Dinner @ Bryleigh & Elliana's house

April & Chris invited us over for dinner and a chance to get the girls together.
All three of these girls had the same due date of 4/17/09!
Bryleigh and Elliana were born in early March,
so they are about 6 weeks older than Ali.

They had fun playing on the floor together...
laughing, pushing up and rolling over :-)

Ali & Elliana had fun playing in the exersaucer and jumperoo...
then it was Bryleigh's turn!

We enjoyed watching the girls, talking and comparing stories...

THANKS APRIL & CHRIS! LET'S PLAN ANOTHER DINNER NIGHT!!!

GBS & Bellies --> Babies!

I was posting some pictures from our girls bible study night and found this one, so i thought it would be cute to show the transition from bellies to babies!
This picture is from my baby shower back in March of 09. Caroline, me & Alyson... April had just gone home from the hospital w/ her twins, so she's missing from this picture...

It's more difficult than you think to get these girls and their babies together for a picture!

Tonight I took Ali to our Girls Bible Study Social night. This has been a great group to share and fellowship with. You girls are great!April & Kristen w/ Ali & BryleighAli & Kristen

Ali likes being out on the boat!This is funny... we went to target to pick up a few things, and as we were loading up the truck I caught Dru making Ali laugh by throwing the toilet paper up in the air and making a loud noise when he caught it... she would just cackle!
Dru w/ Ali as he was about to leave... he didn't want to leave Ali.We really had an awesome weekend together!
I love you Dru!

Play Time!!!

Today we got together with lots of our little friends at Keenan's house! We had a great time just visiting and watching the kids interact w/ each other. We made some great memories... especially with the multiple attempts at making footprints w/ the plaster of Paris! We discovered that the UltraLight Sculpey clay works much better!

Ali's 4 Months Old! Photos by Caroline...

This afternoon Caroline came over and took some more pictures of Ali.

It's hard to believe Ali is already 4 months old!

This is our "growing chart" shot to see how much Ali changes over time...
Ali @ 1 week old
Ali @ 2 1/2 months oldAli @ 4 months oldWe spent most of the session outside - it was a beautiful day!
We put Ali on a blanket, to see if we could capture her new "trick" of rolling over...
apparently she wasn't in the mood - this was as far as she got!
This is one of my favorites...
Our happy girl!
So serious...This puts things in perspective...
This has been my signature baby picture,
so we thought we should try and recreate it for Ali...We decided to give Ali a carrot... All smiles!Our precious family! Hailey is keeping watch in the background...
Daddy LOVES his baby girl!Mommy does too!Nap time!
So cute! I love them all!
Thanks Caroline!!!
