Happy 1st Birthday!!!

Happy 1st Birthday Hannah, Aiden, and Olivia! Wow, how a year can fly by. A year ago today we were so excited that we were finally going to meet our three precious miracles. We had prayed and waited a long time for you all. It was a bumpy road getting you all here but I would go through it all over again in a second. What a joy you three have been to watch grow. Hannah, you were the smallest one and you have grown into the role of the oldest sister. Our little drama queen with her beautiful blue eyes, squeezable cheeks, cute smiles, and oh that crazy hair. Aiden, even though you were born second we know that you will protect your sisters with your life. Our little screamer with so many cute smiles, beautiful blue/green eyes, enjoyable laugh, and our mama's boy. Olivia, our always on the go girl, beautiful blue eyes with blonde hair, always happily smiling, cute dimples, and very intrigued. We all look forward to so many more memories with all three of you.

Thank you God for one of the best gifts in the world. Thank you for entrusting us with these three precious children. We will raise them to know who created them and how much you love them. We will protect them to our best ability.

My sister's non profit organization

Family and Friends,

With excitement and pride I'm pleased to announce to you a non profit endeavour two friends and I have begun. As a result of a personal encounter experienced the first of this school year, "Supplying Smiles" was birthed. Please click on to our website, read our story and seriously consider joining our heartfelt efforts in this outreach to support the precious school children in our area. We know you will agree that every child should begin his/her year with a
SMILE!

Thank you in advance for your support as we begin this exciting cause!

Lots to update

Well, everyone now has their bottom two teeth. Hannah was the last to get them and they finally broke through two weeks ago. Hannah is pulling up to her knees and bending her legs to scootch around. Aiden just started crawling on Sunday. We are so proud of him. I was so excited that Dustin was at home to see it. Aiden is also holding his bottle on his own. Even one handed. The girls can hold their bottle but they prefer to play with it. They still want mommy and daddy to hold it for them when they eat. Olivia is a crawling fool now. It is amazing at how quickly they learn how to do things. She loves to pull herself up and stand. She started cruising along the couch this weekend. It's funny to watch the other two just looking at her. 'Hey, how are you doing that?' I think it helps motivate them to get their groove on.


Is this how it goes Mommy?

Drink with one hand and play with the other.

I love to stand!

Family Visit

Melanie helped out a lot with the kiddos when she wasn't working. It gave us a chance to get reconnected. I miss our weekly talks so much. She brought Kasey and Hanna over to visit. This was Kasey's first time to meet them.

First Restaurant Trip

We had our first restaurant trip about a month ago. Some of our good friends were brave enough to go out with us. Here are a few pictures of our trip.
