9 Months old!

Another month has passed, and this little bee is busy! She is still not crawling yet, but her hands are into everything. She is the happiest little girl, and she is still the best sleeper! She nurses 4 times daily, and she eats baby food 1-2 times daily. She likes her "puffs" snacks, and she is drinking a small amount of juice daily. She got her 3rd tooth this month, and it happens to be her right lateral incisor... it looks pretty funny since she doesn't have any other teeth on top and she's got a tooth that's not in the middle coming in!

Here are her stats:
wt: 16 lb 15 oz (31%)
lt: 27.25 (40%)


We also had Sam's check up today as well and his stats are as follows:
wt: 36 lbs
ht: 3' 5"
Sam also got his Kindergarten shots and he was such a big boy!

Easter Events!

Easter is always a very special time of year. We love the celebration of our Risen Savior, and the activities that allow us to spend time with the most important people in our lives--our family! This year, we were able to spend the Easter weekend in Clarksdale, so we got to spend time with the Stovall/Moore crew and also with the Landes crew! It's never a dull moment with our crew, but I wouldn't have it any other way!


I got creative this year and made the kids some cute Easter egg shirts. I was trying to get them to take a decent picture in them, but this is as good as it gets! They sure are cute, though!


Sweet Baby Kathryn!



We were excited to spend some time with our sweet cousins. Luckily, I was able to snap a few pictures as they played and lounged in their pi's. Here are Kathryn and Annalyce playing!




Look at these 2 precious kiddos...Sam is such a good big brother to sweet Kathryn!

My handsome Big Boy!



Trying to get a picture with this busy crew is almost impossible, but we did it!



On Saturday, we went to the Easter Egg hunt sponsored by Clarksdale Baptist Church. It was so much fun! They had an egg hunt, fun games, a scavenger hunt, and lots of yummy snacks. The kids had a blast!
Sam, Kendall, and Cash were so excited about the Easter Egg hunt! Yes, that is Andrew with his basket over his head!!



Kathryn was excited too!






Cash and Sam were having a blast doing the Egg relay race!



Kendall got to participate in a scavenger hunt with the older kids. They found clues based on the crucifixion and the resurrection. It was so fun, but very educational! We are so thankful for good Christian-based churches that help teach and instill the Christian values in our families!



Sam was having a blast finding eggs!



Cash and Kendall were finding lots of eggs!


After the egg hunt, we headed out to Karen's for some Country fun! These kids are country at heart!

Easter morning was a glorious celebration! The kids loved their Easter baskets, and we also were able to get the entire family to church!





Of course, Kathryn's favorite part of the basket was eating the grass out of the basket...

Fun at Tishomingo State Park!

During Spring Break week, we took a little day trip to the Tishomingo State Park with the Brands. We started off with lunch at Baldwyn Pizza Factory, then we drove to the park for some hiking! We had a great time, and the kids loved seeing all of the rocks, water falls, etc! It was fun to be out enjoying nature!!



The 4 kids!
