Camryn and her friend Ashley from Lexington

such a big girl!

Camryn with her aquadoodle, she suddenly discovered how to make faces. At this point they are neither happy nor sad since the mouth is always a straight line.

Camryn with her flowers she got from Daddy. She now cannot smile without it looking REALLY fake!

a slightly less fake smile....

Spring is on the way!

Camryn has a love for her umbrella and has been DYING to use it. Finally today we had a chance to go out in the rain and use her favorite "Lightning McQueen" Umbrella! Too bad it is still only 48 degrees outside. I can't wait 'til we get a nice warm rain so we can go out and play in it ;)

Elody's Dedication

On February 21, 2010 we had Elody dedicated at church. It was a special day and she was not only adorable but also did a great job. I almost didn't put pictures on because we really didn't get any that were very good but I decided to share what we have.


anxiously awaiting her big moment :)


not a great picture but the only one where you can kind of see us...


Pastor Randy praying for Elody, (she wasn't sure what to think of him)


aren't we a photogenic family


wow, I don't know who looks the worst in this one


still not sure about that guy...

What a ONEderful day

I can't believe my baby is already ONE! It was a fast year filled with many exciting changes. I can't believe that just one year ago when Elody was born I was still working and Brian was working at a different job. We were just deciding to sell our house and move. Now we are settled in to our new house and Elody is not a baby anymore!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my sweet little Elody!


Elody with her birthday cookie. This was really just cruel to hold it in front of her and not let her have it...

Elody with her cupcake

it didn't take her long to decide this was a good thing!




present time!

Walking and Singing!

Elody is finally walking! She isn't great yet but she is getting there fast. She is actually sick in this video but in a great mood! Also Camryn didn't want to be outdone so she told/sang Humpty Dumpty and Baa Baa Black Sheep. No Camryn does not have ADHD but in this video she sure looks like it!

My Girls are Growing Up!!!

Elody has been trying new foods and is starting to figure out that the real stuff is much better than the stuff that she has been getting out of the jars! This one however she wasn't so sure of at first :)

hmmm... you want me to eat this???


I guess, I'll try anything


all gone!


A big girl with a bigger smile :D


Ok, ok, ok, I know that Camryn doesn't have a lot of hair and she probably didn't need to have it cut but what girl doesn't like to get her hair done?!? Camryn did great with her first haircut! She sat still and Emily even said that she was "the best 2 year old ever." I of course think that my child is the smartest and cutest but she is rarely referred to as the "best." Maybe that is because she has my personality :)


Such a pretty smile. She was very proud of the penguins she was wearing.


All trimmed up. Maybe next time we will have to get a manicure too!
