Ansley post birthday!

Ansley is growing and changing so much.  I know I take more pictures of her right now b/c of that and want to make sure I capture it all!  Here are some of her since her birthday:)

Cavaliers Basketball

Landon played basketball again this year and while I feel like we are playing "real" games now it was not the best season ever.  Landon's team won one game all year but I have to give them credit..they never stopped trying and Landon never complained about going or about loosing all the time!

Valentine's Day 2014

We don't make a big deal out of Valentine's Day around here.  The kids get a little something and we usually just spend the evening at home.  Josh was home from work due to the snow so we went to Chick Filet with the kids for lunch and then cooked dinner at home!

Snow Part 2

We had our second round of snow in Feb that caused major traffic issues.  The kids missed three days of school.  While they were excited about it they weren't as excited as they were the first time.  Ansley did not make it out this time...too cold!  Here are a few pictures from that snow/ice storm.

Snow 2014 Part 1

A few weeks ago we finally got some snow and the boys were beyond thrilled!  Parker of course wanted to make Frosty as soon as it started falling and Landon could not wait to sled.  This was of course Ansley's first snow and I took her out long enough to get her picture.  She wanted down so I let her crawl in it which was fine until she face planted into it...she was all done at that point:) We were out of school for 4 days and they canceled the make up day on that Sat. Saturday school is in our future:(

Our little cupcake is 1:)

We celebrated Ansley's birthday with family and close friends.  The theme was cupcakes and I had so much fun planning and decorating for her party!  My best friend Amy  helped me out with the decorations and cupcakes and I had the cutest cupcake cake made for her.  Ansley was a tropper and I am pretty sure she enjoyed all the attention she got that day.  Thanks to all who came and traveled here to make her first birthday so special!

Happy Birthday sweet girl!

Ansley is 1!

Januray 22nd marked Ansley's first birthday!  I cannot believe that my last baby is already one!  She has brought so much joy to our family and I cannot imagine life without her.  This day comes with thoughts of her birthparents who chose to give her life and then made the hardest decision of their lives and chose us to parent her.  We think about them daily but especially on this day.  We love them both dearly and we will never be able to thank them enough for letting us be Ansley's parents!

Ansley is on the move and into EVERYTHING!  She still is not walking but is cruising and pulling up on everything, it will not  be long.  She is saying Da-Da, Ma-Ma, Ma, Baby, Hot and a bunch of things I cannot make out.   She is eating pretty much everything we give her and is in the phase of "screaming" when your not fast enough.  She still loves her brothers and loves getting all the attention when she can.  She has changed so much and I cannot wait to see what this next year will  bring!
Her official stats are weight: 17lbs 12oz(13%), height: 29.75in(70%) and head circ:43.4cm.  The dr's say she is a healthy little girl that will most likely be tall and thin, not a bad problem to have:)

We love you Ansley and we are so happy you are our daughter!
