Kerrin and Piper

Kerrin got to be the first of the kids to meet Piper. She came to the hospital only about 40 min. after Piper was born, with Yaya and Pa. Kerrin was tearing up as she took her new little sister in her arms!

Giggling Girls!!

This is so typical of our two youngest girls. We are always saying that they are two peas in a pod. They have their moments of fighting with each other, but the rest of the time they are like this with each other! Enjoy! I sure did as I watched them!

New things going on at our house!

Mason with face paint on beside his newly completed lego dragon and catapult!
He was pretty excited to get it finished! Mommy put in some serious help time to this little project! He loves it though!
Nadia had been playing in the bouncy castle with her siblings and they all came up and she did not. I figured she was jumping a little longer and came down the stairs to find her like this!

I couldn't believe it! Sleepyhead!
Nadia is showing off her sisters' newly painted room!

This was my week before school started project!

This will be Livi and "P" baby's room!

Brandon calls it the carousel room.
The first day of school! They are standing in their school room! Pencils in hand!
Kerrin is in 3rd grade and Mason is in kindergarten!

I can't believe they are that big already!!!

Joel and Brittany's Wedding!

Joel, my little brother got married on Aug. 8 in Dallas, TX. He and his new wife Brittany are going to be out in Idaho finishing school for the next two years or so. We get to have them around for a few days here in Ohio before they have to make the trek back out to school.

Well Joel's eyes are closed in this picture, but I love the look on Brittany's face!
Smell the flowers, please!
My new sister-in-law! She is the first sister-in-law in the family!
My cute little niece, Lilly and her beautiful mommy my sister Liana!
"OOOHHhhh!" says Lilly
Lilly liked the umbrella that aunt Brittany had.
The umbrella helped keep the sun off a bit, but it was more for a cute picture than anything else, and as you can see by Joel blotting his face with a towel, it was a little hot!
Oh, my itchy nose!
