Kendall's 3 Year Pictures




Here are Kendall's 3 year portraits and I think they turned out wonderful. Papa Gary and Mom took Kendall to have these made and we didn't think there were going to be many to choose from because Kendall was doing such cheesy smiles. However when we saw the proofs we had to narrow it down from about 20 awesome poses. The photographer was great at catching here with a normal smile when she least expected it.

My Pumpkins!


Aren't they just the cutest boys you have ever seen? They are getting really cute little personalities and smiling tons. Babies sure can make your heart melt, can't they?

My 3 Babies!

My 3 babies- wow, that sounds crazy doesn't it!?! Just the other day, James said he still could not believe we had twins! I still cannot believe I am the mother of 3... I am not old enough, am I?

Noah and Andrew chillin'



The boys were laying with mom on the bed this morning and were seriously just relaxing with each other. They talked and laughed and kept getting closer and closer until they were on top of each other (okay, so I helped a little!).

Princess Kendall and Princess Mia!

Kendall's friend Mia came over to play the other day and they disappeared upstairs for awhile. When they came downstairs this is how they looked- cute, huh? Mia said that her and Kendall were on their way to the ball!! I'm not sure, but I think Kendall may have gotten kicked out if she had shown up at the ball dressed this way!

Look at Andrew!

We had a picture of Noah showing off his strength so I had to get one of Andrew too! It's tough trying to be fair and get equal/similiar pictures of both boys.

Mimi and Papa Gary come to town!


Mimi and Papa Gary came to Michigan for Kendall's 3rd birthday and to visit with the boys (and of course to see Ashley and James too- yeah right!). We had a great visit and really hated to see them go.

Kendall's 3rd Birthday!!






Kendall turned 3 on October 10th and we had her a party on Saturday. We had her friends, Papa Gary and Mimi, Grandma, Grandma Smith, Uncle Joe and Aunt Kris all here to celebrate. The kids got to decorate pumpkins and play outside in the beautiful fall weather. Kendall had a Curious George birthday cake that was delicious. She got some great presents from all of her wonderful friends! It's hard to believe that our baby girl is 3 years old!!

Happy Noah!

Now this is the Noah we love to see! How cute is this picture??? As you can see he is getting a lot stronger and happier too!

Singing in the Rain!


We had a monsoon one weekend and just about went stir crazy. It was warm on one day so we decided to let Kendall play out in the rain. It ended up that mom had to play in the rain too and we had a blast!! Ashley learned you are never too old to play in the rain!

The kids (and grandma)





Starting from the top, we have Kendall and Noah laying in Kendall's bed. Kendall gets so excited when they get in there with her- it's really quite cute! Next we have the boys playing together on the playmat. They had their arms crossed which I thought was adorable! Of course Kendall loves holding the babies (and doing whatever else I will let her) - the first one is with Noah and the next is with Andrew. And lastly, we have grandma with her 3 grandchildren. She visits up pretty often and is a HUGE help. Kendall absolutely adores grandma!!!

Kendall at the apple orchard




We got to go spend a day at the apple orchard with grandma and some friends, Mia and Lanie. Kendall had so much fun... she got to ride a pony, jump in the bounce house and eat doughnuts and apple cider. The fall days are gorgeous here, however it does mean winter is quickly approaching- Yikes!!

Family






These are just a few of some family pictures we have taken over the last month. Note that Andrew looks happy in all pictures taken and Noah is often seen crying. That pretty much sums up their personalities... Andrew is a much more content baby, while Noah is a little more needy. As long as Noah is being held he is happy, but put him down and that could all change! He does seem to be mellowing a little as he gets bigger--thank goodness!


Andrew William



Here are some long overdue pictures! Here is our happy and content Andrew. He is happy 99% of the time and if he does cry it is because he is either getting hungry or trying to fall asleep. Kendall is such a great and helpful big sister as you can see in the picture. Andrew was hungry and as I was in the kitchen getting hima bottle ready, Kendall was already "feeding" him. I can always count on Kendall!!
