OKC Cont...

I found a few more (and some of my favorites) on my photo stream...

Playdates with our friends! 

MiMi and Papa

Fishing with Auntie 

Auntie was awesome for getting in this freezing water with us :) 

There is no denying Hadleys love for animals (horses specifically) however this is a miracle shot because Ivy is NOT a fan! I couldn't believe she wanted on! 

This kid will be a cowgirl or a Vet, maybe both

This was an awesome day! 

OKC -May 2013

We have been back from OKC for almost a month but I still wanted to post a few pics from our trip...

Despite 2 monster tornados and kind of a rainy month, we had a blast! There was still not enough time to see everyone and do everything, but we feel blessed to have gotten to spend a month at "home".

Hadley- 3 1/2

This post is of course LATE by a few days but this last week as been insane (will post later)!

Hadley,

3 1/2! Wow!
You are sweet and loving, loud with those you know, but shy when you meet someone new or haven't seen someone in a while. You love your baby sister and are usually dragging her around, 'showing' her something. You are a Daddy's girl 90% of the time, unless you are hurt, tired, or sick, then only Mommy can help you. You have beautiful blonde hair that curls when its wet, and your Daddy's blue eyes! We still get comments on how long and beautiful your eye lashes are. You are a little Mommy to other kids, and are very concerned if anyone else is crying or upset. You are obsessed with talking on the phone! Your favorite shows are Go Diego Go, Dora the Explorer, Bubble Guppies, and Curious George! You are a true animal lover! Riding horses is your FAVORITE thing to do right now and ask me to go everyday. You love to go for bike rides, taking Baxter & Addicus for walks, playing in the water table, going to the spray park and playground, and going to 'The Farm' a.k.a Lexi's house. Your nickname is the 'Plumber' because your crack is ALWAYS showing!!! It honestly doesnt matter what pants we put on you, you just dont have a bum!!!! Sorry for that baby girl because Mommy gave you that lovely trait!

We defiantly have had some struggles lately... You are going through a tantrum phase right now and it.is.a.struggle!!!! Everything seems to be a 1-3 minute long tantrum! All the books say its a normal thing at this age but some days it feels like it may be the end of me... Patience is not something I have ever had a lot of and you put it to the test daily but we are learning together as we go.
I know that I will, and have made many mistakes being your Mom, but hopefully I learn from them and dont repeat them (often)! Even through the tantrums and whinny days you are such a sweet little girl. I love your "big hugs" and sweet kisses.


I hope you always stay as sweet as you are.
Mommy and Daddy love you to the moon and back!

Ivy Mae - 18 Months...

Say it "aint" so! My baby is 18 months old today!!!!

Ivy Mae,

You are such a sweet, beautiful little girl! You have such a big heart and the attitude to match it ;) You are a take charge kind of girl. You know what you want and you usually get it. You still think your big sister has hung the moon and want to do everything that she is doing or does. You are still a Mommy's girl but think your Daddy is pretty awesome and LOVE to follow him around the yard "helping" anyway you can. You have warmed back up to dogs and cats but all other animals still scare you to death! We just went to Oklahoma for a month, and while you loved seeing everyone, you think your Great Grandpa is pretty cool! Pretty much everyday that he came home for work you would run for him!
I still get comments daily on how amazing your eyes are and how pretty you are! You love to give hugs and kisses, and you have the cutest 'pout' I have every seen! You have lots of words but your favorite is NOOOOOO! You say it often, even when you dont mean it ;) You are so sassy and your Daddy and I have loved watching you come into your personality.
Thank you for being such a loving little girl! We feel so blessed to be your parents!

Stats:

24.42 Pounds
31.5 Inches tall
18-24 Month clothes

You love oatmeal and special K for breakfast, and will pretty much each anything, as long as you can feed yourself... You are very independent and HATE it when someone tries to feed you.
You are a water bug and will play in the water table for hours! You also love when the sprinklers come on so you can play in them, or taking a trip to the spray park! You.Are.FEARLESS!!!!

We love you so much baby girl! Happy 18 Months!!!!

Mommy and Daddy
