I love this picture...Kaylin is almost one. When we came to visit, Danen walked around with her all through the house. She loved him!
This was at my first family reunion with the Clarkes. Danen and Brandon were our little shadows the whole time...we had bubble gum wars, tried making towers in the water with Travis on bottom, then Danen, then me...and built sand drip castles.
I love this picture too. Danen has the white blonde hair and the other boy is Travis when he was around 12 yrs old.
We took Brad and Vicki's golf cart down to the heart of Peachtree City for the Parade. Above is at our spot! The kids got loads of candy. Kaylin learned that the more you wave and smile, the more candy they throw! She was quick to catch the candy, but also quick to share with Ethan and Savannah who were next to her...and not as quick. :) 
Aidrian was awake and alert at first, it was cooler in the morning and she loved looking around. Above, she's showing her muscles! ;) Below is Kaylin and Savannah waiting for the parade to start. Isn't she so patriotic?! (she picked out all her decor for her b-day...)
My cousin Rachel and her cute fam (Jason, Brighton and Abigail) came down to spend the weekend with us! We had a blast with them!
Brighton, Kaylin, Savannah and Ethan in the 4th of July spirit!
Kaylin Marie is now 5 years old!!! So crazy to think! I look at Aidrian and can't believe just 5 short years ago, Kaylin was as tiny as her. (probably tinier!)
We had a fun little birthday gathering. Rachel and her fam were with us, as well as Mom and Dad, Angie and her cute friend Autumn joining us at the Butlers house, also celebrating our friend Jeff's birthday with his brother's fam too. It was one full house, but we had a great time. Had a yummy BBQ, cupcakes for the birthdayers and swimming all afternoon.
I'd say she was one happy birthday girl!
I thought this was a cute picture of Aidrian. Yes, she does always look a little worried, that's her classic look. But it's a cute one regardless!
Ang got her goggles for the pool now that she's a fish and swims pretty well these days. She was very excited!
Lily decorating herself with a wrapping paper bow all decked out for the 4th of July!
Travis doing a trick called a gainer. The pool was so refreshing and nice to have a private pool. Thanks Butlers!
Brad and Vicki (Travis' parents) live right on Lake Peachtree and their neighbors have a great grassy backyard that goes right up to the lake. Just over to our left is where they light off the fireworks. It's really amazing!!!
Aidrian was awake at first and would blink at every firework. She got hungry so she soon fell asleep for the rest of the show. Ethan had fallen asleep even before the show started! And he stayed that way all night! Kaylin loved the show! She'd clap and yell "Whooo" when she liked one. We talked about the colors and different sounds they make. 
I'd say we are doing pretty good, but it is very tiring. I've forgotten how hard it is to find sleep with a newborn and having two others doesn't make it any better, but I wouldn't trade them for the world.
The kids still adore her, worry about her, kiss her, smother her, and are always willing to help me out. Some people say she looks like Travis, some say me, some say Kaylin and others say Ethan, so my conclusion is that she has her own little look and that she looks like another little clarkey baby.
Here's Mel holding Aidrian.
and my friend Kenda...

Me and my sweet babes...
Grandpa holding Aidrian...she's totally passed out!
Now I have to mention that while we were there, it starting raining cats and dogs! The wind started blow--little did we realize how hard it was actually blowing! Angie, Rachel and I were staring out the window commenting on swaying trees when one actually snapped and went down. I'm not talking a small tree by any means, it was a huge one right by mom and dad's deck. It went to the left and took many trees down with it! Thankfully it did not fall into the house, that would have been devastating! It was amazing!
