Celie 5 Months

Well, for those keep track (like me!) she is up another 1/2lb!

Our sweet little 5 month old hit 12lbs this month. 

While she is still a sweet little smiler she is no longer our sweet little rock-star sleeper. Little Celie girl has stopped sleeping through the night : / Not that I'm totally shocked but it was AMAZING while it lasted!

She may wake big brother up from time to time but he still loves reading books to her and making her laugh. 

Looking more and more like siblings every day : ) 

Our biggest news this month!

ROLLIN' OVER!

Summer Fun with Mom

I may not have kept up with blogging very well this summer but we were quite busy making lots of memories. Here are few of my favorites : )

There were lots of morning snuggles on Momma's chair : ) 

Let's get all the toys out so we can just play in a box...

Can't tell you how many times he strung these beads - pretty much part of his daily routine.

If we weren't in the backyard playing with the water table

we were at the splash pad making new friends! 

or checking out new libraries and making even more friends.

 On of my favorite parts of the day ; ) 

Wouldn't have made it through without our A+ sitter, Ally!
He is not happy she was on her way out the door : /

Celie was with us too...just not quite as active : )

 

Last day of summer this Momma made Henry's favorite: pancakes and sausage AND then made him do a whole bunch of stuff for the camera. I just know I will miss all these moments, his silly faces and his sweet toddler voice!

Underwood for Supper and S'mores

Nothing better than having a fun summer evening with friends!

How cute are these kids!

Henry in his happy zone!

 Get him, Henry!

Nate wins again!

S'more Time!

Oh the messy goodness : ) 

Thanks Underwoods!

Daddy's away

We had a blast at the Airport pancake breakfast last year and I knew Henry would enjoy it even more this year so I wasn't going to miss it just because Gabe was gone.  So I packed up the kids and made it happen. Here are my two photos as proof! 

We ended up staying for over an hour eating pancakes and watching planes take off and land!

Bradley Boys & Girls

 I only got two photos and of course not a single mom in either of them : /

The Boys!

 The dads with our second blessings!

Fourth of July Fun {part III}

We started the morning out with a little Pie in the Face action : )
Celie was a bit alarmed to say the least!

I don't think these two ever take a bad photo together!

Remember that time cousin Haley went all Lion King on you!

Our little Celie girl has the best big girls to look up to!

The boys!

Happy as can be!

Fitting in a few books with Grandpa!

A perfect age to be busy together.

Ah, the final piece!

Just a couple of cuties hanging out.

I bet I can guess what he is asking his sweet Aunt Dee...

It wouldn't be a weekend home without a visit to see Aunt Dee!

Final bit of shenanigans for the weekend - WATER WARS 2016! 

But first a family photo before we forget!

Only the bravest participated!

First up, cup races.

Now for a classic - water balloon toss!

We may not have one Lydia but at least we looked cute!

Winner, winner chicken dinne! (As Gabe likes to say : )

Pass the water!

Lots of close calls with this one!

BLUE TEAM FOR THE WIN!

Oh how bad we feel for the poor red team - better luck next year!

Other cuteness happening...
This


and that -
Sorry, Henry but I don't think even a hug is going to convince her of giving the last balloon to you!

And now time for the drive home....he barely made it out of the driveway before this happened.

Thanks for a great visit home! Already looking forward to next year!!!
