Sweet little Kylie sleeping in her bed. At her 4 week appointment, she weighed 8 pounds and measured 20.25 inches long. She is a growing girl! Kylie is such a sweet baby and has been great so far. She rarely cries other than when she is hungry or really really tired. I feed her twice during the night but thankfully she is a fast eater...she knows that I need my sleep! I think that Kylie must have some of the best dreams by the way she smiles during her sleep!
Reed and Braden driving one of Craig's big trucks. They love to go back to the barn at my parents house because all the big trucks are back there.

I try to take a nap when I can but that rarely happens. I can usually sneak one in if we are at my parents house because I am not looking at the million things that need to be done at my own house:-)
Braden and my dad were riding around on the golf cart one morning when it was pretty cold so dad got B this hunting tobogan to wear and he didn't want to take it off.
My nanny is going to kill me for putting this picture up of her but I couldn't resist. She was working in the yard with my mom and was so embarrassed that she had shorts on. Nanny, I love you and posted this so your sisters could see how young you still look in shorts!!!!
Why are pots and pans so entertaining?!?
This past Saturday, we took all the kids to the zoo for a Cystic Fibrosis walk in honor of our sweet little friend Tori. Tori was diagnosed this past year with CF so we want to do whatever we can to help with raising money for research for a cure.
It was funny to hear people walk by us and say "she has twins and a new baby!" Knowing good and well they are really wanting to say "are they crazy?!?"
This picture doesn't really capture the moment. The boys were so tired that they were both sound asleep riding with dad...RW just woke up when I took the picture.
Nana spoils them rotten and does just about whatever they want!
This is a typical afternoon on our way home from my parents because they are so worn out from playing all day!
First bath!

Busy!

Kylie Reese has just been sleeping away while her brothers are hard at play!!!!
Playing in all the mud after the storms...
I just happened to catch Reed doing a face plant into the creek...he was not a big fan of the water and mud after this:-)
Braden on the other hand couldn't get enough of it!
Playing hard outside...Brothers Sharing...
Catch Me if You Can...
Fighting over Pappa's Hat ...

2 Weeks

Little Kylie Reese is now 2 weeks old and she has been a great baby so far! At her almost 2 week old appointment, she was back up to her birth weight and doing great. She had gained 9 ounces since we left the hospital. Kylie sleeps a lot during the day but does great at night. She usually wakes up twice in the night but goes right back to sleep after I feed her. She fits right into our family!!!

The boppy is her favorite place to sleep. It is usually on top of our dining room table since that is about the only place she is "safe" from the boys:-)

I think that pappa may be wrapped around her little finger too just like he is around mine...haha!
Charley Rae and Kylie Reese are going to be best friends. Charley is my brother's little girl that was born April 5 and Kylie was born April 15. I think people will think that I have 2 sets of twins if we are out in public together with the girls and boys. Mentioning the boys, they are doing great. They do not pay a lot of attention to Kylie besides coming to give her a kiss on the head every now and then. We do have to tell them to "Be EASY" quite a bit during the day with their sister.
Braden goes 90 to nothing when he is awake. He makes us laugh all of the time but keeps us on our toes all the time too:-) Braden has discovered that the pantry is a fun place to hide just like I did when I was a kid.
Reed is still cutting teeth as you can tell by the drool on his shirt below. I think he is about to have all of his teeth in and it seems like 8 new ones are coming in at the same time. When we drive down my parents driveway, Reed will just about always say "big trucks" or "golf cart" and Braden will say "pappa". The boys now can climb up on the golf cart by themselves...I am wondering how long it will be before they can drive it by themselves too!
The boys running free in my parents front yard. This is a great place to let them go to run off all their extra energy they seem to have.
I think Braden had just crashed in this picture.
Reed enjoying being outside
This weekend we spent some time with friends celebrating Martha Lynn's 30th birthday! It was a good weekend to be away since all it did was rain all weekend...I guess I should say flooded Nashville!
Yes, there are 4 babies in the picture below. All four of them are girls and were all born this year.
Maddie, born in January; Taylor, born in February; Avery, born in March; Kylie, born in April!
It's crazy how much a difference a few months makes in babies development.
Kylie needs to start putting on some pounds! She is such a little thing right now but she will catch up!
I couldn't help but take this picture when Zach was holding Kylie being funny sitting so close to Josh:-) I think it was a few more minutes and I was sound asleep on the chair with Kylie after this picture. I think she may be a little spoiled already but I keep telling myself that she cannot be spoiled in 2 weeks already!!!
