Happy 17th birthday, sweet girl!

It's so hard to believe it's been this long. I think about you so often. I know you look over me and my babies everyday. When Quinn's asleep, she looks so much like you, it's crazy! I know you would have been the best aunt, along with your other sisters. Cash and Quinn would love you so much!

I'll see you again! I love you always  :)

-Your big sister

A few randoms...

Braden started Kindergarten this year.

We got to spend two weeks with him during his testing period.

Here are the boys after his first half day!

We had a birthday party to go to at Monkey Joes. Daddy looks thrilled.

Happy Birthday, Jude!  :)

He loved his Spiderman cupcake!

Oh, and we bought a new house! YAY!

Be looking for that post shortly.

...and look what one of our new neighbors brought by! How sweet!

And our lovely neighbors across the street brought a candle that smells oh so good!

Thanks guys!

And...

Our little guy is officially 3! Oh, how time flies!

Here he is eating his birthday dinner.

He for sure is my boy. He asked for Papa John's!

(Be waiting for his party post, only a month late! haha)



Quinn's 1st Haircut

I know the rule is to wait until after their 1st birthday to do a haircut, but I just couldn't. Cash got his first one at 5 months. I waited as long as I could stand it with Q. So, on August 2nd, at 8 months old, she got a trim!

Before:

"I don't mind this at all! Partially because it's all about me!"

Two fresh haircuts...

"Now, you can see my eyes!"



She's been in a phase where she keeps yanking her hair bows out, and I can't handle the hair all in her eyes.

Cash's 1st Sounds game

I'm playing catch up on posts, so bear (bare? you get the picture) with me!

Bud and I love to just spend time with the kids individually. Cash has a love for baseball, so what else would be more fun than taking him to a minor league game! He had fun, even though he hardly paid any attention to the actual game. They had bounce houses and games there, too!

He's ready!

He got to choose his supper - Sonic.

He sure loves his Daddy!

Cash's photography.

My baby and me.

The score right before we left. He was ready to go.

I promise it was more fun than what the pictures looked like! Usually, I have a bunch of camera hogs  :)

Sorry for such bad picture quality.

Note to self: take the big camera. I had bought a small camera to keep in the diaper bag so I didn't have to carry my DSLR everywhere. It's proven to be a big fail.



Checkups

Both of my babies had their checkups today. Honestly, I was worried about taking them both together. Bud was supposed to take off to go with me, but he couldn't fix his work schedule around it, so my mom came with us. Bud was able to stop by for a few, but he had to leave right before shots. (How convenient!) Luckily, Cash got out of there with no shots, just a flu mist!

Cash's 3 year stats:
     Height:  37 3/4" - 50%
     Weight:  34 lbs. - 50%

Quinn's 9 month stats:
     Height: 28" - 75%
     Weight: 21 lbs. 8oz. - 85%

Both growing happy and healthy! We've talked with the doctor and have decided that Cash will need speech therapy :(. He totally understands everything, but he isn't the best at relaying expressively. I'm just glad that we're doing this while he's still young and before he starts kindergarten.

Quinn still has no teeth. Dr. Mary isn't concerned until they don't have any at a year old. I have a feeling all of her teeth may come in at once.

Sorry no pics this post!

Mommy Lovins
