My Niece

So, my brother and his wife had their baby on September 8th and she is the first girl baby born to my side of the family! We are super excited for some pink!! Her name is Alexis Cheyenne and she is just wonderful! Here are a few pictures although I am sure she has changed a lot since we first got to meet her!

I got the honor of being at the hospital when she was born. Kyle had to work and the boys were with their grandparents. It was a lot different being on the other side of the delievery room!!! Waiting is hard! But she is here and gorgeous and I miss her like crazy!!!

So excited for some pink!!!

At the Park with Papaw

So, I know that it has been a loooonngg time since I last posted. Things around here are super busy and since Blake has started crawling it's even more busy! Haha! We have had a fun couple of months so this week I am going to try to play "catch up" on our lives.

My dad came up for a couple days to visit and we had a great time! He kept the boys entertained and they loved having some one on one attention from their Papaw. He came with me to my first volleyball class at the Y (which has started up again) and observed me coaching. On Thursday he took the boys and I too McDonalds and then to the park.

"I can do it too Bubba!"

Blake loved to crawl around the park instead of being in his stroller or in his sling.

Coming later this week....I am finally an aunt!!! I will introduce you to my neice. Also, more pictures of my cute little boys!

Our Visit from the Dillons!

We were very lucky to get a visit from some very special people this summer!!! The Dillon Clan came to visit!! We were very busy while they were here and we had so much fun!!!

We had a super fun time with them and miss them so much!!! Drew said to me today, "Mommy, Mitchell is my friend."

A Great Weekend!

We were able to have a great weekend with Kyle's family!! They arrived Friday afternoon and we were able to let the kids play outside for awhile and then we ate pizza and relaxed. Our pool is a little small, but it worked!

Kayla, Kinsey, Cody, and Drew

While the kids played in the pool, Blake played on the blanket with Mommy and Grandma. Daddy and Grandpa were playing catch.

Drew loves to play Starbucks, so these were our two "baristas" for the weekend. For some reason they only made frappucinos!

On Saturday night we went to a TinCaps game. The TinCaps are a single a baseball team here in town. Their field is brand new and it's VERY nice!

This was Drew's first baseball game....something Kyle has looked forward to for awhile! He even got Drew a baseball!

I love this picture!

My family!!

All the kids and grandkids...Kyle, Drew, Me, Blake, Kinsey, Cortney, Kayla, and Cody

The whole Turner family...

Just some fun ones!

I busted out the camera the other day while we are all playing and got a few good shots...so here you go!!

Daddy and his boys!

Kisses...

Drew's turn!!

More kisses!

Drew got a new carseat for his birthday, so we gave Drew's old one to Blake...no more infant carrier!! I am a little sad about this one! So, the infant seat is inside for now and this is what we found the other day.

My big boy in the little seat.

It's amazing how big they get in three years. (And I do know this is a horrible picture of baby Drew, but it was the only one I could find quick of him in the carseat.)

And lastly here is us....these pictures used to happen a lot more, but here we are after 5 years of marital bliss! Still in love....aawwww!

A Birthday and a Wedding

As usual the summer has been crazy! In the first two weeks of July Drew turned 3 and my youngest brother got hitched. In between those events Kyle co-deaned camp for 8th-9th graders. AAHHH!!! I didn't get very many pictures from Drew's birthday because I was trying to enjoy it. I am hoping the grandparents got some good shots! Drew had an Imagination Movers birthday party.

This is the first year that I made his cake. It didn't quite turn out like the picture I saw, but it was done out of love (and it was fun)!

So happy!!

The wedding party

This is her parents house and the tents from the wedding and all the campers and tents...it was quite the site to see!

Family Reunion

A few weekends ago we had a family reunion for my Mom's side of the family. Since our families are growing it gets harder and harder for us all to get together at Thanksgiving and Christmas. So, it was super awesome so see everyone. I didn't get too many pictures because I was busy visiting, but here are a few from the weekend!

This is Drew and Brody eating together. They are second cousins. Lisa is my cousin and Brody's mom. It's so much fun because Lisa is 6 months older than I am and Drew is 6 months older than Brody. Fun that we got to grow up together and now our boys are close in age too.

This is Drew playing with his Great Uncle Jeff. He is my mom's sister's husband. So good to see them!

Uncle Matt holding Blake getting some practice in before his daughter arrives....AAAHHH....he's going to have a daughter!!

Uncle Joey pushing Drew around on a teeny tiny motorcyle.

We got to go to the Chalmers Days pancake breakfast. Uncle Joey made Drew a special Mickey Mouse pancake! Afterwards we were able to look a the fancy cars and firetrucks.

Last but not least....a happy baby taking a tubby!!!
