Clare attended her first Prom, as a Junior, at the end of April. She was absolutely stunning in her Teal Dress, with gorgeous jewels, and pinned up hair! 28 kids headed over to Clare's friend, Sara's, house for pictures and dinner! After dinner, they were picked up my a stretch hummer limo, which dropped them off at the Cotillion for Prom! All the gals were gorgeous, and all the guys, just dapper! 

Take a look!

Summer, Summer, Summer Time!

OH MY....I haven't updated since EASTER! Sheesh!!!!

Well, Parker Dean had his eye surgery about a week and a half ago, and is just truckin right along! After getting home from the surgery, he took a nice long nap, woke up for some medicine and a bottle, and decided it was party, play time! He was such a trooper and did absolutely fabulous. His eyes are still red, which will last for a few months even, until he is completely healed. Thank goodness, he loves me, because I think I cried more than he did!

He is now rolling all over the place, and even starting to attempt a scoot! We just can't believe his progress in these few short months! He is a stud!

Brady Taylor will be baptized this evening! We are so excited to share this special moment with Aly and Tyler and our families. Brady continues to grow and grow and has really gotten into smiling! Although, his momma can't wait to hear his first giggle, his sweet grin will do for now. He has already reached his 2 month mark, and had his shots earlier this week. Mom and Dad, said he was a pro and didn't give the nurse too much lip for stinging him in his legs!

We are very excited for Memorial Day Weekend! We are blessed that we have family coming in from a few states to get together and just enjoy the weekend together. We will have family from Utah, Colorado, and Texas!!! Our family from Hutchinson will also be joining us! What a fun, fun weekend we have ahead of us!

Here are a few pictures for you all to enjoy!

 Snoozing after our surgery!

Evening after surgery, we are PRETTY red!

We have socks on our hands for mittens, and we think its funny!

Cousinly love! Parker did NOT want to let go of Brady!

All our love,

Ashlyn & Parker, Aly & Brady

Catch up time!!!

Well we've been very busy in the Edwards/Johnson household, between the boys' appointments, Clare's work/baseball managing/school activities, around the house activities, sicknesses, etc...Its been a wee bit silly here!

We had a very HOPPY Easter, (other than our really crusted noses), but were able to pose the boys for a few pictures!

Parker Dean's 1st Easter!

 Sweet Brady on his 1st Easter!

Only decent photo of them together...Parker loves to get his hands on Brady! 

Parker is trying to get over a sickness that we have now almost gone through our full 3rd week. The doctor put him on an antibiotic, so hopefully that will kick out the rest of his gunk! He has continued to show improvement in his mobility, just hasn't quite gotten down, sitting up on his own yet! We also got news, Monday-that he will be needing the eye surgery to help correct his "eye floating". We have another consultation soon...so stay tuned for updates on that! :)

Having some fun with our picture book!

Brady continues to be sweeter than ever and just continues to do what newborns do best! He has really starting smiling tons and loves looking at his momma! He took his first trip to the zoo with his mom and and some friends! I think he has a pretty great time!

Jayden and Brady at the Zoo!

This past weekend we went for a "girls" weekend (Clare had to work) and the babies, to the Lake! We had such a wonderful time, visiting Great-Grandma Carolyn and she LOVED getting to squeeze on the boys! We have such wonderful memories of the Cabin with Grandma and Grandpa, we hope to cherish the last few with the boys! 

A couple views of the Lake and the Cabin

Cheers! Yummy spaghetti dinner, a usual favorite! 

On the way home, we saw these fine fellas!

Parker Dean in his booster seat, ready for some chow!

Nap time and another gorgeous view!

This coming weekend we'll be celebrating Aly's 22nd birthday and Clare's first Prom! Pictures to come!

Ashlyn & Parker, Aly & Brady

The Busy Bees

We have been quite the busy bees lately! Seems like we haven't had much time to sit and relax, but we'd rather be busy, than not! Parker and I did the MS walk this past Saturday and had a blast! It was so much fun to get together with my girlfriends, as well as some of their babies!
That evening, we had some girlfriends over to enjoy the KU game and boy did we enjoy that win!!! Our good friends, Katie and Brylie Bussing came home from Kansas City, to hang out for the weekend. These were our first attemps at some photos along with a good one!

 Brady, Parker, and Brylie....not too sure about cooties...

 Nom nom nom, that's what cousin's heads are for!

Look MA! I have feet!

Best Friend Katie, getting some loving from Brady Taylor!

 The first of MANY posed Hawk gear pictures!

Seriously! Get those things AWAY FROM ME!!! 

Very sad to say the Jayhawks did not go on to win the National Championship but man were we pumped we had a reason to watch it this year! So fun to say and to remember that the boys' 1st March Maddness, our Hawks took second! Awesome!!!

Brady has continued to heal since his little incident and has done so with some pretty sweet, big boy pants on! He is just such a joy to all of us, even after his owies! We can't imagine life without him! He is becoming so much more alert and aware of what is around him. He definitely LOVES to be outside!

Aly-gator and her baby gator.

Rock Chalk Jayhawk!

Smilin' and snugglin' with his lamb.

Hanging on for a ride in his swing!

Again, these mamas, got the babies out a ran a few errands a few days ago. Here is a picture of our outtings to Old Navy and Target! One baby in the top, one baby in the bottom!

This week, Parker's allergies have really become a problem for him! With a scheduled check up already in place, it made Momma's worries go down a bit, and we hope the meds kick in here soon! Last night was a long one, and we hope for his sake (and mine) he starts feeling better soon! 

After a bath, just hanging out in his boppy!

 Parker Dean- 7 months old! 19.8 lbs, and REALLY long. 

Mommy and Daddy CAN'T believe he's in a big boy seat already! 

 Our outdoor baby! Loves being outside!

Easter is this weekend, so we hope to have a beautiful Sunday spending time with the family and our sweet bubbas! 

With Love, 

Ashlyn & Parker, Aly & Brady
