Girls, Girls everywhere!

What is in the water? The McReynolds family has grown by leaps and bounds in the past 13 months with the addition of 3 girls! No boys yet to speak of (and no, I don't plan on contributing any more to our number). There are females everywhere you look these days. Good thing they are all so cute!

Leah having some lap time with Mamaw McReynolds. Notice the smile. She now smiles every time we say cheese. Cute!

Alena showing off her pink princess ensemble. Sarah was impressed!



These two have become fast friends. They are so intrigued by one another. The amazing thing is that even though they are only three months apart, they will be in different grades. Leah will be in the same grade as baby Aubrey.



Alena came by for a little play time and stayed for lunch. Yum!
Love the piggy tales.


What a cutie!




Getting three girls to pose for this photo became somewhat of a challenge.

Nope, still not getting it.

Oh well, I guess I get points for trying.

The new star of the show.. baby Aubrey. Can you just hear the teen angst coming from the McReynolds household during holiday visits to the mountains in about 13 years? Yikes! No seriously, we are all blessed beyond measure and we love our girls.

Baby Aubrey arrives!

My neice Aubrey Fay McReynolds entered this world on July 23, 2010. What a beauty! This addition makes the grandchild count 4/ 0 in the girl to boy ratio. Mom says the girls can form a quarted some day. As expected, Aubrey arrived with a head full of dark hair. Believe it or not, not one single redhead in the bunch!

Welcome to the family sweet girl!


Pappaw shows off the new addition for the Coleman girls.

The proud grandparents.

Alena gets a look at her new baby sister. They are so close in age, they will never remember life without one another. What a bond they will have!

When she was born, she seemed to favor Jason, but as time has worn on, she looks more like Ashley every day.

Big sis doesn't know what she is in for. Time to share some toys :)

The new family of four. Congratulations Ashley and Jason!

We couldn't resist the chance to take a photo of Jason and my brood of four. Oh how holidays will change at Mamaw and Papaws!

God has richly blessed us with four healthy and beautiful baby girls!

Random thoughts (Missing summer already)

Boy am I going to miss summer! My fondest memories are of long hot days, nights catching lightening bugs, fireworks, and sharing watermelon with my Mamaw and Papaw on their back patio. For me, summer can't last long enough. Thanks to our new water feature, we have spent more time in the backyard this year than any year since we have lived in this house. I thought I would share a couple of action shots from all of the fun we have had, since today was our last 90 degree day in sight(sniff, sniff).


These two have been backyard play buddies all summer. Maura and Sarah have had so much fun in the pool and the bouncy house.



I love this action shot the most. It really shows the pure joy of childhood. Don't you miss it?


Our wonderful bouncy house. What a life saver this summer! We paid $0 for the public pool this year.
Sarah is so interested in gymnastics. She learned to do a cartwheel this summer.

Our neighbor, Laura blasts down the water slide. We will miss you so, summer!

More random thoughts...Check out the morning hair on my girlies. Sarah has stick straight hair, and since it has been shoulder length, it tends to look pretty good, even in the morning. Leah, on the other hand, has been "blessed" with her mommy's thick curly hair. I have been hesitating to get it cut, but it is now getting out of hand! It looks like she knows it in this photo. Ha!

It's too early in the morning for a photo shoot, Mom.



Crazy hair or not, she is a cutie petutie!
