Family Pictures

This is my sister, best friend and mentor. I call her my Yoda. She is absolutely AMAZING!! This is one of my favorite pictures of the two of us.

Baby Brady smiles!! SO CUTE!!Sydney graduated from preschool in June. This is her teacher Ms. Ackerman. She had a great year and we are semi-looking forward to Kindergarten. She is very excited - and I am going to cry.

Brady is just like his siblings, he hates getting a bath until it is time to wash his hair and then he is in heaven.

Every time Grandma Camille is here the kids "help" her make cake balls. They are delicious and gone very quickly.The kids love when Grammy comes up to spend the day. This day, we went to a local splash park and then came home and watched The Sword and the Stone. A personal favorite of mine.

My cute three kids. Sydney - 5, Tyler - 3, and Brady - newborn.

Happy Fathers Day!! Ryan is the best dad. The kids were so excited to get him ready to open their presents (hence teh graduation cap). We are so blessed to have a Daddy that works hard, loves us and is a WONDERFUL DADDY!! WE LOVE YOU!Visiting the Zoo with the kids. Sydney's favorite animal is the elephant and Tyler's is the lions. We have an annual pass and love going to the zoo.My two cute boys posing for a picture.

Baby Blessing

July 4, 2010 was a special day for our family, it was the day that Brady was blessed at church. He is such a joy to have and we feel so blessed by all the family and friends that we had participate from near and far. He is so loved! Sydney and Tyler thought it was great because during church they got to sit with cousins and grandparents and not Mom and Dad. Thanks to all who attended a very special event for a very special baby.

Brady Douglas Alexander

Brady Douglas Alexander was born into our family on May 31, 2010 at 6:19 p.m. He weighed 8 lbs. 5 oz and was 21 inches long. He had a little problem with his lungs and ended up staying in the baby nursery until the day we left. He now has a clean bill of health and is a complete joy in our family. While Brady and I were in the hospital, Tyler came down with a virus and Ryan got Tyler's stomach flu from the week before. It was a little crazy! We really appreciate Grammy and Papa for keeping the kids and helping out so much! A BIG THANK YOU!!! I am also really appreciative that my Mom could come out and help. She got here Saturday night and is making the kids transition to a new sibling easier. They love spending time with Grandma Camille and want to go see her first thing in the morning (which at our house usually starts at 6). I am loving spending time with her. Sydney and Tyler are also loving their new little brother. They are both big helpers. Brady is a fantastic baby (knock on wood.) He usually only gets up once or twice in the middle of the night and then goes right back down to sleep. Last night he slept 4 hours! We are so blessed with all three of our children.

While Daddy was home for a week, Sydney had her last day of swimming lessons. She loved swimming and Tyler loved watching it. We are getting excited to swim this summer.
