ALL Girl!!!

Last week we found out that we are going to be having another girl added to our family!!!  James and I had both planned on this one being a girl, since girls just seem to run in the Crawford family.  We are very excited.  I had to smile after telling my mother-in-law that we were having another girl.  She's convinced we will eventually have a boy.  I had to tell her that we will probably be done at four kids, and it would be a miracle if we have five.  She then responded "Well, God is a God of miracles!"!!  I couldn't help but laugh, so who knows, maybe eventually we'll get a boy.  For the time being, we are LOVING our little girls!!

Lately Kayla's favorite word has been pink.  It seems that everything she touches or points to is pink and if you want to make her happy just say it's pink.  She is our pretty pink princess!!  The best is when I give Amelia and Kayla their red plates for breakfast and Amelia will say, look Kayla, they're pink.  Then she'll say, "Well, their red, but we'll just pretend their pink!".  In fact we often pretend things are pink for Kayla, it's great fun!

So here are some fun pictures of the girls. This one is of them dancing as they watch themselves on the TV screen at the children's museum.

Here are my little swimmers!!  Kayla puts on her swimsuit pretty much every day, whether or not we go swimming.  They also love their sun goggles!

Father's Day James decided it would be fun to build a Lego temple, so here is our first attempt.  James made an upgraded version later, but I don't have pictures yet.

Here's my girl's in the cockpit, they love playing in the airplane at the children's museum

Kayla's new favorite place to play is in our van.  I think she could spend a lot of time there playing if we would let her.

So grateful to have two amazing little girls.  They have grown up so much and I feel so fortunate that they play so well together.  I'm going to have two GREAT helpers when this next little princess joins us!!

Funny Video

When Kayla was just starting to walk Amelia would put her on a blanket and drag her around the house.  It was pretty cute to watch the two of them play.  Then today as I was looking for pictures for Kayla's first birthday I found this video we had taken back in March.  Watch and listen closely to see what happens to Amelia.  James and I got a pretty good laugh.  Hope you enjoy!

Kayla Turning 1

In May we celebrated Kayla's FIRST birthday!! It is amazing how quickly time has changed. Kayla came into our lives at a very crazy time. I'll never forget being in St. George at my sister's house when the contractions started. I had been having a single contraction almost every night for a while, but when a second came shortly after the first, I knew our little lady was on her way. She came at a challenging time for us since James was still in the wheelchair and we were praying all would work out so we could make the move here to Mississippi. It's amazing how Kayla has come into our family with such ease, she truly was a perfect baby and continues to be...and now she's looking more like a toddler! What a joy she has been in our lives. She is so easy going and chill, but she has definitely learned to defend herself from Amelia's onslaughts. Oh, her smile, with her beautiful eye's, just melts your heart!! What a wonderful addition she has been to our family!! So in tribute to Kayla here's a quick photo glimpse of the past year! Happy Birthday Kayla!!
