Turning 2!

Happy 2nd Birthday to our wild, sweet, little peanut!  You have brought us so much joy and we cannot imagine life without your constant energy and chatter!  Athaiah you are a bundle of energy, constantly on the move!  You speak so well it is unbelievable.  In fact, you have been known to speak for your brother at times, and you know no stranger.  You are a mommy's girl still-but love your daddy and get so excited when he comes home or walks into the room! You LOVE shoes and that is probably an understatement, you walk around all day putting on new shoes, and it doesn't matter who's shoes they are, so long as they are shoes! You are a blessing to our family. We love you to the moon and back!

We were blessed to be able to go home for Athaiah's 2nd birthday and spend it with family and friends! Thank you to every one who came out.  These are just a few pictures from the party!

 Cake Time!

Pretending like she won't make a mess!

 Thankful we removed the shirt! My messy girl!

  This is my favorite picture of the afternoon.  This is our family with all of our grandparents-so the kids great grandparents! They are all still living and we are blessed beyond belief that they have been able to share in our children's lives.  This picture will forever be a treasure around here!  Thank you to all of you for making such an impact on our lives, we are blessed to call you our grandparents!

 The birthday girls! My baby sister's birthday is the day after Athaiah's. Very glad we got to see her that close to her birthday this year! No matter how old you get and how many children I have-Alyssa you will always be my "baby." I can't believe what an incredible woman you have turned into.  I love being able to call you my sister!

This is the birthday girl the next day in one of her new outfits.  She was so excited to get so many wonderful presents.  She spent the next day looking through them all again and playing with them all! Thank you again to everyone that came out.  It was GREAT to see everyone of you and to be able to catch up a little.

Happy Birthday Peanut!

Big Bed-Big Kids

We decided it was finally time to get the 2 older ones a big bed! Athaiah has still been sleeping in the crib and Elijah has been in a toddler bed. After looking through all of our options we decided on a mini loft bed with an extra mattress on the floor, that way they could have a "bunk bed" but we would be able to better reach the child on top!

They are so excited about their new bed they play in it at every opportunity that they can get.  We are beyond pleased with it.  It took some rearranging to make everything fit for 3 kiddos in one room! But I think we finally accomplished it with it not looking too terrible cluttered!

This was them on St. Patty's day(the only recent one I could find of all 3 of them)

The dressers/changing table! They love the set up-Athaiah loves having access to all the shoes. We may need to rethink that option LOL! But it is nice because they can help themselves now when we ask them to find their shoes!

They are looking forward to many fun nights in their new beds.  We still have yet to officially move Avery up-hopefully this weekend we will start with that process!  Then we will have no babies in our room(at least for now!)
