Whirlwind weekend

Whew! It is almost 7 am and I just returned from taking Tyler to the airport.

Did not sleep a wink last night. Tyler got in late on Thursday night and we have been ripping and running ever since.

A years worth of catching up is difficult to do in 2 days but we squeezed the most out of those 48 hours that we possibly could.

A good time was had by all, and it was a lot of fun for me to see the joy that the kids brought to each other and how much fun the girls had having their big brother around to wrestle with and chase them.

Enjoy the photos, I am going to try and relax a bit before the girls wake up, I can already hear Maya starting to coo.

Blessings and peace

Maya's 1st Birthday!

What a great day! We had so much fun. 

Aunt Rachel came from NY for her God daughter's big day, and we had a few friends over as well.  Maya's main gift was a shiny red wagon, that you see them in. Also, she has started to take a few (5 or so) steps and daddy got a quick shot of that.

We had pizza, cake, ice cream, swimming, sand, swings and the best part FIREWORKS!!!!

Oh the kids LOVED it.

We got Maya her own Tinkerbell cake that she just kind of picked at. She could take it or leave it.

Ella's first dentist appointment!

Ella Grace had her first checkup today and was a pro! I was so proud of her. It was as if she had done it before, no fears at all. She decided to powder and diaper Katie while I was at the Y and daddy was doing dishes. He thought she was being a little quiet. UH UHHH!!!! :)

Ella likes to tend the tomatoes with daddy, she waters them very carefully, and loves watching them grow.

Had a little fingerpainting fun. With all of the rainstorms mommy is running out of indoor ideas! ? Yeah for the kiddie pool!
