At 17 days old, Aspen got her first “real” bath – her cord finally came off.  Here are a few pictures of her bath…

Getting clean

She seemed to enjoy the bath a lot!

But she did start to get hungry – she loves to eat too!

All clean!

Putting lotion on her so she doesn’t have dry skin.

Isn’t she just precious?

Up on Mommy’s shoulder – she loves to be up where she can see everything!

Last weekend, I thought it would be fun to take a short trip.  So, we decided to go to Clanton and take the kids to Peach Park.  The boys had a blast walking around and after they played at the park, we got some yummy peach ice cream and peach pies … and then headed home.  The drive was nice and quiet – thank goodness our kids love to ride!

Aspen didn’t stay out for too long – she had to nurse.  But we managed to snap a picture of her in her car seat …

… and a picture of all the kids with Mommy – rare occurence cause Mommy is usually taking the pictures.

Aidan is such a camera ham!

After I took Aspen to the car to change her diaper and feed her, Ricky took the boys walking around and playing in the park.

Austin helping Anson blow a dandelion.

Great picture of Austin – I’m slightly shocked he climbed up there by himself.

All the boys on the rocks!

Isn’t Anson so cute?  He’s all boy!!!

Walking across the bridge at the park …

… and one at the peach!

And another cute shot of Aidan.  Sometime after this one, Aidan got in trouble for running off and then biting Austin on the arm when Austin tried to catch him.  Never a dull moment in our house will all these kids, huh?

Anson loves to put on my shoes.  Ricky was able to capture a few pictures of him playing with my flip flops.

Notice they are on the wrong feet – too funny!

Here are some sweet pictures of 3 out of 4 kids sleeping…. too bad they don’t sleep this good all night!

I love how Anson sleeps – with his arms behind his head.  So funny….

Sweet babies! 

Grethel came over this past Saturday and took pictures for us.  Below are some of the best ones from the shoot.  Please remember, if you are looking for a great photographer in the Birmingham area, be sure to check out Grethel at www.gvephotography.com.

And these two are truly my favorite pictures – I think they make her look like a little angel!!

Thanks again, Grethel!  As always, the pictures are AWESOME!!!!
