My little baby girl is one! she is growing up so fast! She is already getting the walking thing down. She says a few words and seems to be able to copy more of what we say all of the time. She is smart enough to know where the Cheetos are hidden and knows where to find me. She has a developing personality. She smiles all the time, she's snuggly, and very much a mama's girl. She is getting more curious and excited about the world around her. She is hilarious to watch when she sees and cat or a dog. I love her so much. It is crazy how as we add each child we can't image how our lives ever were before them. I love how she laughs and chases after her big brother and sister and how she squeezes me when I pick her up. I know that this is just the first of many joyful years to come with this beautiful little girl!

So it has been a really long time since I have updated the blog. After talking with my mom this afternoon I figured it is about time to fill anyone who cares in on our lives again. Above are updated fun pics of the kids. A lot has been going on with us. We put our townhouse up for rent in mid Jan. thinking we'd get it out there and then have time to look for a new house but ended up finding a renter two days after we put it up on Craigslist. We quickly cleaned up and moved out. We ended up at Jenny's house the first week of Feb. I'm still trying to figure out if she's ok with it or not. Either way we are now going to be here until the begining to middle of September. After searching for houses for several weeks we ended up deciding to build. They just started this week. A big hole is in the ground.

Caelyn

Caelyn wasn't so sure about the photographer either. She has the cutest huge smile and dimple but she didn't feel like showing them. At least she was happy and we got a couple of grins. She is ADORABLE!

Carter

It took a little bit for Carter to warm up to the photographer but we got some good Carter looks. If you look close in one of the pictures you can see his boogers. That is kid of a permanent deal with him.

Charly

Charly is our diva and had a blast taking pictures. She tells me all the time that she is going to be singer and be on the cover of a magazine.

Catching up on Pictures of the kids

I broke down for the first time ever and went somewhere to get pictures done. We went to Target and they did an awesome job for not very much money.

The new Y

Having fun at the All Staff Rally!
Carter so waisted from the long days that he can't make it through lunch.

Lindsay and me taking a break from packing at the old Y.

This is how small the infant area was at the old Y.

This is jus the infant area at the new Y and this is what it looked like 2 days before we were supposed to be open for business. AHHH!

So with all of the craziness of the last couple of weeks I managed to carry my camera around to take a few pictures.
