Our Third Spring Birthday!!!

Our little man turned 5 on May 18th!

Can you believe I planned this madness

with all their birthdays so close together?

What was I thinking?

Don't get me wrong Spring Birthdays are

great, but all of them so close together.

I need a good year to recover from all

the birthday cake I've eaten!

I instantly fell in love with his sweet dimples.



As I was looking through Carter's baby

book to find some pictures, I got so

wrapped up in the emotion I felt before

and after his surgery.

I am so grateful for what this little

guy taught me. This was one

of those refining moments that pushed

me up against my worst fears and taught

me to pray.

I am so glad I have this little boy in my life

to teach me about guns, swords, cars, helicopters,

and my favorite how to burp at each meal.

He adds an important spice to our family.

I love you Carter!!!!!

Yep you guessed it!

All on her own Kennedy came up with

the idea to donate her hair.

I procrastinated for several weeks thinking

she might change her mind, but every time I talked

to her about it she would get so excited!

JaCoy encouraged her by telling her she would

cut hers too.

It was fun but I had the worst nervous gas the whole time.

Soooo cute!!!

I've had a ton of fun trying new hair styles

every day!

But even more awesome is how she keeps

reminding me we have to send her hair off

quick!

She seems to be feeling the greatest part

of giving a gift!!!!

Our Second Spring Birthday!!

Hard to believe I know,

Addison turned 1 on April 30th!

Not only does she have the sweetest face,

but some serious personality.

Just the other morning Carter was laying on the

floor watching a little TV and I could hear him giggling,

"Mom help" he said.

I walked in the room just in time to see Addison

backing up to sit right down on Carters tummy

then she proceeds to bounce up and down on him.

The more he giggled the more she bounced.

Something in her face lights up when Carter

is around.

I love it!

This is what we call her hippopotamus face.
Anytime food is involved this is what she does until
we put it in her mouth.

She'll even do it to strangers, she doesn't seem to
care just as long as she can get a taste.

I'm not going to lie, baby #3 has turned my
world upside down in so many ways, but
I can't imagine it any other way.
Addison you definatly add so much

spice to our family!

We love you!
