Devin holding her after she was plucked out

:)

She is perfect.....

Her first bath and check up by our favorite

nurse Karen

(She was our nurse when we had Trey & when 

we saw her, we requested to have her again)

The kids watching Ashley get her first bath

Our first family photo

The kids are so smitten with their new sister

I love watching them love on her

Trey is the cutest with her.

he says "my baby Ashley" and tells everyone

he sees all about her

Just look at that smile, he can't get enough of her

When Trey was holding her she started to cry a little

so he started singing to her- the only song

he knows is the alphabet song so when he started

singing it to her we all laughed

Seriously, the cutest thing EVER!!!

READY to go home

We are adjusting well and enjoying life as a family of 5

There were so many blessing and answered prayers along the way 

to her being born that we really saw the hand of God leading and 

guiding us every step of the way.  We are so thankful for a healthy, happy baby

and that the kids are adjusting so well to having her around. We couldn't have asked for a better

transition....We pray the transition continues to be smooth.

Fire Man Trey

Trey is going to be a Fireman for 

Halloween and Devin 

has been working hard on perfecting

his costume.

It turned out great ......

It even got T-Man to smile

for a picture which is not an easy task!

:)

I mean,

who wouldn't want him to 

rescue you!

Everyday I'm crafting

This girl spends hours, HOURS, making crafts. Stickers, glue, scissors, crayons, markers......If her mom would let her she would include glitter and more glue. I love her creativeness and desire to create!

Beach

It has been one HOT summer here. It was 96 yesterday so devin and I packed the kids up and headed to the beach. The kids had a great time & to be honest so did I.

Randomness

We are laying low, enjoying life as 

a family of 4....

Crazy to think we will only be that

for ONE.MORE.WEEK

These are from my brother & Nicole's 

wedding back in June

Kaylie has been BEGGING to have her 

training wheels taken off and to learn how

to ride a bike

This morning she was so persistent that

Devin thought he would let her try

Ultimately she couldn't do it

and we didn't have enough time to devote to teaching

her, so he put the training wheels back on but

raised them up

October, after baby, is a good time to 

learn to ride a bike!

Costco has Halloween costumes

and Devin couldn't resist buying the fire fighter

one for Trey.....

and Trey was in HOG HEAVEN

It was 103 today and that boy did not 

take the costume off 

(except to let Kaylie try it on "really quickly")

Trey was SO serious

because, you know, being "fire fighter Trey" is

no laughing matter

:)

I love that the kids love what Daddy does
