More Cate

Grandpa

Cousin Kadance as she loves to say!

Cate wide awake at grandmas.

I get the pleasure of watching Cate on Mondays or Fridays so you can bet I will have many more posts of her as she grows.

Early Edition

Kristy's due date for BGBriles was March 19, I personally was hoping she would go early while Kadance and I were on spring break, well early we got.  Cate Ryan Briles was born March 1, at 11:14am. She was 5lb 12oz and 18 3/4 inches long. Kristy and Chad allowed me to be in the room while my niece was born. It was an amazing experinence and I glad I will have that special bond with the 3 of them.
Of course there are hundreds of photos but here are just a few.

On March 1, friends of ours, Ryan & Lisa Kirkpatrick, also welcome a baby boy, Jude Davidson, into their family.  Kristy and Lisa shared a Dr. and babies were born within 2 hours of each other.

Kadance Birthday Party, Round 2

Kadances' birthday is January 13, just less than 10 days from Christmas, which makes it hard to get her MORE stuff since she has barely broken open the toys she just received.  So we decided to be a bit more practical.  She has begun to like music her favorite artist including, Miley Cyrus aka Hannah Montana, Taylor Swift, and off course our house has been struck with Bieber Fever!!!

Pixos??? Apparently the must have item in Kindergarten this year!

And  a nice home-made cake to add to the collection of Hello Kitty cake from the prior party!!

(Her outfit and accessories are all gifts from her party.)

Baby, Baby, Baby Ohh

 I hosted a baby shower for my sister, Kristy, in January to welcome the arrival of "BGBriles." With the help of her friends and family it was a complete success. We had potato soup, chicken quesadilla soup, ham & turkey sandwiches, a cheesecake bar, and a party is not complete without Lois' punch. I had a lot of fun putting this together.
