Easter 2009

We were in the hospital on Easter last year. Kaitlynn was 2 days old and wore a yellow nightgown with a duck on it and slept most of the day. It's amazing how things change! Grammy and Grandpa Sewing went up too visit Annie and Jake this year so my family came to visit us. Ryan and Sarah came down from St. Joe on Saturday and Matt grilled out some delicious chicken. On Sunday we went to church and came home and ate left overs for lunch! Kaitlynn of course fell asleep on the way home from church so we didn't end up getting a family picture since we wanted to change out of our clothes. Although, we did get some cute ones of her after her nap while she played with her new toys.

So sweet!Happy Easter

Grandma Hardie gave me this basket at the hospital last year. It had some treats for my Mommy and Daddy!
Is my mom a teacher or what?? Letters for the bath tub...I can't even walk yet!
I'm not too sure about standing in these shoes.
They lasted about 5 seconds!
"Quack Quack"
Say Cheese!
"Lynnie" chillin' with Uncle Ryan (that's his nickname for her!)
Here are a couple of short videos of Lynnie playing with Uncle Ryan. I just can't get enough of that giggle!

Birthday Party

Thanks to Jean letting us borrow their USB cord I am now able to finally upload pictures and videos from the past month, including the big birthday party! I have a LOT of cute pictures and videos to put up here so it may take me a while. I'm going to do a few different posts as I go so make sure you check them all out!

Happy Birthday!
Waiting for her guests to arrive. Her and Asha passed the time with a few rounds of patty cake! She's getting pretty good at "rolling" that dough!

Opening her adorable dress that matches Courtney's!
She had lots of helpers!
Cake Time!



We tried to get a picture of the 4 girls in their party hats. You can see it went well. This was the best out of about 10 shots!
Tryin' on her new swimming gear.
It was beautiful out that evening after the party so we went for a little stroll in her new car. As you can see, the faster it goes the better she likes it!

The week before her birthday I made cupcakes for Kaitlynn to take to the babysitter. As you can see most of the kids started off touching the frosting and checked out the cupcake before delicately taking a few bites..
Not our daughter...
Thanks to everyone for helping us celebrate Kaitlynn's 1st birthday. It really is amazing how fast the time goes. I'm trying to enjoy every moment we have with her as she continues to grow into a little lady!

First smile caught on camera. Now we see that smile ALL day long!

Happy Birthday Kaitlynn!

We celebrated Kaitlynn's first birthday last weekend with family and friends. Thankfully the weather was absolutely beautiful and we all had a great time!

CAKE TIME!!


A little help from Daddy!
Bath time!
Hose her down!
As you can see the party hats lasted for about 1 second. Emma and Asha were great helpers!Kaitlynn is saying "Thanks everybody!"

I need to thank Dana for uploading these pictures from her camera for me. Miss Kaitlynn has apparently ripped out the USB cord for my camera a few too many times from the computer and it will now not work. I haven't been able to figure out a way to get my pictures transferred to the computer with out it. I have a TON more pictures of the fun weekend that I'll get on here as soon as I can. Thanks again for sharing in her first birthday with us!
