We're Baaaack...

So it has been 6 months since I have posted anything...and in case you didn't notice I had to change the title to my little blog because..
 We had a BABY..a baby boy in fact.  His name is Braden and he is about the cutest thing ever.  Let me catch you up..

First Born

1 month

2 months

3 months

  4 months

A few more:

We also took Bailey and Braden to a photographer when Braden was 10 days old.  At the moment I can't find the disc with all of those pictures:(  But when I do I will post those, they are really good!

Bailey is the best big sister.  I'm pretty sure there is no one on the planet that she loves more than her baby bro.  The first time she met him she immediately started singing twinkle twinkle little star to him..and it has been non stop hugs, baby talk, and lots of kisses ever since.

Fast Forward to now:

Can you believe how big he is!!??  I can't..I swear he's going to be bigger than Bailey by one year and Bailey is not going to be happy about it:)



Our precious pup Fletcher passed away in May.  He was the most amazing and sweetest dog, and anyone who ever met him would agree.  He was my first baby and we miss him so much.  He was with us since before we got married, when we moved into our first house, and with us when we had both of our babies..losing him has been so sad..he was truly my best bud and it is so hard to come home and have him not be there.  He put up with all of the craziness in our lives like starting a business and us having less time for him and then having two kids and having even less time for him.  He was the best big brother to Bailey and didn't mind when she dressed him up and put necklaces or princess crowns on him or chased him around with her baby stroller.  He didn't mind being tripped over or stepped on when Bailey was trying out her new gymnastics flip or dance move.  No matter what he loved us and was his happiest when he was just at home relaxing and snoozing next to his family.  Oh, and he was the handsomest boy ever I should also add.  Love you Fletcher.  Hope you have been getting your balloons Bailey has been sending you up in Heaven.

We thought about selling  our house..
We found a house we loved and wanted to move only if we could sell our house and move into that house.  About a week after we got our house on the market the house we wanted sold...here are some pictures from the ad for our house..I thought it looked pretty nice:)

So now that we are staying here for a while we have some big plans for our house (or at least I do, I'm not sure if Matts on board yet:)  First project includes that icky fireplace in the bottom picture!


Bailey had her first dance recital.  It was so fun to watch.  Seriously if you have a baby girl or are having a baby girl (Jen:)  it is definitely something to look forward to!!  They work so hard all year and then the recital comes and they look so cute in their little outfits and they get up on stage and forget almost all of the moves they are supposed to do..and it is about the cutest thing you will ever see in your life. 

 Bailes and her bestie Emma

More to come soon!
