Lots of Catching Up to Do....

Bailey's birthday party will be this weekend, so we haven't officially celebrated yet. However, Bailey turned 6 on the 23rd. She started school just prior, and before that she was a flower girl in my cousin's wedding....we've had an eventful couple of weeks!

As you can imagine, I simply can't believe Bailey is growing up so quickly. I guess it happens to the best of us! I am trying desperately to enjoy every moment with both kids because I know how quickly I'm going to turn around and they'll be teenagers. I thank God every day for the blessing of them in our lives and ask him to guide and protect both their bodies and spirits.

Here are some pics...enjoy! I got a new camera (since I ruined our old one on vacation) and I'm really disappointed. While the new one has way more MPs, I had to compress them for file size so they look terrible here. Maybe I'll figure out a way to compress them just a little to still preserve the quality!

This is random, but I took a pic of Nolan sleeping the other day. Doesn't he look big?!

Here's Bailey and mom after her birthday dinner (at Souper Salad...ha!). She has started doing this heart thing in pics...not sure what's up with that.

Grandma and Pop Pop shared in fun.

The best part of going to Souper Salad....ice cream with sprinkles!

This was before school....showing off the cupcakes I made (okay, bought) for the kids in her class.

Another random....pretty girl, crazy hair.

Lines up in the gym on the first day of school.....friends from kindergarten made it an easy morning!

My big girl!

First grade is going to be awesome!

Anxiously awaiting 8:00 a.m. so she can go into the gym with her friends.

Posing with momma before the wedding.

And with daddy...

I know these are out of order....sorry.....Nolan playing in my brother's tux shoes the night of the wedding.

Bailey and her co-flower girl, Trinity.

Dancing at the reception.

More reception.

Getting ready to walk down the aisle....looks like they are discussing their strategy.

Nolan enjoying some guy time with my brothers (well, 2 of them as Cooper is allergic to the sun....ha, ha)

Enjoying some of that great ice cream Grandma Cruson has!

Conner is great!

Climbing the walls (literally) at Leigh's rehearsal dinner....with one of my cousin's children.

Trying to pose with momma....not sure what happened.

Only a tad bit better!

Another of my cousin's children.
