Growing so fast!


These kids are growing like crazy! I can't believe Cole is already 6 months old, and turning into a little blondie! Alice is so full of personality as you can see from many of her photos. She is still loving to spend any moment she can outside! Time is flying by and we are totally loving and enjoying these cute little ones!

The Cabin
We spent one night over Memorial Day weekend at my parents cabin. All the Calton cousins were there (except the China Calton's of course!) We had so much fun!


It's pictures like this that I love... but also make my heart just ache even more than it already does, wishing Ashley was here with us. Hannah is about the same age as Ash and they were really close. Hannah and Alice are great buddies, and I am so grateful for this!

I was having fun just taking pictures of the kids around the house the other day and here are some fun shots. This first one is so funny to me and depicts what every day life is like with these two! Alice entertaining Cole with her fun personality!

Memorial Day
This is the 3rd Memorial Day since Ashley left this earth! Crazy to think so much time has gone by. We are so grateful to feel so much peace when we visit the cemetery. We miss our little princess like crazy, and can't wait to see her again!
We were sitting here on Memorial Day and Paul's brother shows up with his family, then a few minutes later his sister and her kids! What a surprise, and how fun that we all came at the same time! It was so fun to sit around Ashley's headstone and just hang out and talk for awhile.

They are BOTH getting so big! They are also both getting more and more cute! I can see a lot of Ashley in Alice. I'm sure that sometimes that makes it even harder. We really should get together again soon!

Man, the oldest boy in that middle picture looks just like Dave! I don't know if it's Dave's son or not, but it sure looks like him! What a good lookin' bunch of cousins!

You are such a wonderful mother and feel so blessed to be friends with you! The pictures were great of Alice and Cole. We are going to have fun doing sports with the boys. We can eat treats while they play!And maybe by then Alice and Izzie won't be spitting their food into our hands! :) LOL
