Anabelle loves bath time!


Anabelle loves bath time! She squeals with delight and tries to grab the water! She also has to get some sucks on her fingers and toes in during bath time too I just think it is so cute!

THANK YOU AUNT MARY!


The kids were so excited to get a package in the mail! It was from my Aunt Mary and Aidan got a 3D Buzz shirt and Lily got a skirt for dance class. They both wore them all night and Aidan wore his shirt to bed! (Thanks again Aunt Mary...) We called Aunt Mary because Aidan kept his smiley face which is a big deal!!!! The next day we were driving home from school and out of the blue he says, "Mom, I want to invite Aunt Mary to my birthday party!" I said, "ok...little buddy...we will!" It was so cute!

Brings a smile to my face!


This image made me smile....I had to pull out my camera!

Katelyn visits!


My good friend Pam was up in St. Louis and came over for a visit! It was so good to see her! Katelyn is in remission and it has been so long since we have seen her! Katelyn is doing great and I was glad to see Jacob too! I hope our next visit can be a little longer!

Saturday Soccer Game!



We watched Aidan's soccer game before we headed to the zoo! It was a beautiful day!

A fun weekend at the zoo!

Look how cute Anabelle looks! This was her first time at the zoo!
The giraffes were a big hit!
Tinker....her pants were just a little too big! This made me laugh all day long!

Aidan and lily LOVED the Stingrays! The day we went just happened to be the last day before they go away to their "winter home". We fed and petted them! It was really neat.

Anabelle actually gets her frog spinning on her car seat!

We love the penguins! It is one of our favorites! Lily was especially excited to see some penguins!
Beth and Byron and the kids came up and stayed the weekend! We has so much fun! We went to the zoo, watched Aidan's soccer game and hung out a ton! The kids laughed and played all weekend and I got to spend some time with my sister! It was a great weekend!

Our little soccer player....




We signed Aidan up for soccer! We are so proud of him! The first game he was a little unsure and didn't know what to do but he seems to have the hang of it! We have yet to win a game...much less score a goal but that is ok! Our team forgets which way we are going and we tend to not spend much time at the opponents goal . A few minor kinks but it makes us laugh! "A" for effort and our little guys are trying hard! I am just so proud of Aidan for getting out there. He really seems to like it so far! Keep working hard little buddy!

Anabelle Devaney....5 months old and growing....

This is the first time I put socks on Anabelle and she thought it was hilarioius. She didn't know what to think!
Belle is 5 months old and still wearing this newborn onesie. SO cute and so little!

My smiley girl!



Big brother shows some love!

Aidan wanted to hold Belle all by herself! He did and did a pretty good job! He then said...Hey mom...I think Anabelle thinks I am her daddy! Matt and I just laughed! SO CUTE!
This just melts my heart!


Aidan and Anabelle pose for the camera!

Anabelle's finds her FEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A while ago I posted that it won't be long until Belle finds her feet...well she found them and it is soooo funny! I mean one of the cutest things I love about having a baby is when they are so flexible and love to suck on their own toes! It is just too sweet! Now every time I look at her if she doesn't have her fingers in her mouth she has her toes. It cracks me up! Oh, I just love her so much!

Belle is 5 months old!

Anabelle Devaney is full of tricks! Her newest trick is to lay on her back and grab her feet. Now, she hasn't been able to reach them to put them in her mouth but it is so darn cute. I will get a picture of it soon! Belle continues to talk up a storm and suck on her fingers more than ever. She is so happy and is a pretty good sleeper. She laughs and smiles at the drop of a hat. She loves bath time and now tries to grab my wash rag and put it in her mouth. She is slowly outgrowing some of her outfits but we can still wear a few newborns and 0-3 months. That's ok....she is just a little short right now like her mommy! We have been bed buddies since Matt has been sleeping on the couch due to his knee. I love to lay in bed and look at how darn beautiful she is! She is my miracle and I am reminded of that every day when I see her smile and watch her sleep!

On your mark...get set....ROLL!



I blogged a few weeks ago that I new Anabelle was close to rolling over. Well she did it. She was about 4 1/2 months when she did it. I laid her down and went in her room to get diapers and when I came back she had rolled off the mat. I put her back to see if she could do it again and she did! I clapped and she just laughed! Oh...what great moments!

Belle and Finn!

Belle and Finn hold hands!
Anabelle will hold his hand but she wants to suck in her hand too!

So darn cute!

Cals brought Finn over to visit and hang out with Matt since he had surgery. Finn is a few weeks younger than Belle. We sat them together in the chair and just laughed. They were so cute. Finn kept wanting to hold Belle's hand. Seeing babies together is just one of those things that warms your soul. I mean how could you not just smile!

Tyler's Birthday Bash!

Happy Birthday Tyler! The kids enjoy a drink after they are all sweaty from running around playing!
Lily and Tyler have some fun!

The slide was a big hit!
This was a giant Batman inflateable and Aidan thought it was really cool!

We went to Tyler's birthday party and Jump4Fun! The kids had so much fun! They got to slide, run, bounce and race around! It was a great time had by all!
