The 4 Gray Kids!

This is obviously Hadley's 13 week picture. : )
Silas loves talking on the phone!
Joel David is showing off his book on Jaguars that he made at school. (He is not wearing glasses in this picture because he broke both his regular pair of glasses and his back up pair in the same day.) : )
Benjamin took a running leap onto his razor scooter and flipped over it breaking his wrist. Ouch! He'll be in a cast for 3 to 6 weeks. He chose the light blue color because he was told that that was the least chosen for a cast and he wanted to be different from everyone else. Way to go Benjamin. I love that reasoning.

Tristan's 30th Weekend

Am I sure I got the title right, you ask. It says Tristan's 30th weekend and all you see are three/four precious little ones. Well, that's how it goes. There were five of us girls (with 4 of our kiddos) that went to Atlanta for Tristan's birthday. I don't have one picture of all of us and not one of the girls.....just the precious little ones that went along. : ) Edrie is my niece and she just turned one. Ransom (Charity's baby) and Hadley are 7 days apart and their friend Noomi (Tristan's baby) is one month younger then them. They were all amazing on the trip. No problems from any of them. We, as the girls, had a blast. We spent 5 hours at IKEA, ate lunch in the cafe there and then found, thanks to Jessica's iphone the best mexican restaurant for dinner which included hibiscus flower tacos. Yummy! The next day we went to H&M and Trader Joes. Wish Memphis had these 3 stores.

8 weeks

Is it just me or is she sooooooooooooo cute? : ) I love these moments with her daddy too.

Hadley At 7 Weeks

I take a picture of my kids every week for their first year of life. It is so fun to literally see them change during this time. I'll try and post her week pictures from time to time so you can see the changes with me.

Melt My Heart

Two peas in a pod! Ah! I love it!

Breaking Out Of The Comfort Zone

What is that you ask? O, it is just cinnamon toast made with honey, that's all. : ) Benjamin so kindly made it for the 3 boys this particular morning and Silas thought it must be better on his head for some reason. This is very unlike him. He is pretty psychotic about being clean. Since that is his natural bent, I actually rather enjoyed him smooshing the honey toast in his hair. Way to go Silas, breaking out of the comfort zone.

Joel David's 6th Party!

As mentioned before, Hadley was born on Joel David's 6th birthday. Needless to say his party had to be a bit delayed, like a month. : ) But, here are the pictures. There is proof that he got to have a party. : ) He requested that he make his horse cake with me. This is the 3rd or 4th year in a row that he has had a horse cake for his birthday. This years horse was "Dixie" the horse he rode at horse camp this summer. It was so much fun making this with him. The six carrots were all his idea and a very nice touch I thought.

If The Shoe Fits!

Buy it in every color................or if you have an aunt who is equally as much of a shoe-a-holic as you.........just wait for her to help your daughter get on board with your shared obsession. Are these not the cutest little mary janes and booties that you've ever seen???? I just love them. Thank you again Aunt Pam. I just had to share a picture of these with the world! : )

What A Fan Club

It is so fun to see how they adore her.

Hadleys Blog Debut

I always forget that the pictures upload backwards. Oh well, enjoy them in reverse. : ) Hadley was born on July 16th, her big brother Joel David's birthday. How exciting! We are all thrilled to have a little girl in the family. Benjamin and Joel David had prayed for a baby sister and the Lord gave her to us at just the right time. We are reminded of the complications that there could have been during her earliest days in my womb and thankful to the Lord for His miraculous care. She is perfect. Praise the Lord. Welcome to the world sweet Hadley. We all adore you so much.

Horse Camp 2010

Our boys have been looking forward to Horse Camp since last summer when they saw their cousin Hope's after camp show. They had a blast! (with their cousin Newt too!) They learned to gather their horses from the field, lead them back to the stable, saddle the horses, and many riding "tricks". They are already counting the days until next summer when they can go again.

Si Si

I promised these way too long ago. Sorry little Si, I didn't forget about you.

It's About Time, Huh?

Where do I begin? I haven't blogged in forever. I guess this picture is a good start. : ) I'll add mister si si a little later.
