Happy Birthday to Autumn!

Well, it happened. My baby turned 1. It doesn't seem like it has been a year already. She is our little sweetie. She was our first baby to not have to be in the NICU! It was so great to not have to deal with that. She is testing her confidence in walking, she is not so sure about it yet. She will stand by herself but taking steps makes her nervous. She is very ticklish and has the cutest laugh. She loves her sisters! She loves it when they play with her and has so much fun watching them run around and play. We had 2 parties for her since a lot of our family lives in town. Her are some pictures from her birthday week. We love you Autumn!

We gave Autumn her presents from us on her birthday and quickly had cupcakes before Brian had to get to his night class.

She has the cutest looks!
She had fun trying to figure out how to unwrap the presents! She tried to bite one of the presents to unwrap it.

I don't think she got any cake! She stuck to the icing, well I guess I should say it stuck to her!

This was the little party we had with Brian's family. I think the older girls had more fun opening the presents than Autumn did! ;)

Halloween 2009

Trying to get 5 kids 4 and under is difficult! They all had fun! Kaylynn was Princess Belle, and Madison was a cute little Flower!
Our little Autumn Owl!
Fly Away!!!

Cousins! We were at Grandma and Grandpa Keeley's for some yummy treats. Lily is the Little Mermaid, Cloey is Cinderella, and Nuava is a Ballerina/Fairy.
This is my favorite family picture! I have to say, I think I have a pretty fantastic family!



Trip to Utah

The Keeley boys and dad built a ramp for Becky so she can get in and out of the house much easier with her new wheelchair. The picture below is of the crazy strong Jonny lifting the ramp all by his lonesome! Go Jonny!!
Cloey loves Aunt Becky! This is Cloey trying to be like her and wheeled herself over to Becky. she thought she was super cool!
Lily, Cloey, Nauva and Danielle getting some energy out and enjoying playing with each other!

So this year has been pretty rough for especially Brian's side of the family. There has been a lot of loss. The latest was Brian's Grandpa Ballard. We took a trip to Utah to celebrate his life. We know that he is so happy now to be reunited with Grandma Ballard who passed away 6 months previous. We stayed with Grandma and Grandpa Keeley and enjoyed seeing family. We just wish it was under different circumstances.
