One year old pictures

I just realized I never posted the boys' one year old pictures that Kristen took. They turned out awesome, even though it was tough keeping Peyton from putting rocks in his mouth!!

Cutest pictures!

I thought I would share some pictures my sister-in-law took of the kids a few months ago. She was helping me out with the kids, because Corey was gone all weekend watching the NFL Draft with his cousin. (exciting, huh??)

Northern WI State Fair

We brought the kids to the fair a few weeks ago and they had a blast! Jayden, Natalie and Ava went on tons of rides! We even brought the boys on their 1st ever fair ride! It was a so hot that day, but it was a lot of fun. Grandpa and Grandma came with us and so did Andrea, Josh, Ava and Natalie.

Peyton and Landon are 1 year old!

Today is Peyton and Landon's 1st birthday! I can't believe it has already been one year. They have grown so fast - I can hardly remember holding them in my arms in the hospital. Peyton started at 5 lb. 15 oz. and now weighs 21 lb. 13 oz! Landon started at 5 lb. 10 oz. and now weighs 19 lb. 13 oz! Landon may weigh 2 lbs. less, but he is taller than Peyton - and definitely is the bully of the two! They have so much fun playing together and chasing after their big sister. They already fight over toys, food, and especially their nuks! They haven't started walking yet, but both have taken a few steps by themselves and walk along furniture or pushing trucks or hanging onto their big sister's hands! They got a ton of toys for their birthday, now our house is even more of a toyland than it was before! And I think their big sister likes playing with them just as much as they do! Here are some pics from their party last Sunday. Enjoy!

Here the boys are in their new pajamas they got for their birthday from Auntie Liz and Uncle Jesse.




This picture was taken today on their first birthday - sitting in their Tonka trucks they got when they were born!

Memorial Day Weekend

We had an awesome weekend of playing outside, cooking out, boating and hanging with our families. Here are some cute pictures from the weekend.

Peyton's cute hairdo!

Playing with the boys

Our little star!

Jayden had her 1st dance recital this past Sunday and she did such a great job! She is the youngest in her class, so I was a little nervous for her....but she was awesome! We were all so proud of her! She had a lot of fans in the crowd too (Grandpas & Grandmas, aunts and uncles and even her little cousin - Natalie!) Their costumes were so cute - they were known as the "Hungry Hippos"!

Best sister-in-law EVER!

So, many of you know that my sister-in-law, Kristen, is an amazing photographer and has been taking TONS of pictures of our kids over the past year. You can visit her blog here. Every time we get together, she is always there catching the moment with her camera. I really appreciate it, because without her, we wouldn't have such awesome pictures of the kids growing up. We feel SO lucky to have her in our family. We love you, Kristen!

Here are some recent pictures she took of the kids.
