Sweet Baby


Olivia has started to recognize us, our voices, and her name.  She grins so big when I say her name!  It is the cutest thing and just melts my heart.  I tried to catch it on video.  I wasn't able to get any of her really big grins but I still got a few little ones in the video.  She is already growing up so fast!  She slept from 9:30 pm to 5:00 am the other night.  The way she has slept at night has really been helpful! What a little Angel!

Haircuts!

We got new haircuts!!!  It's always fun to change things up!  I think the girls' cuts look absolutely adorable on them!















Olivia's little old man hair!  Haha!  She's so stinking cute and we love her so much!







Sisters!!!



Coop must have been feeling left out because he said, "Me! Me!" and grinned all big at the camera!  What a handsome boy!!!



McKinlays!!!

Heidi, Brandon, and Oakley got to visit us for a week and we had so much fun!!!  It was rainy and wet the whole time so we didn't get to play outside much but we still had fun with family!!!  Heidi did the kids' hair so cute!







Lindsey had on a different pair of pajamas but when she saw Oakley in a pair she has too she ran and changed so that they could match!  Adorable cousins!!!



We went to Bridge Street Town Center (an outdoor mall thing with a theatre, paddle boats, carousel, etc.) because there was supposed to be a cute little train that we could ride on but the man who runs it never showed up.  We asked at the information desk and they said he should have been there but they didn't have a phone number to contact him so we just walked around.










We decided to eat lunch at Red Robin and then go check out the Children's Museum.















The kids loved the museum but I think all of us "adults" were worn out ... especially since Lindsey peed her pants and we brought extra pants and underwear but not socks and shoes and she soaked those.  She just played barefoot the rest of the time and I was worried that we would get sick from all the germs.

Poor Heidi had a migraine and we had given Olivia a bottle and when we got home she wouldn't stop puking.  We tried a bottle again the other day with sensitive formula and bottled water and she still threw up.  Hopefully we can find a formula that works for her because I am not planning on nursing her for a whole year!  No thank you!

Poor Little Oakley's system was messed up and the one day they played outside she slipped and fell off the ladder to our playhouse and got a goose-egg and scraped nose.  I felt so bad! Cute little darling!

Brandon and Heidi spoiled us rotten by buying all our groceries TWICE and they bought cookie mixes and made them with the kids.  Thanks for everything you guys!








My babies with their cute cousin Oakley!!!






Heidi also bought us all matching outfits for family pictures and she shipped her photography things to our house so that she could do our family photos and Olivia's newborn pictures.  Thank you so much Heidi!  So far the ones I've seen on facebook are AMAZING!!!  I can't wait to get them all and post them on the blog and update the frames on my wall!  Thanks for everything you all did for us!  We miss you so much!

After we waved goodbye out our front door when they were leaving, Lindsey's eyes welled up with tears and she said in a quiet little voice, "Will they come back?"  She said it like three times.  It broke my heart!  I told her they would come back some day.  We like Alabama but we sure miss everyone!
