Happy Easter!

We just got back from one of the best Easter's we have had! The kids and I left a few days early to spend some extra time with my Grandma Alice - who is the most amazing woman I know. She is a woman who lives by her faith, she loves her family and can make you feel like the most important person in her life. She is one of kind and I am so thankful and feel so privledged to be one of her many grandchildren!
Brady was able to attend the Florence Easter egg hunt on Saturday and then Sunday we woke up to his Easter basket that the Easer Bunny left. We had a great breakfast and then went to church with my grandma. After church we went back to her house and started putting together dinner. We had such a great time with Uncle Lynn, Aunt Mary and Cousin Laura! There never is a dull moment between the kids, my dad, aunt Mary and the knowledge and wisdom of uncle Lynn! Thank you for making this such a memorable Easter you guys! We love you!

Easter Dinner at Grandma's!

I just thought her eyes were so BLUE in this picture.

Couldn't resist!

Alright. I was feeling guilty that I didn't post a picture with my last update - so here is one of Kayley, Brady wasn't in the mood for a photo shoot!

Kayley's 9 month appointment

Nine Months! WOW! CRAZY! Well, I don't have a picture of her today - but she just is doing so great! The doctor said, although small, she is strong, healthy, flirty, absolutley no personality (input sarcasm here!), and just ready to be ONE! He skipped the nine month talk with me and went right on into what he advises parents of one year olds at this stage. Not walking yet, but she is such a cruizer on her knees and just needs a bit more balance and then she will be off and running! She walks along furniture and can walk on her own when she has a finger to attach herself to. No teeth yet! I keep laughing at myself because every little runny nose she gets - every little bit of fussiness I always blame it on "TEETHING" - but there are yet to be any teeth. So eventually those will come. In the meantime, blame it on the teeth!
We are starting to see her sign to us - well, I guess it's just one word - "more", which can be a very useful sign. Brady is having fun signing to her, "more food please". Such a great brother when it comes down to it all. Still having issues with "MY toys", and "SHE is getting my things", but I suppose that comes along with the territory.
All in all, life is so great with these two. We are absolutley loving the great weather we are having today and we look forward to such a fun summer, filled with new adventures, friends, family, and many good times! AHH, the sunshine brings a whole new refreshment to life!
We will leave you with the 9 month stats!
Kayley is a whopping 13 pounds 13 ounces and measures in at 26 inches "tall".
OKAY, so not a whopper and not tall by any means, but she is healthy and that's what counts!
Happy Easter!
