Alayna This was taken when Carl and Ashley got married Aug 16th of 2010! Alayna was a week and a half old here and in the following picture! It is hard for me to remember her so little because she is sure growing fast!
All three of my precious kids together and not fighting! They love Alayna and ask to hold her frequently. I have to ask them to leave her alone most days! These will be treasured pictures because they will grow up all to quickly!


She is four and a half weeks old here along with the previous few with Brayden and Kaytlin. A month already gone! Where did the time go?


Visiting Great-Grandma Doman (4 weeks old)
She treasures our visits each time we go! We are blessed to live nearby so great grandparents can see the kids frequently. I know they enjoy it too!

Visiting Great-Grandpa Dawson (4 weeks old)
He was thrilled to get to hold her. When we told him Alayna was named after Great Grandma Dawson his eyes just sparkled.



She is seven and a half weeks old here! She must be doing good because she has already learned the OK sign! At this point she began focusing on things and staring at us! In this picture I would gather a guess to say Brayden was sitting next to her.


I would have to agree with her shirt here about her being cute! Even cute with her tongue sticking out of her mouth which is most every picture.


All the kids wanted to cuddle with me and I wanted to show off the girls shirts we bought for them. Alayna is six weeks old here, Kaytlin is 2 1/2 years old and Brayden is 6 years old. What do you think, do they get their good looks from me?

The following pictures are from my cell phone but they were so cute I had to include them.

Trying out her new toy... the bumbo chair!


She was just grinning and grinning and giggling at me so i figured I better get a picture of her. I think this was when she was working up to another giggle.


Another picture of the girls in matching shirts. They were both smiling but when the phone camera decided to catch up this is what I got. The looks on both girls is just priceless!

These years are the hardest but will be the best when we look back at these pictures in ten years and laugh!

Navy Blue Angels Air Show
This past weekend the Blue Angels came to town! The show was awesome and I would highly suggest going to see them if they are anywhere near you!
Brayden checking out the cockpit of one of the planes that started the air show off!




Josh and Brayden watching the planes head to or from the run way!



While the show was going on this is what the kids did!




Anyone care to fly upside down?



The wing walker! I would never in a million years ever consider doing this!








These last two pictures were not taken by me! If you want to read more about them go to http://www.blueangels.navy.mil/

Brayden Turns Six

So for Brayden's birthday this year we had a small get together at a nearby park. We invited a few friends and family to join us! I am still finding it hard to believe that my little boy is now six! I love getting creative and trying new things for his birthday cakes. I found a few cute ideas and let him choose which one he would like this year... he must have had baseball on the brain because that is the one he chose! I think it turned out so cute!

Opening gifts was fun! He got some fun new toys and books! In this picture we have Kaytlin and our niece Sydney watching him. At least they were sitting on the cooler with the water balloons in it instead of throwing them.



His biggest gift that was wrapped in a large box from Carl and Ashley below. Everyone was curious as to what it was! They got him some sand box toys! In this picture from left to right we have grandpa Terry, cousin Andruw, school friends Spencer and Carter, Uncle Jared, cousin Cadance, Grandma Sara, Brayden, and Aunt Jennifer.



Brayden trying his new toys out!


While Brayden played with his new toys Kaytlin played with her little tricycle that she is still trying to learn to peddle!


Happy Birthday Brayden! Here is wishing for a very good year!
