And our little Miss Audrey Marie! Wow has she changed!! She is 7 months old now! She can get where ever she wants to! She can crawl, but prefers to army crawl! Much faster at it! She pulls up to anything she can get her hands on! And LOVES to climb!! She thinks her bouncer seat is a trampoline! She will climb up into it and stand in it(holding the back for support) and jump! She is going to be a monkey! She is our good eater!! She will eat anything you put in front of her, as long as it is real food! Not that crappy baby food! She is almost going to catch her sister! Audrey wieghs 16 pounds and Maya wieghed 23! Not much longer and she may be the younger sister but won't be the little one!! Oh and can't forget! She has 2 teeth!!!

One last photo

I had to add this one last photo of our vacation. One evening before we headed out for dinner we all went out to the beach and took a photo of our family together. I think wes & ryan are being over taking by girls!!! The sun was really bright so it was hard to get a really good picture. But i think it turned out really good together. The whole crew of room 1008! We all had a wonderful vacation!

Just a few more vacation photos

Maya loved the ocean! It took her a little while to get brave enough to go out. but by the last day she was loving the water!!


Maya & Ella turned Sydney & Wes's hill for a sand castle in to thier own slide!! They were having a blast on it. I think Maya was trying to push ella down the "slide"


Maya & Ella with Put Put clubs! This could get interesting!! :)


Our crew of monkeys waiting at the Treasure Ship Restraunt for our table!

More vacation photos

Here are some more photos of our vacation. Maya really enjoyed the beach this year. And she loved being able to play with her cousins all week to. She isn't going to know what to do now that we are back home and she doesn't have the play mates here!



Just a photo of our family at the beach


This is how Audrey spent most of her time on the beach! She took her morning nap out on the beach. She slept so well with the ocean sounds



Maya & Ella wanted to explore the beach so papa took them for a little walk!


Daddy & Maya playing in the sand and Audrey was taking notes so when she gets bigger she can play too!!! :)



Maya & Ella loved sitting in the sand and watching the waves come in and get their little feet wet!! They had a great time playing together.

Our Vacation 09

This summer we decided to take a family vaction to Panama City Beach along with Ryans family, Tiffany's Family and George & Debbie. We stayed in a condo with Ryan and his family and George and Debbie stayed in a condo with Tiffanys family. During the week we took some really good pictures of Ryan & Wes's girls. Maya really enjoyed having them in the room with us and having someone to play with. Every morning she would wake up and run out of our room to find "Wella" as she calls Ella & Nidneys as she calls Sydney. She couldn't come up with Ava's name i think that V gets her so she just called her Wella as well.


This is just a quick shot of the little sandy feet!!


These pictures were taken right before we went out to eat. Holly & I took our girls out to the beach and got a couple photos of them. For having a 3 year old, 2 one year old and a baby they did really well!!!


Another great shot of the girls on the beach


This is just a quick shot of the girls before we headed out to eat! Good thing for fingers, they kept maya & ella sitting still!! :)



We had to get a shot of the daddys and their little girls! We were getting ready to head down to the beach!!

Tumbling

In June we decided to enroll Maya in the tumbling class at Dazzle. She goes for half an hour every week. She has been loving it. She is in a mommy & Me class so it is my time to spend with her with out the baby! She has been doing so well in the class. SHe is learning so much already. During the 4th of July celebration she was able to preform with her class at charlie brown park. She did so well. She got out there and rolled and rolled and rolled! She was just adorable in her little suit! She got the chance to preform again at the clay county fair but it was the day after we returned from florida and she was a little tired still so she wasn't into doing her rolls as much. But she was still just as adorable!


Maya waiting her turn at her tumbling event at the fourth of july!


Doing her rolls with her teachers help.


Doing her rolls all by herself!! Way to go baby girl!!

Our Little Girls are Growing!

Time is going by so fast! It seems like yesterday we were welcoming home our first little girl Maya Grace Ann 6lb 15oz 20in born October 27th 2007.......



Now our 18month old is running around talking up a storm!




She now can say almost 50 words!! She loves to go outside and play on the swing or go for a ride with Daddy on the four wheeler! We are ready for warm weather so we can take her swimming, she loves water! She has found a new favorite show, Curious George! She loves that silly little monkey.


And that 8lb 4 oz 21 1/2 in bundle of joy we brought home on March 14th 2009, Audrey Marie,



is now a little chunk at 10lb 12oz 22 inch.




And boy does she love her food! When it is time to eat she will let you and the nieghbors know! We are now getting the schedule down and we are not seeing the rocking chair before the sun comes up any more! I was so happy when she began to sleep through the night!!!


Wow have our girls grew so much! Maya loves her little sister! She always has to tell the baby bye bye when she goes outside and give her kisses before bed!




She has been a wonderful big sister! She knows that she has to be quiet when she goes to her bed at night cause the baby is in there sleeping. We couldn't of asked for a better big sister! We are enjoying the loving now, soon she will be yelling Audrey took my toy!!

This is Maya's new ride!! Just like daddys, but pink & little!!!


Off to Grandpa & Grandmas to feed the cats!!! If we could only figure out witch way to go!!!


Well that is our update on how our little girls have grown!

our little princess

I got a little behind on these pictures!! We did this pageant right before Audrey was born so we've been kinda busy!! But here they are.. Maya competed against 8 little beauties at this local pre-lim pageant! Maya got first runner up!!! We were so proud of our little princess. She got up on stage and was a little ham! We can't wait for her next pageant.


Waiting for crowning.

after we were all done

Easter

Easter Morning Maya found hers and Audrey's Easter baskets! And loved pulling everything out of both of the baskets! Then she found all her Easter eggs that were hiding around the house! She loved hunting the eggs. Of course Audrey slept through the whole event, but we did take a few photos of her with her basket. She looks so trilled...



Audrey & Maya with their Easter Baskets!


Maya seeing witch basket she liked better!! She helped herself to Audreys too!!


Hunting for the hidden eggs Easter Morning


We decided to try the coloring of eggs this year with Maya and she caught on really quick and loved it. She was very upset when there where no more eggs to throw into the color!! We ended up with a dozen very colorful eggs, some got colored a few times and some ended up very cracked after being thrown into the bowls!!




This is maya trying to put the egg into the bowl gently!


The finished product she was so proud of her eggs!!


And then of course we had to put a few shots of the girls in their Easter Dresses! I was so happy to find matching dresses for them!! Of course with a 18 month old and 4 week old it is hard to get a good shot of both of them at the same time!


Isn't she just so sweet! She loves giving Audrey kisses!!



Maya wouldn't look at the camera for anything so we just got shots of her looking everywher else!


Audrey would much rather be sleeping!

On Easter we spent some time with the Rineharts while they were here from Alabama! They kids all had so much fun playing together. We had an Easter Egg hunt for the kids and to make it a little fair, we had Maya & Ella hunt together, Syd Bay & Jax hunt together and we let Ava have her own area. They all had a blast!


Hunting Easter Eggs at the Farm!


While Ella and Maya were hunting their eggs the older four got a little bored with waiting and decided to climb the tree!! What a great picture idea though!!!

Finally Spring??!!??

Finally a few nice days!! And we took full advantage of them! Maya loves being outside so we took a nice walk and played outside on the new play set! Afterwards, both girls took a nice LONG nap!! And Mommy got to relax!



Audrey & Maya enjoying the nice stroll!!



Maya swinging on her new swing set!

What a big girl! Going down the slide all by herself!


And of course we have to put a picture of Maya after her little accident! She fell off the steps on the the sidewalk and ended up with a black eye and lots of little scratches! Poor girl she looks misrable!



Maya after she fell!
