A Hunting We Will Go

Easter egg hunting that is :O)

Well, technically Casey turned 2 on April 7 :) But nonetheless, he is 2!!

He had a great birthday and a super party! His wonderful fabulous mother went all out on the decor as well as the cake. That's right, I made that cake all by myself.

The super handsome birthday boy!

Casey's friends :)

I think he liked it :)

Casey and his super scary dragon his wonderful Aunt Ashley gave him.

Casey in a nutshell:

*He loves his bubba/Byrant (yes that's how he says it) and his baby Dayden.

*He loves to play ball, color, eat, and play. He's a little ball of energy :)

*He's started speaking better in sentences.

*He knows his shapes: oval, triangle, square, circle, rectangle, and star.

*He is, unfortunately, a biter and hitter...but we're working on that the best we can with a 2 year old :(

*All in all, he is our little ball of fire and sunshine all in one. We should've known from the beginning, since he was so eagar to come, what a fiesty little one he would be. He's a lover and a fighter :) We love him so much and couldn't be happier with the woonderful little boy he is!!

We love you Casey Austin. May you have many more happy happy birthdays!!

A Beautiful Day

at the Arboretum

amongst the most beautiful flowers

with the most beautiful boys

with the most beautiful smiles

It's a beautiful life!

6 months old already!!!!

We're just hitting milestones left and right around here. First Bryant turns 5. Then Dayden turns 6 months (last Saturday), and next week Casey will turn 2! WOW!!!! It's amazing how everyone is just growing up but I seem to be staying the same young 25 :)

Well, back to Dayden and his 6 month milestone. He had his checkup today and weighs a whopping 16lbs 12oz (which is EXACTLY what Bryant weighed at 6 months) and is 26 1/4 in long. He's in the 50% and growing great. He's still a toot about not wanting to eat, not wanting to sleep through the night, and not wanting to roll from back to tummy BUT he's a happy toot!!

At 6 months Dayden CAN:

*roll from tummy to back

*laugh (big belly laughs too:)

*sit for a few seconds unassisted

*"talk" alot

*play with his feet

*play with and grab toys

*put everything near him in his mouth

Dayden loves his brothers and boy do they love him. They are both so good with him. Casey even shares his lovey with him every now and then and Bryant loves to take care of him. Dayden will just watch them play and smile and laugh when he sees them. I love it!! It just melts the heart to see such sweetness.

Bon Appetite

Bryant had a fabulous chef birthday party. He and his friends made mini pizzas and ice cream sundaes. As you can see, they had a blast and make pretty darn cute little chefs :)

5 Years Ago....

Bryant entered our lives (well technically 5 years ago last night). Wow...I can remember the day like it was yesterday. We were getting ready for a BBQ book party for Bryant and he didn't want to miss out on the fun. After laboring all day, he arrived at 10:33 that night. It's amazing how much a little sweet baby can change your life and yet you could never imagine your life without him.

Bryant has grown up to be such a funny, smart, sweet, caring big boy. We love him so much and are so blessed God put him in our lives. He loves to play outside, swing, color, play games, help with his brothers, try to read and write, play with his mom and dad, watch cartoons, and just have fun. He's your typical 5 year but much more (if you ask me). He's just wonderful!!!

Happy 5th Birthday Bryant Allen Sands! We love you more than you can imagine.
