So Big!!!

She is starting to smile and coo. It makes still getting up anywhere from 1-3 times a night worth it! (:
She is still holding on to her red hair...I love it!

Our little girl is not so little anymore. Bailey is getting so big; time is already flying by!

Proud Parents...

Parker is now doing basketball on Saturdays. We are having so much fun watching him. Even Kasidee proudly told grandma how Parker made a basket at his last game. This clip is during the practice on Sat. Parker was so excited to make a basket it was so cute!

Happy Happy Birthday Addison Dear

This was a fun birthday. Addison turned two on Sunday and we did cupcakes and opened a couple presents with just the family. She had so much fun. She LOVED being the center of attention for the day. We are so grateful for her in our family! She adds spice to our crazy lives.

Bailey

Here is one of the pictures we had taken at Kiddie Kandids. They were great.

Pool Day

Waiting...waiting...waiting...
Direct hit!
Addison was happy with to play with the toys and eat all the snacks.
Parker spent the whole hour under water. He is a little fish! He loves to dive under and get the rings or his little torpedo.

We love the frog pool!

Blessing Day

We blessed Bailey this past Sunday so my dad and brother could be in the circle. (Sorry this picture is sideways, I couldn't get it to flip.)
Uncle Brian with Bailey.

Grandpa can't get enough of his new little granddaughter. Addison wouldn't let anyone else hold her for the picture, Bailey was thrilled.

Mark was nervous that he would call her Addison, we have been doing that all week. Luckily she was named Bailey Alice Ward. Good job Mark.

What a good day. We had family and friends there, the spirit was so strong, and we couldn't be happier that Bailey is a part of our family. She is so sweet.

The birthday continues...

Uncle Brian couldn't resist, it looked like too much fun. I don't know how much fun a 2 ft. ride down the slide could be much of a thrill...but whatever floats your boat. (:
YeeeeeeeeHaaaaaaaaaaa!

Happy Birthday #5!

This was before all the kids got there. It got pretty crazy when there were 13 kids fighting over who was next to go down the slide. I was shocked that we didn't have any bumps, bonks, or bruises. They all had so much fun! It was so nice to have Grandma, Grandpa, and Uncle Brian here. Everyone stood out in the hot sun and helped keep everything running smoothly. Parker learned how to jump from the very top and land at the botttom without touching the slide on the way down. My heart skipped a beat the first time he did it.
Addison thoroughly enjoyed our family tradition of Dairy Queen icecream cake. Spoons were optional. (:

I can't believe we have two 5 year olds!!! Parker and Kasidee are getting so big! We love them so much!

Tennis anyone?

Kasidee giving Mark high-fives...she finally got the ball over the net!!!
Addison was just happy to collect all the tennis balls and put them in the bag.
Parker thought we were golfing, not playing tennis. (:
Bailey was happy in her car seat in the stroller. We were only able to play for 20 minutes, it was pretty hot, but we had lots of fun!
