Leah Turns one! Jeter goes to Kindergarten!

Leah turns One!!!!!! One of that fastest years yet! This girl is 15 lbs, no teeth, almost walking and loves to talk! She is such a sweetie and loves her family!









 What was going to be a small birthday just us really, turned into an almost 30 people party! But it was so fun, Leah got a good nap so she was happy for her candle and cupcake and all the fun cousins to entertain her!

 Happy Birthday Sweet Leah Marie!
 And Jeter started Kindergarten....What!? He loved it! I was a mess, ! Complete with a dream the night before of two year old Jeter with his little church shoes on in his new class, oh it was a sad day. But also very exciting for him!!



haha


 Pig-tails!
 With all the time inside we decided to venture out this past weekend to the old Safford bridge where the river runs through. So, so fun. It was kind of the trial run so hopefully we get to go back again soon!

 Killian the leader. One funny story: K: "for my birthday we will probably have a part at grandma Ginny's house!" J: "for my birthday we are going to the zoo!" K:"for my birthday we are going to Lego Land!" this kid doesn't like to be left out, let me tell ya. Love his love for life!
 Love these three boys!

The three little Kiddos!

Swim lessons were a success! With the help of swimming at Uncle Jason's pool these kids are now fish!
 Unfortunately illness hit our house, again! We survived but I swear we never want to take our health for granted!!
Jeter was the last of the kids to get hit so of course the others wanted to comfort their poor sick, older brother.
 Miss Leah
 I love my plants. I have some beautiful plants and some vinca and pansies that have really Bloomed this season!
 Leah turns 11 months!! Thinking about walking but mostly just mastering cuteness.

 I love this sign I have "grateful is a happy place to be" It makes me think that being grateful in spite of hard times makes you happy. We choose our attitudes!
 And speaking of, this sweet boy is still cancer free! Almost to that year mark!!!
 Leah the climber. On the kitchen table, on the stools, on the rocking chair, pretty much anywhere!
 I just love these kids. They can drive me crazy (like I spend the afternoon organizing toys and the next day they are so excited to see all their "missing" toys they feel the need to dump them everywhere.
We had a stay-cation at Uncle Jason's house (had to get some more swim time!) we house sat and got to play with cousins!!!


These two, Brett Has to have everything Jeter has! Backpack and all.




 We had all the cousins over! It was pretty fun! 8 kids and one adult....
My painting buddy.

 For reals this girl is cute and very adventurous!

 Our sour patch kid...

 Just love these three little monkeys!!
