Mother's Day

I know this post is a couple of weeks late, but i figure better late the never. HA!! We had a great weekend and I had a great mother's day.




We started the morning with breakfast at Granna and P-paws and ended the day with dinner at Ju-Ju's house.


I hope my mom knows how much she is appreciated. I still depend on her so much!!!

Easter Fun


We had several; Easter activities over the past week. Addie had a Easter egg hunt at church, at school, at Granna's house, and at Big Nana.s house. So we have lots of eggs and lots of candy. So much for my diet!!! HA!!!


At church their where only 5 kids in her age group so they had lots of fun. Addie and Hannah wore matching outfits that day and looked so cute!!


The Easter Bunny came to our house Friday morning, because our weekends are just to hectic with me working.


Addie was thrilled and had candy for breakfast!!!


Hannah was also excited, she got some new snacks in her basket!!





Friday afternoon my mom had a get-together at here house for our Easter tradition that we started last year. The Easter Bunny made a visit and some of the kids weren't to excited about that. We had asked Addie several times if she would have her picture made with him and she was pretty set on nope, so when he showed up she was happy to keep her distance. We roasted hot dogs, hunted eggs, colored eggs and the kids played. It was lots of fun and I looked forward to anytime we get to get the kids together.

Sunday we went to Easter service at my grandmother's(Big Nana) church. We had an early service and then ate breakfast. We spent the day at Nana,s had lunch and another egg hunt. I had my camera with me but for some reason didn't get any pictures.

We had a wonderful weekend with lots of fun, but we still remember the real reason for Easter. We tried to teach Addie a little bit and to let her know that's its not all about the bunny and eggs, but about Jesus and what he did for us.











Blog Catch Up

We've had a crazy busy couple of weeks from stomach bugs, Addie starting gymnastics, Hannah getting her ears pierced, and lots of Easter fun. I have lots to blog about and hopefully I will get it all caught up soon.


Addie started gymnastics at the first of the month and is still adjusting to the class. I'm not sure if this is something we are going to continue with or wait another year. She has 1 more class this week and if she doesn't do better, I think I'm going to pull her out. She really likes it and talks about it all the time, but when where there she spends the first 20mins of the class not participating.


We also bought the girls a swing set back in March and Mark with some help from a friend was able to get it put together finally. Addie loves it!!!

I'm working on my Easter post and hope to have it up later this week. I also have some fun videos to share!!!

Addie singing to Hannah

Hannah 6 Months

I'm pretty sure I says this every month, but I can't believe how fast Hannah is growing. I want to freeze time!!!!

Her personality is really starting to show and she is such a joy!!!!
She has hit several milestones this month, and we have had a few first.


She loves the jumper, walker, or sitting in the floor playing.


I'm really hoping she continues to have these bright blue eyes that I have no idea where she gets from.


We had her 6month check-up this past week: she weighed 14lbs (25%) and 27ins (95%). The Dr. said she looked great and was very impressed with her development.


Hannah watches every move Addie makes, and Addie is loving being able to sit in the floor and play with her. I hope these to continue to get closer.


6 month stats:


  1. Wearing 3-9 months clothes. Size 2 diapers. Size 1 shoes.

  2. Still on breastmilk, but only for about another week and will start formula. Eating yogurt and baby food, which you love and would rather have than your bottle.

  3. This past month you started sleeping on your belly at night no matter how many times I turn you over. HA!! And your still sleeping all night about 10hrs.

  4. This past week you started sitting alone.

Hannah Kate your dad and I love you so much are enjoying everyday with you!!


I am so thankful for both of my girls and I count my blessings daily for all that God has given me.

Bolden Family Photos

My SIL Amanda took some family pictures for me while her and Nic where in visiting. She did such a good job and since shes family she was very easy to work with and very affordable. HA!!!!
These are just a few of my favorites and I will share more when I get the disk.

I love how this one turned out. It really looks like we're in front of an old barn, but actually we're just in front of P-paw's shop.

Addie was very busy and the best way to get her to cooperate was to let her run!!!!!


Picture Perfect!!!!!

This is Hannah's personality most of the time



And I just had to put this one on here, because this is real life. Ha!!!! This is what I live with daily. Mark was not wild about taking pictures in the Sun!!!!
Thank you so much Aunt Manda, you definitely have a talent. Can't wait to do it again!!!!!!
