HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAYLOR!
I can't believe she is one already. Although I am glad the days of the IV's and monitors and NICU are over, it makes me sad to think my baby is one. The time sure does fly when you are having fun. Taylor has been such a blessing to us, it makes me cry to think of all of the ups and downs of her first year. This makes me think back on how blessed we were to have everything turn out so well. So thankful for all our family and friends that were so helpful during this time last year. We are truly blessed. I have to laugh when I look at this picture now... we knew she was a fighter but if we only knew what a little spit fire she really is ... I guess she has to be that way to keep up with Brinlee. I have truly enjoyed every minute this last year and can't wait for the years to follow, hopefully just a little slower than this one.

Two HOT babes!!! The sunglasses are a killer but swim suit is just as great. Thanks Clarks!!!


She was alot daintier than I thought she would be she did end up messy but just kind of picked at it!

The Little Piggie Cake, there were several other trial cakes, this one made it through and I am sick of baking cakes.

Averi Clark

Our new neice! Isn't she beautiful. She was born on March 2nd, weighing in at 8lbs. 4 oz. When I arrived in Ohio I was expecting this little chunck, but she is so small... you forget how tiny they are. It was so fun to be able to hold and snuggle her. She is absolutly perfect. I was glad we didn't get a long good bye because it was hard enough as it was. Thanks to daylight savings time it was a very short goodbye and a really fast dash to the airport. Matt's alarm clock went off just at the right time.... half way to the airport. Good thing dad woke up and remembered that daylight savings was last night! Oops! Oh well! Thank you so much Matt and Katie for letting me come out to meet your new edition. I am so in love and you two are the best parents. Averi is one lucky girl!!! Congratulations!!!! Make sure to keep that blog updated so we get lots of pictures!!


New mommy Katie and Averi... Sooooo cute!
