Cailyn is 4 Months Old

My sweet baby is 4 months old.  I will say this a million times over but how can 4 months go by so fast??? 

She is growing by leaps and bounds these last few weeks.  She might of started off smaller then her brother and sister but I think she is quickly catching up.  We will see next week.

Here is her official 4 month picture.  In this picture she is wearing her Christening Gown and a handkerchief bonnet.

The symbolic part of this bonnet is she wears it on her Christening Day and then on her Wedding Day it is something old.  It makes me cry…I think that is so sweet.  She thinks it is funny!!!

The dress was mine as a child.  She wore this also on her Christening Day.  I will post pictures of that day this week.

What you can tell from this picture….

1. Cailyn has blue eyes (I think they are here to stay)

2. I rubbed all her hair off in the bath one day (I am assuming it was suppose to do that)…and now it is growing back beautifully….if I was a betting person, I would bet it will be light golden brown like her brothers.

3. She has excellent head control although 9 times out of 10 at tummy time…the child falls asleep.

4. She is the happiest baby!! OMG, the Lord truly blessed us!!

Other things about what Cailyn is doing…she love sucking her fingers. Ugh!!!

Or sometimes her thumb. Double ugh!!

We are trying everything in our power to stop the thumb and go for a paci or a teething ring!!

Cailyn is getting SO big… and she found her feet.

Cailyn this has been the best 4 months!! You complete our family and we love watching you grow, but do your mommy a favor…slow down.  It is hard to explain how my kids keep aging and I do not!!

Lawson’s Ice Skating Party

DSC_0357

Saturday we celebrated Lawson’s 6th birthday at the ice rink.  IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!! It was great because not only did the kids ice skate but so did the parents. We provided ice skating lessons for everyone.  It was so fun to see everyone ice skate. The kids (who are much lower to the ground) pretty much had it going on.

Even Wesley gave it a good try.  Since I can semi-ice skate I was left holding him up.  Literally!  He is not quite ready for ice skating lessons!!

DSC_1601

He is finally getting the hang of it…by letting me carry him.  My back was killing me!!

Grammy and Pops joined in the fun.  They did great and there were no injuries to report!!

After the 30 min. lesson we all came out for pizza and cake.

Last weekend Scotty McCreery came home for his homecoming and we were there to help celebrate.  Our friends the Spesshardts gave us there VIP pass to their neighborhood (they can see the McCreery house from their house) and we were able to walk to the park for the festivities.  The kids had a blast although they were not too sure what all the fuss was about at first. 
Here are our troopers heading towards the park.

Wesley didn’t walk too long and then ended up riding in their wagon….with Brant pulling him.

When we got to the park this is what we saw…

I thought this was super cute!!

Then the man of the hour…guess what??? He is a Wolfpack fan!! Ha!!

So proud of our hometown idol!! What a fun memorable day.  So glad we could be apart of something so special for our little town.  Thanks Spesshardts for having us over!!!

I should note that Lawson is now in LOVE with Scotty and says “Scotty is a Hottie”  Lord, help me!!!

Mother’s Day/Father’s Day Program

Last week we enjoyed a short (I mean REALLY short) program at Wesley’s school.  It really consisted of them saying “Cheers to you mom and dad!”  Or if you are my child…hiding behind everyone and not saying a thing. I have grown accustom to this kind of behavior from my kids at school programs.  Then Wesley gave us our super sweet gifts and we enjoyed donuts and muffins together.
Here is Wesley during the program (using that term loosely!)DSC_1449
Collins was able to take off time from work and be there for him.  I know it meant the world to Wesley!
DSC_1454
Here I am with my big boy!! Wow, he has grown leaps and bounds this year!!                                                             DSC_1456
A rare photo of Collins and me with just Wesley.  DSC_1457
Here is the cute sign they made us!DSC_1459

Hey, Cailyn

DSC_1573

Check out my little girl.  She has found her fingers…we are doing every thing possible to encourage a pacifier rather then her fingers!!  Why you ask??? I have an almost 6 year old who still sucks her finger…ugh!!!

Also, Cailyn has her first runny nose.  Poor thing is just miserable.  She hasn’t slept good the last two nights.  Hope she is better by this weekend.  We have big plans between Lawson’s birthday party and Cailyn’s baptism!!!

Strawberry Picking

I have been very slack on blogging these days.  Sorry.  Back on May 2nd Wesley, Cailyn and I went strawberry picking with our good friends Jenn and Katie.  Jenn was kind enough to take pictures since I have my hands a little full. 

Here we are in front of the big strawberry at Porter Farms.
