1st Birthday and Easter!

Our new swings!! This is fun!
Korynnie loved it!
Rylie likes it for a short while...then seems to get a lil' nervous!
Don't have to explain what Avery is thinking!!
Easter...Korynnie, Avery, and Rylie!
Grammy, Rylie, and cousins (Abby, Brayden, Darien, & Kendall)
Sacked out!

Rylie and Korynnie have been taking piano lessons!! You should hear them!

(Above & Below)
We sang happy birthday 3 times! Once for each of them!
Rylie...just beginning!
Korynnie...taking a lick!
Avery isn't too sure..."It's kinda sticky!"
"Ok...this is fun!"
"Thank you Daddy!"

Still...not too sure!
Ok...Rylie is going strong now!
Tearin' it up!!
Korynnie thinks its more fun to watch sissy than eat her cake!
This is what we ended up with!! Good thing we did this in the driveway!! What a mess!! Absolutely NO evidence of a cake...just mush!

Here is our BIG cake!
...big cake, lil' cakes, and our pinata that Tia Liz made for us!!

Ms. Nancy, Grammy, Mimi, and the girls!
Below: My nieces and the girls!
Tia Liz readin' to the girls! They LOVE books!

This was there birth- DAY! We ate at Grammy and Papa's!
Mommy, Daddy, Korynne, Avery, and Rylie!
Daddy and Rylie!
Rylie Hope!
This is SO typical! Avery Grace has the most unmanageable hair!! She woke up the other morning just like this!! I did absolutely nothing...it does this on it's own!!


Mommy and Rylie at the St. Patrick's Day parade!
Daddy and Korynnie...we missed our nap time!
Pop, Avery (snoozin'), and Rylie!
Rylie and Tio Dean!

Grammy and the girls!
Korynnie playin' peek-a-boo with Papa!
She loves to play!!
She also loves to read! She'll sit on your lap and listen forever...when you stop she gets very angry! She'll also sit by herself...turn the pages...and talk, talk, talk!!
Had to share this! Rylie loves crawlin' around with the rings!! One in each hand!!
Another pic for the parade!
Daddy and Avery!
Daddy and Rylie...playin' before bath time!
This was Korynnie's last night to have to wear her helmet (Feb. 29th)!
Her head looks great now and we're glad we don't have to fool with the helmet anymore!!
Pop, Daddy, and the girls in Pop's car!
Pop takin' the girls for a walk!!
We went to the doctor the other day and Korynnie...formerly the "tiny one" is now the biggest!! She weighs 20 lbs! Rylie is close behind at 19.14 lbs and Avery is now the ity bity one at 18.6 lbs! They are all doing great! Currently working on transitioning from the bottle and formula to sippy cups and milk! Not the easiest, but we're getting closer!
Avery and Korynne are walking like crazy!! Rylie is pulling up on everything, pushing toys around the living room, and can stand up by herself! She'll probably be walking in the next few weeks! No hurry though...If they were all still crawling, I think we'd be TOTALLY fine with that!! ;0)
Korynne has 4 teeth...you can see 2 of them REALLY well and the others are coming! Rylie has 2 also and I think I can see the 3rd tooth coming...can't feel it though!
Avery...still all gums...no teeth! Talking like crazy though (at least for a 1 year old...I think)! Da-da, Ma-ma, Hi, Bye bye, Elmo, Uh-O, Pop...and she'll study your mouth when you're talking to her and try to say different words!
They all give BIG kisses..and Avery gives TIGHT hugs!
They are learning so much...so fast!! Too fast! I can't believe the year has gone by so quickly!
Bry and I are so blessed to have these three angels!
People often see us out and about the they say, "God bless you!" I often reply, "He sure did!"
