It's my party and I'll cry if I want too!

We finally got to celebrate Presley's 1st birthday in true "ladybug" style. Too bad she woke up with hand foot mouth! At first I just thought she was teething...she was fussy and drooling. Once the party got started I noticed she had little blisters on her lips. Then I saw her tongue. OUCH! Let's just say, she did remarkable for having a mouth full of ulcers.

Preparty with Nana, she held the hairbrush for a majority of the day. Diva.
Her special sparkle converse!

In love

As you all know, Logan is quite the little love bird. Over the past month, he has been head over heels for a new girl at preschool named Ella. (She has a best friend named Lea so everything is Elwa and Weah).

At first it was cute, he would mention her after school and tell me how she played with him and this and that...then I realized he was so happy in the mornings and over the weekend has started wondering when he'd go back to school, then I realized one morning that he was wanting to see Ella. Last week he got new Spiderman shoes that light up (Gasp, I know...but don't knock themed shoes until you have a three year old to dress each morning). He was ecstatic to show her and ran in to school and went straight to her and she sort of blew him off. She actually moved on the other side of her friend. He acted like nothing and intently watched the movie...My heart sank...I wanted to go get this little girl and say DO NOT BREAK HIS HEART! HE LOVES YOU!

The next day I noticed she was a little less resistant and yesterday when I picked him up, he was holding her hand.

Yes, he's three and I don't want him in love...but at least now, she loves him back!!!

On the way home I asked him what is Ella's last name. He replied, Ella Sechrist. Wow, he has it so bad...he doesn't even realize it!!!

Single Ladies?

I took these a few weeks ago but couldn't get them to post. I finally uploaded to You tube to share. This is something for their wedding days!!!

Happy Birthday, Caden!

My baby is six! He woke up this morning and measured himself (against his brother)and declared he was, in fact, taller!!!

Caden changed my and Heath's lives forever...Caden has taught us the rewards of loving someone more than life itself. He is an amazing boy, so hungry to learn, to experience life. He is fearless and can be quite compassionate and very spiritual. I just love him so much and thank God everyday for this miracle child!

When Caden was one I was convinced that he was the most beautiful person God had created. I am still a little envious of this hair (now why doesn't my daughter have this hair???)

And at two, his personality was in full gear....A Thomas the Train fanatic and collector!

At three Caden was a full fledge big brother and already a bookworm! His new love, Lightning McQueen.

At Four Caden began Tball and started to expand his collections to anything that was deemed collectable!




Five days before turning five her turned into a big brother (again)!!! He was so excited to share his birthday week with his baby sister.

And today, My little man is so excited to be six!!!





Happy Birthday, Caden!

Happy Birthday Presley Grace!

Presley,

Today you turn 1!!! I can't believe how fast this year has gone and at the same time I can't remember when you were not in our lives. You are the best baby and loved by so many people...especially your two older brothers who simply adore you!

Thank you for being a constant reminder of God's miracle and His plan. Mommy & Daddy love you so much!
