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!!!

Where's Hannah?

Please ignore my voice in this video, I hate the way I sound on a camera. HA!!! Hannah loves this game!!!!

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!!!!!!

Spring Break Playdate

We hosted our first official playdate yesterday at our house. Candace was here from Birmingham, and Miranda and Rikki also came. The babies are pretty close in age so it was a lot of fun. I didn't take a lot of pictures, but maybe the others did and when they share I can post a few of theirs.

Addie had a hard time sharing her toys, so I spent most of my tending to her. Ha!!!

Attempt at a group picture minus Hannah and Baby Tate!!!!!

Thanks for joining us girls, can't wait to do it again!!!!!

Hannah Kate 5 Months

Hannah Kate turned 5 months old (unofficially since there wasn't a 29th of Feb.) last week.

She is growing and changing so much. We've had a lot of firsts this past month.

I lover her smile. She still continues to be a really good baby. She is happy and content most of the time except when she is hungry.

We still get various comments about who HK favors. I think she looks like her daddy and her Uncle Nic.


I love these blue eyes. I'm hoping they stay this way.

Hannah Kate what have you been up to this month:

1. You are weaned from mom (ha!) but still get breast milk from the freezer in a bottle. You take a bottle every 3-4 hrs about 4ozs. You get 1 cereal bottle at night and you drink it in less than a minute.
2. We started baby food and yogurt last week and you love them both. You will eat almost a whole thing of yogurt for breakfast.
3. This past month we celebrated your first Valentine's Day and you received your first valentine present from a boy, Noah!! Daddy was not a fan of this exchange Ha!!
4. You a wearing size 2 diaper and 3-6 month clothes and some 6 months.
5. I have know idea what you weigh but we have a check-up in a few weeks so we will find out then.
6. You sleep around 9 hrs at night in your room in your crib.

(This picture was from the first attempt at Hannah's 5 month pictures, Addie was asleep when I made the ones above)

We are loving every moment with Hannah and Addie. Addie is always telling us how much she loves her sister and I know Hannah loves her too.

Big News

I'm not pregnant, but I know someone who is. My brother Nic and SIL Amanda came home Sunday to announce the big news. They are due in October. I'm so excited that I'm going to be an aunt!!!

They shared in a very neat way. They took a recent ski trip with my parents and brought photos with them for my mom and dad to look at. On one of the pictures it told the big news. I took a picture of their picture with my camera.

Loving the Weather

We have been enjoying the weather for the past week and stealing every bit of sunshine we can. Addie loves to be outside and it helps her burn off alot of her energy.

Happy Valentine's Day

Wordless Wednesday

Play my dollhouse Daddy

Addie asks Mark to play with her all the time, but her favorite is to play with her dollhouse. I think that it is so funny that she wants him to play with this.

The other day I grab the camera so I could steal a few pictures of them playing.

I love to sit and listen to there conversations while they play. Mark is very sarcastic and comical all the time and Addie understands his jokes. Scary!!!

I love to see the relationship they have. Mark is such a good dad.

4 Months Old plus 1 Week

This post is a little of everything. Hannah turned 4 months and had her check-up and Addie had her 2yr check-up last week.

We've had a busy couple of weeks and I haven't had much time to take pictures or get on the computer.

I just love this picture!! Both the girls had dr appts last week. Mark was off work and went with us since they both had to get shots. I don't think I will ever do that again. Addie is terrified to even be in the exam room, of course I can understand since the past few times she's has went to the dr she was very sick (staph and flu). But we survived!!!

Hannah is still such a content, happy, and precious baby. She only cries when she is hungry or sleepy. (or when she wants Addie to go away HA!) In the past month she has really started responding to us.

• you weigh 13lbs and are 23.5ins long
• wear 3-6 month clothes and size 1 diapers although not for much longer
• love your cereal bottle and still eat about every 3 hrs
• sleep all night 8-10 hrs and take 2 good naps during the day
• love sitting in your bumbo and you are starting to like the jumperoo
• rolled over for the first time from tummy to back about 2 wks ago

Addie is still crazy about Hannah. Sometimes a little to crazy.

At Addie's 2yr check-up she weighed 25lbs and was 35ins tall. Currently Addie's favorite food is salad.

Happy Birthday Granna

Yesterday was Granna's birthday. We met her and P-paw for lunch at the Mexican restaurant in town. And then we went to their house for supper.

Addie is absolutely crazy about Granna and I'm sure Hannah will be the same way.

We love you so much Granna. Hope you had a Happy Birthday. Thank you so much for all you do for us!!!
