Gweny- Loo- Loo as we call her...

The rest of the photo shoot arrives!! Look close there are two lil teeth there!!

















This is my favorite facial expression. Mark says if we add more weight in the cheeks it looks like Hadley but I JUST CAN'T SEE IT. She looks like Gweny and that's that! : )



We were getting around to meet up with Jon, Mandy, & Carter to go watch Xavier play last weekend...the sad part is we only have OSU stuff hahaha so my girls were decked out in OSU gear (luckily they won that day).



This is their mean face (or I just couldn't get both of their attentions)

Haircut & Photo Shoot

Hadley had no idea last Friday that after being at the baby sitter all day we were headed to get her hair cut before going home. Mark was not quite sure about Hadley with a bob & bangs so Mama took initiative and did it on her own! Gweny rocked out in the stroller and Hadley jumped up in the chair. She didn't cry, but mostly because I think that she didn't have a clue what was really going on. They saved me a little lock of hair for her scrapbook, I almost lost it. After the hair cut Hadley pranced around that store like she owned the place and she's just TOOOO cute with the new do!







That Sunday Hadley took a marathon nap and so I got some quality time with Gweny. We did a photo shoot which she was PRECIOUS during. This is a sample of the pics because the computer is running slow and I can't upload the rest...check it out later this week.

Hadley's other birthday party was the last week in February at the Bowling Alley, which seems to be a new tradition for her and Macayla.


Great Grandma Elling got to make it to the party. For the holiday season she had last year she looks GREAT. She had a blast talking to the family and friends.



The birthday girls stopping for just a minute to pose.



Lauren being shy.



The Anspach family all hanging out at the bar ha!



Hadley's boyfriend (texting pal) Cayden, happy as always.



Nadia who really can't be that grown up already in shy mode.



Gweny, sleeping as always at the party, this time with Grandma Cathy (Aunt Cathy to avoid confusion!!)

Brogan, who is six months younger than Hadley. Looking like a grown up little boy!

One HAPPY birthday girl!!!



Old Man spoiling Gwenyth! (You'd cry also if Old Man held you!!!!!!!)



These girls have too much fun together. Hadley loves every chance she gets to hold sissy and is so good at playing with her, talking to her, and bringing mommy what I need. These are some precious pics they let me take- on Mommy's new furniture :)

Are my girls really this grown up already? How is that possible?

I just can't keep up with this darn blog. SO much has happened in all of two weeks. Hadley got a hair cut, Gweny got her first teeth, Gweny did a photo shoot for me, two of my girlfriends had little babies (yes, two more than Mandy), the girls cheered on the muskies to a win and Hadley went to Yo Gabba Gabba LIVE! THOSE PICTURES WILL BE HERE SOON!!!!

Tonight we share her birthday party here in Cincinnati. Lucky for my kids they will always have two parties which makes Mom tired but has many benefits for the girls!! The party here was a great success with all of Mark's family making it except Uncle Bill and lil Bill (or big Billy). The actually day was awesome with pizza & cupcakes for the crowd. On the down side, the "Hads-1-N-1" spread like a wild fire. All but one household came down with the scoots and pukes on Monday- talk about feeling TERRIBLE. Anyone that couldn't make it that day, well count your blessings : )

Elliott doing a silly face.


"Let me try my face again, again, and again," says Ms Emmie


Last time we saw Conner was a Lauren's baby shower and he was six months old. This time he's eleven months and move around like a champ. Walking like it's nothing big and just cuter than EVER!!!!


Elliott and the birthday girl looking for trouble.

All the cousins on the DeBord side...beautiful children very unappy to sit still!!




As always, Gweny is sleeping through the party?!!?! Spoiled by Uncle Wyatt

Adventures...

These girls are too much sometimes!! Gwenyth is tearing it up, her 6 month check up placed her at the size of an average 9 month old, and her ba'donka'donk doesn't fit into clothes that she should be in, instead she's wearing 12 month clothes. Partly because she's 18 lbs 5 ozs and 28 inches long?!?! Where did this girl come from?



We've been trying to make sure each of us (Mark and I) get individual time with the little ladies. Today I took Hads to the grocery store while Mark stayed home with Gweny. Hadley is such a little talker, and it just warms my soul to see her making SO many people smile. Granted she can be incredibly embarassing at times, like when snot flies when she sneezes or her mini melt down about wanting a snack but she's a toddler and that happens. Her complete JOY over powers all of those things. She's such a little sponge, with new phrases like "what's up?/ One, ready...GOOO, s'okay mommy, guess what...wuuv u." Everyday she puts more words together or knows where something goes and I look at Mark and he looks at me and we are just amazed. Oh the blessings...

One of the many birthday parties we've gotten to enjoy over the past few weeks. Our niece, Emmie had a monkey party and Hads was determined to help her open her gifts...







The excitement builds as the biggggg gift- a bicycle comes out!!
