mckinley. I will often catch them playing in the toy room together and I love to hear the games they come up with. There are the occasional fights that have to be broken up but they truly are best friends. Turning 3 was a very big deal for Aidie. It meant she got to be a big girl like Mckinley. She was so excited and could not wait for her big day. I think she is trying to catch Mckinley in age and 3 was one year closer (I love the way these two think).



We love our Little Miss Aidie! Thank you for being such an amazing addition to our family!!!!!

Mckinley is 4!! I cannot believe my little angel is already 4 years old. She has been such a joy and delight in our lives. I feel so blessed to be able to be her mother. She is such a blessing in my life. Mckinley teaches me so much on a daily basis. She is always making me laugh with how smart and perceptive she is. I am so grateful Mckinley chose to be part of our family. I love you!!!!
