Congratulations Lorinda and Aaron!

My Cousin Lorinda and her husband Aaron welcomed Lane Benjamin Gibbs at 9:08 this evening, weighing in at 7lbs, 11ozs and 21inches! We are so excited to meet him!! Babies..Babies Babies...

Tay Celebrates 10!

Taylor is turning '10'...and she invited 5 of her best friends over for pizza, crafts and a trip to the movie theatre to see "Nim's Island"! Oh the stories I heard around this table today.... "dude" to be 10 again....
Tay was so excited to have Myka here...Myka had been sick all week! What a fun gift card and lip balm from Justice (Tay's fave!)
Taylor..with Ashlee and her new (webkinz)Siamese cat...Cupcake.

It was 40 degrees and freezing rain but, there was no stopping these girls from getting outside for tag, kickball and of course the trampoline!

Ashlee, Taylor, Lexi, Taylor K., Myka and Annika...Singing Happy Birthday and excited for Birthday cookie and ice cream...I don't know where they put it after the pizza, chips and candy!

A Taste of the Good Life......

The Trampoline is BACK! Thank goodness for the nice temps and sunshine....
Say Goodbye to those nice, quiet, pre-planned and Nutritional dinners and Hello..to please just stop jumping for 5 minutes to eat something! Hailey had her chips and she wasn't coming off...
Nick and Kate frolicking through the grass that last year they would not even crawl thru...
Katie says "Don't worry Jason...Amy taught me how to keep my mowing lines perfectly straight"!
A Bubblicious day.....
Kate loved this "fur real" panda as she drifted off to a much needed sleep...however, not so much in the middle of the night when she rolled over on it and it started crying and then snoring..Mel found her screaming and clinging to her crib....now, we can't get her near it!!

Poor Ben....he couldn't even stay awake to eat!

Cheese!

Ok-How Stinkin' cute is this? This is Christian (my cousin in Florida) and Jennifer's Daughter Rylee Williams....I think the squinty eyes are definately a "Williams Trait"! Hope these photos make you smile like they did me on this rainy day!!

Hailey and her family went for a walk a couple of nights ago and it started to rain...my children must be able to sense them b/c as soon as they went by our house they were out the door.....Mel captured all their "look out when we get older" smiles!!
