One Year Pics

We took Ivy to get her one year portraits done this past weekend at Portrait innovations. She did a great job but did show her attitude a few times. The photographer got a kick out of her, the way she could turn it on and off so fast.

Ivy- One year!!

Walker - Two months away from being 6 years old!

Reese 2 1/2 years old!

So sweet!!!

Reese's new Jeep

I found Reese a Barbie Jeep at a consignment sale this week for a great deal. It was suppose to be for her birthday but me and Wayne couldn't wait. Her birthday is not till August and we wanted her to enjoy it during the summer. She loved it. I wish I had a picture of her eyes when she saw it. They were as big as her head!

Ivy enjoys riding it too. Only bad thing is that it doesn't have a set belt, so Ivy hits the dash every once in a while when Reese isn't driving smooth.

Now Walker has someone to chase!!

Leprechaun trap

Happy St. Patrick's Day! All month there has been a Leprechaun sneaking around Walker's Classroom at school. He would turn over chairs and the trash and make big messes. So each child had to make a trap to bring in to catch him. We took it to school Wednesday in hopes to trap him overnight and have him Thursday. Well he came through messed with all the traps and left hand and footprints everywhere, but was never trapped. He is a sneaky little thing.

Walker wants to set the trap up at our house but I told him I did not want a Leprechaun anywhere around here.

Nana and Paw Paw

Nana and Paw Paw were here last weekend. The kids loved seeing them.

Paw Paw tought walker how to play table football.

Doctors appt!

Ivy went yesterday for her one year check up and she passed with flying colors. In the past she has failed her gross motor development each time but not this time. We are so proud of her. She is doing almost everything she is suppose to be doing.

Ivy now weighs 18 lbs 10 oz and is 45 in long.

20% for weight and 75% for Height! (long and skinny)

Ivy's Party

We had Ivy's first birthday party this past weekend. The theme was Bumblebees! Everything was black, white, and yellow. It was just our family with my mom and dad and we had a great time. Walker and Reese enjoyed blowing out the candle but Ivy would not touch her cake. She did take the bee off the top and tried to eat it.

Happy Birthday Bug!!

Ma and Papa skyped in for the party...

Soccer

Walker started his third season of soccer. It is neat to see him and his teammates improve every season. Today Walker scored his 1st Goal!!! We were so excited and so was Walker!

I actually got his goal on video. I never video with my camera but did it and he scored.
So exciting !!!

Birthday Girl

Ivy is one years old Today!! I can't believe it. Wayne took her to breakfast this morning at McDonald's and shared some oatmeal. My parents are coming into town tonight so we are going to have a birthday party this weekend. Can't wait!!

At one years old she is:

pulling up, crawling, eating table food, still loves her bottle, has 6 teeth, says mommy and daddy, likes sunglasses, loves to play in the toilet, loves to swing outside, still loves attention and is very loved by her big sister and brother.

Cows and Carrots!

Saturday for some reason the cows in our back yard all lined up and watched us for a while as we were outside playing. I guess they thought it was there turn to watch us since we are always watching them. I enjoy watching them play, eat, and even give birth but I don't enjoy the terrible smell or all the flies they bring.

Wayne and the kids were trying to feed carrots to the one horse among the cows.

Walker didn't want to share...he loves carrots!

Sisters

We have enjoyed a couple of warmer days around here after such a cold winter. Saturday we spent a couple of hours outside enjoying the weather. I am always trying to take good pictures with my new Nikon camera but as you can tell I am not very good at it.

or maybe it is what I am trying to take pictures of...

just kidding...I love that face!!

Sister love!

Sweet Ivy bug...she will be one year next week!!
