Catch Up Post #1-Easter

Our blog has had little activity lately. There was a combination of reasons for our absence, but those reasons have been remedied. We will now attempt to play "catch up" with all the Turley moments we missed.

 

First off: Easter!

 

We got the chance to celebrate three different Easter celebrations with our family. First was a special Easter brunch and Easter Egg hunt at the Wigwam with Grandpa and Grandma Turley.

 

 

There were a lot of people there, but we had a blast!

 

Second, Easter dinner with Grammy, Papa and cousins...along with another Easter egg hunt. 

 

Easter morning finding their baskets!

Lastly, egg dying and hunt with our Mimi. Tessa seemed to be the only one with the patience to dye eggs. (And Daddy and Mimi of course)

Nate was too busy "cleaning" the pool.

 He is always so fascinated by it!

We hope everyone had a wonderful Easter celebrating the resurrection of our Savior!

Happy 4th!

I know I am very far behind in sharing all the current Turley happenings around here. But I wanted to take quick second to wish everyone a Happy 4th! 

 We are so happy to have increased the American population by one this year! 

PS: I promise I will update all our summer happenings soon! 

Just A Dress

A while ago I came across a very special picture. The pictures were of a little girl wearing her mother's wedding dress. It was such a precious picture. I knew that if I was ever blessed with a daughter, I was going to recreate that special picture myself. 

A few years later, I am now the mother of a spunky little four year old. She is so precious in so many ways...I know, I might be a little bias. 

So I decided to give it a try...and here are the results!

 I heard one person suggest to keep these pictures secret until your daughter's wedding day....but how could I keep these secret???

 I'm not sure if my Big T will ever choose to where my dress on her special day, but I will always have such a sweet remembrance of her in my dress with these photos. 

Thank you for giving me these priceless pictures Tessa!

Thanks also goes to the photographer, Emily, who did a fantastic job! 

A New Cousin

Last week, my sister welcomed her 6th precious life into this world. We are happy to introduce our newest cousin, Isaac Samuel Morgan!

We wish we could squeeze you!

Happy World Down Syndrome Day!

Happy World Down Syndrome Day!

We are so lucky to get to love this little guy, who is rockin' his extra chromosome!

23 Birthday Blessings

Today we celebrate my mom's 60th birthday. She is loved by so many, and a treasured grandmother to 23 precious grandkids!

Happy Birthday Mom! We love you!

New Family Photos

In July 2012, we were fortunate to get these beautiful pictures taken of our family. 

This past month we were able to update our family photos with the same photographer. Things have changed a bit, don't you think?

We are very pleased with how they turned out! 

Enjoy!
