Brady's First Birthday!

We celebrated Brady's first birthday yesterday. Natalie picked the perfect day for weather--the kids loved playing outside. Brady is such a sweet laid back little (really not so little) guy. Happy Birthday Brady!!! Waiting for his cake
The big kids

The hat never fails to make them cry

Mimmy, Madison, Aunt Kiki and cousin Merrill

The girls LOVED going down the slide

If you blow the picture up you can see Macey's hair had major static every time she went down

Libby and Madison

Pops somehow got the pushing swings and making sure everyone got a turn job

Emery waiting patiently for a little one to get out of her way at the bottom

Pure joy

They were getting so sleepy by this point

Playday with Ava Grace

We went over to play with Miss Angela and Ava Grace last week. The girls had so much fun and it was good to get out of the house. Thanks for having us! Madison is already such a good "big" sister--she likes to feed Macey and if you hand her two of anything she immediately goes to give sister one.

Macey loved closing and opening the door on Ava in the t.v. cabinet

Cute little Ava Grace

James Henderson Byerly, Jr. is here!

I got to go down to the hospital yesterday morning to meet my newest cousin. Elizabeth had a baby BOY yesterday morning and he is so precious. I can't wait to visit again and get to hold the little guy. Congratulations Byerly family--we're so excited for you! Proud Daddy
Looks just like Elizabeth to me in this picture

Big sisters--Merrill doesn't look too sure

Ready for Spring!

We've just been hanging around the house this week. We are so ready for warmer weather so we can play outside! Bath time last night--Madison's hair is getting out of control

The love to swirl and splash the water around

We are working on Madison only having her passy at naptime & bedtime. Monday she found the coke bottles out of their kitchen set and improvised.

Macey thought it was funny and joined in

They are starting to really play together--it's so cute

Madison loves loving on sister--Macey usually isn't up for it, but they were running around the house holding hands.

Finally Well!

We've been cooped up for the last 10 days or so with Macey sick. It hasn't been fun, but thankfully Madison was very good which helped me out a lot. Macey threw up every other day for 10 days. Hopefully we're in the clear now, Madison never got sick as of yet, I'm not sure how, but very thankful. It's so pitiful to see your baby sick & we're so glad to have our happy Macey back to normal.

You can tell in this picture the weight she lost--her face and legs really thinned out from no solid foods for so long.

Madison decided to see how many stickers would fit on her face at once

This is about four hours before her virus hit. No signs she was feeling bad until I heard her get sick in the monitor about 10 that night.

Feeling better--back to her sassy self

Getting them used to their new bike helmets and harnesses for Disney World in March!

Aunt Jessie said they looked like they were about to go skydiving
