Catching up...

Trip to the Children's Museum


Aden loved digging for dinosaur bones...I think he liked wearing the mask the best!

Cowboy Aden! (Didn't seem to care that none of us could track down a nickel to make the darn thing move...happy anyway! That's my boy!)

I think this was his favorite part of the whole day. He got to dress up like a dinosaur and carry the eggs to the nest. This boy loves to dress up!

Owen and his friend Ryleigh Galema...he's just a tad larger!

My little man!

I just love a boy in bibs...

Asleep with Speedy...he's such a Cars fanatic now!

Hilton Head 2009

Vacation with the Daughertys!
We had an amazing week in Hilton Head with Trav's parents last week. Aden was in love with the ocean and the beach and Owen did such a great job adjusting to a new place and schedule. We spent a lot of time with Trav's Aunt Jill and cousins, Summer and Jordan, and were able to see Savannah, GA and many parts of Hilton Head as well. Trav and I are so blessed to have a wonderful little family, and extended family too. God is good!

More alike than we realized...

Owen Richard- 3 months

Aden William- 3 months

Selling our home...

Bittersweet...
I have to say our first home has been absolutely perfect! Right from the day we moved in this home has been an amazing one and we have been so blessed! It's crazy to imagine living and making a home somewhere new- but we are excited for God to unveil His plan and show us what's next. Travis and I both have taken new jobs closer to Indy and our church as well. We are very excited to relocate there and finally have a sense of community where we live. Up to this point we have commuted to jobs, church, friends- everything! We're looking forward to what's ahead.
All that said...it's hard not to be sad about saying goodbye to Anderson and our first home. This place holds so many memories for us, college, dating, wedding, both our boys, family and friends. Please pray for us as we make this next transition in our lives- it's going to be an adventure!

Feels like summer...

Aden and Owen are ready for summer...


Hang out time...




We had a great time at the Farmers' this week, hanging out and spending time with friends we haven't seen for awhile. We were pumped to get to spend time with Jon and Amy, while they're home from Cali. It was funny to see the "baby fest" that has become our lives- but so good to watch everyone's kids playing and having fun together. It got us all very excited for summer...can't get here soon enough!

Hooray for play dates!

Kendall Jo and Owen

Aden and Camden
So, play dates are the absolute best thing in the world! For moms who stay at home there is nothing better than being able to have a real conversation and another toddler to entertain your busy boy! I'm so thankful for friends who live close and can come play with my fellas! Hilary and her sweet Camden and Kendall came over today for some fun in the sandbox and lunch time. Yeah!!!

My little stud...

I just love this little man... he is growing so quickly and I am more in love with him every day.

The Boys...

Sleepy Mornings, Carnivals, and Brother time!
The boys are getting bigger every day and they bring so much joy! It's exciting to imagine them in a few years, playing and...maybe a little arguing, but just being best buds. We are so blessed. Happy Spring!!

Owen Richard

I am definitely a little busier this time around and to add to the distraction of having a two year old as well as a newborn our camera broke soon after Owen was born. Needless to say, I don't have as many pictures of little Owie as I'd like- but this adorable shot was captured via cell phone (thank you Verizon!). I can't believe how big he's gotten, it seems so much faster than Aden did. His cheeks are my absolute favorite, I just love to smooch them. He's 6 weeks now and completely adapted to our little Daugherty routine. He is a wonderful baby and I am enjoying every second of being a mommy for another little boy. We finally got another camera so I'll be sure to play some catch up with picture taking...I'm sure he'll love it! ha ha!

More Easter

Easter Easter Everywhere!
Easter was definitely more eventful this year. Aden actually understood how to run around and grab eggs (even from his cousins' baskets!) and open them to find candy and other treasures! It was really fun to wake him up to his first real Easter basket like I remembered doing as a kid. The funny part was trying to explain why the Easter Bunny came to give him toys when we were really celebrating Jesus. I'm sure many parents before me have traveled that road, but I have to say my sorry attempt at an explanation was quite hilarious. Travis got a kick out of it anyway! Unfortunately Owen couldn't quite enjoy the egg hunt yet, but he did get some adorable jammies from Nanna and liked being held by every aunt, uncle, or cousin in the room! It was a very nice day. We felt very blessed and were reminded of God's love in so many ways.

Easter Egg Hunt

Easter Egg Hunt
We headed to Gaither Family Resources this morning for the annual Easter egg hunt. There were a ton of little kids and thanks to Aunt Amber's genius it went SOO much better than last year. (When we found ourselves barricading one egg for Aden to try and pick up while the older kids trampled the younger ones!) This year they had areas designated for different age groups and Aden was loving the fact that there were plenty of eggs to grab and put in his, of course, basketball basket. It was a beautiful day and a fun memory. More pictures to come of our boys tomorrow on Easter...blessings!

Nanna and Bumpa's Visit

Nanna and Bumpa and Claire came this week on their way home from North Carolina. They were excited to meet our newest addition and we had such a great visit. Aden and Claire were two peas in a pod and played all day long. We had beautiful weather and all got to hang out in the yard and take a long walk to the park. Ahhh...when will spring be here?! We love you Nanna, Bumpa, and Claire. Can't wait to see you again soon!!
