Happy 6th Birthday Ashley Grace!

Ashley celebrated her 6th birthday! Happy Birthday Ashley Grace! We love you baby girl.

Andrew and his choo choo

Andrew's new passion...his Thomas the Train choo choo!

The WIGgles

We were goofing around trying on wigs and Andrew was getting into it, too! He was hilarious! Ashley was pretty funny too!

TV Land day at school

This week is spirit week at school and today they were supposed to dress like any character from 'old' tv shows. Danae is from Grease and Hope is Shirley Temple (can't you tell? hehe).

Who me?

The other morning mommy came downstairs and found me sitting on the couch with my face looking like this. Danae had made brownies and I found a spoon! I was caught red handed!


Big Aunt Nene came to see me from Chicago and here's a picture of me and her playing with the Noah's Ark stickers she brought me. It was fun! We love you Big Aunt Nene!

Badman Girls...

Just a picture of the Badman girls walking in to church. Aren't they so pretty? Their mama sure thinks so! I love you girls!!! I need to get Andrew a blue shirt and black pants to match. hehe

Happy Thanksgiving!!

We went to a town near Charlotte, NC to visit our dear friends, the Kirchers, and had a great time. We had a wonderful dinner together (which I forgot to take pictures of), had a blast 4 wheeling in their back yard (forest) and even got to go to a zoo that we rode a horse and wagon through. It was an absolute blast! Thank you Kirchers, we love you! Hope you were all able to have a very special Thanksgiving. Here are some of our pictures from our trip.

Happy 2nd Birthday Andrew and Happy Birthday Nana!

Andrew and Nana celebrated their birthdays together since they are just one day and 60 years apart!

Getting ready to blow out his two candles!

He just woke up from his nap and was quite a little ham for all the pictures.
Don't you love Ashley's smile?
Getting a ride on the back of his new Lightning McQueen bike that his sisters have taken over.

Here Andrew is playing with all his favorite new toys...his "Cars" cars (thank you Nana and Papa!), his Thomas the Train (thank you Maddie and Uncle Matt and Aunt Kelly!), and his new "wewow butt" (yellow bus) (thank you Grandma and Grandpa!). He loves all his new toys.

Brynn and Danielle have arrived!

We have two new additions to our family all within one weekend! Holly's brother Jake and his wife Shannon had their first baby on Friday, Nov. 14th. Danielle Olivia was born and she was 6lbs 14 oz. She is gorgeous! They are all doing well and we cannot wait to see them!

Then, three days later on Monday morning November 17th, Noelle (Holly's sister) and George, had their first baby. Another girl! Brynn Elizabeth was born Nov. 17th at home and she weighed 7lbs 2oz. Both babies were born on their due dates, which is quite remarkable! Noelle and George and Brynn are doing great and she is so beautiful.

We are overwhelmed by God's goodness to us and His new additions to our family. We are so in love already and cannot wait to see what God has in store for us in our future!

Happy 14th Birthday Danae!

For Danae's birthday, we took Danae, Hope and two of Danae's friends, Amanda and Victoria Gracey, to get Danae's hair cut and then went to lunch at Cracker Barrel. Then mommy surprised them and took them to a corn maze in Zellwood for something new and different! At first the girls weren't too excited about it, but once they got into it, they loved it! Then we came home and had a nice family dinner with Grandma and Grandpa, Nana and Papa, Nene and Maddie. Danae got the camera that she was dreaming of! Happy Birthday Danae! We love you so much, big girl.

The Three Amigas!

Ashley, Hannah and Lexi, the three amigas. Lexi gave these adorable little best friend jackets to each of the girls and they even have their names embroidered on the back! So cute. Thanks Lexi!

Anna's glasses!

Anna had been squinting at school to see the whiteboard at the front of the classroom, so we took her to the eye doctor and she is slightly nearsighted (20/50) and had a stigmatism in each eye, so she needs glasses. She only has to wear them as she feels she needs them, but she really likes them. She can see much more clearly now and she looks so cute in them!!

Kayaking on the lake

We bought a kayak for the lake and here are a few pictures of Danae and Andrew on it. Andrew liked to lay down in it and relax while taking a ride. It's fun and all the girls enjoy it. It's been sooo beautiful outside and this is a great way to still enjoy the lake even though it's too cold to swim. Come on over and use it anytime!

Happy Fall!

All the Badman babies with their carved pumpkins.

(that they designed all by themselves!)

Anna scooping out pumpkin seeds and Ashley being helpful by stirring them.


Danae and Hope felt they needed to wash out the insides of their pumpkins with soap and then pour hand sanitizer inside them. At least they were having fun!

Tired boys!

So tired after all the pumpkin carvin!

The Badman Family

We have decided to start our own blog for our family and friends to be able to check in on us easily. And it gives mama another opportunity to brag on her babies!
