Our beautiful ballerina butterfly

Friday night Brooklyn had her ballet recital.  It is amazing what a difference a year makes!

Last year she had a small case of stage fright.  But this year she showed off her skills!

She was a butterfly for this years peformance.

After her big debut.  All smiles!

She got a couple sets of flowers! As any true dancer should!

What a cutie!

What a big girl!!

Daddy was unable to go as he had to be at work for the spring football game.  But she still had an audience of Mommy, Grandpa Vince, Grandma Mary, Great Grandma Kingsley, and Aun Ru.  And we did go surprise daddy afterwards so he could see how beautiful she was!  And we topped off the night by getting milkshakes on our way home!!  (Thanks to Grandma Iowa since she couldn't be there!)  Brooklyn did a great job!  So proud of her!! 

My babies...

Aren't babies anymore...

Raegan is growing up by the day!  She has started crawling in the last week.  And there is no stopping her.

 She loves playing on the floor, sitting, crawling, getting into things, pulling books off the bookshelf....

She also loves her jumparoo.  She is also all about eating real food. 

We haven't ventured too far with the real food, but she would much rather have real food than her baby food!

This little guy is talking more and more everyday!! 

 My favorite words of his are:

Hewwo=Hello  (and he says it so sweet!)

Chewie= Julie 

When playing on the phone he will say...Hewwwo  Chewie-- SO CUTE!

He also tries to say Brooklyn--comes out something like Bookbiin

He is always worried were everyone else is, and we go through roll call often!

Daddy??  Mommy??  Bookbiin??  Baby??  He has to know if they are at work, sleeping, in the other room.  He is a great brother!! 

 And he loves having his picture taken.   Everytime he sees me getting the camera out, he says CHEESE!

He also LOVES being outside!!!  So glad the weather is cooperating!

We are having a lot of fun at our house these days!!

Rub a dub dub...

Three men in a tub...

Update time!

Well, since it has been so long since we were able to fill you in, we will go for a quick update!

As you can see from the previous few posts, we have had A LOT of visitors!!!  From Aunt Julie surprising us with a visit, then Grandma Iowa was here, then Grandpa Iowa, then Uncle Jeffy, and Meredith!  We are popular what can we say!

We have had Raegan baptized, enjoyed nice weather, and are seeing our kids grow up way too fast!

Mommy and Daddy enjoyed spring break by getting some yardwork done, running errands, having lunch together, and being able to not be rushed for a few days!  Then it was quickly back to reality with a track meet, Football going on, and early mornings where we are going going going!! 

Our newest update is that we got Brooklyn moved into a BIG GIRL BED!!  She is now in a twin size bed and loving it!  I will have to get a few other pics taken of the new room arrangement for the girls, but here are a couple of pics of Jamison and Brooklyn playing in Brooklyn's new bed!  I think Jamison loves it as much as she does!  Next it will be converting Jamison's bed to a toddler bed, and before we know it Raegan will be graduating from high school!

Does she look 17 or what on her phone in her big bed..... 

We have a busy few months ahead of us, so stay tuned!  Daddy continues with Spring Football, Mommy has to go out of town a few days for work, Brooklyn has her dance recital, Easter, more visitors, Birthdays, Birthdays, and more Birthdays, and not to mention chasing three kids around!!  But all in all, we are FANTASTIC!!!  We are healthy, happy, and are SO blessed!!  So many smiles, giggles, and cuddles!  Just wish time wouldn't move so fast!  Stay tuned so you don't miss out!!

8 months old!

This little girl, isn't so little any more!!  She is 8 months old, with two teeth, strong willed, and SO close to crawling!!!  It will be any day now!  She is sleeping great, happy, and just a very content little girl!  She loves to play with her big sister and big brother when they let her!

My little baby isn't so much a baby any more!   She is growing up too fast!

UNCLE JEFFY!!!

Where you would you want to go for spring break??  To visit us of course!!!

Besides reading some books...

and more books...

 and lounging around and watching basketball....

 and reading more books...

add in a couple of good meals and that about sums up our weekend with Uncle Jeffy!!

Thanks for coming to visit us Uncle Jeffy!!!  PLEASE come back soon!!

Another special visitor!!

We always love having Meredith visit us!!

Looks like Jamison had something important to tell and show her!!

Silly Brooklyn!

GIGGLE TIME!!

Mommy is actually in a picture once!  Notice how noone else cares!

Can't wait to see you again Mere!!!

Grandpa Iowa-reprise

So the issue with uploading pictures has been resolved and we are back in action!  We had actually uploaded so many pictures to our blog that we had to purchase more storage!!

Back to Grandpa Iowa's visit. 

Grandpa was here for a weekend where it was nice outside!!

CHEESE!



"What are you looking at??

 On Saturday, we loaded up the van and drove to Oklahoma City for a wedding.  Jill's cousin Shannon was getting married, and it was a great chance to take the kids to visit with family that would be in town for that!  Great Grandma Bev was able to finally meet Raegan!  It was a nice day!  I think Grandpa Iowa was even seen blowing bubbles for the kids to play in at the wedding reception!  (Didn't get a great pic though)

Brooklyn and Jamison "cheesing"

You will see in the previous post that we had a great time with Grandpa Iowa.  Jamison loved having someone to read books to him and take him on walks.  And Grandpa also got a lot of cooking done for him on Sunday by Jamison and Brooklyn. 

We love having visitors!!

Grandpa Iowa
