I took her picture she is just over a month old more like two I think. she is just the cuties. Chandler said"Mae like to go swing." she loves her big brothers. she act like she did she he got her and went over to the swing set. I went to play with the guys. Chase laugh as I get the ball and nobody made a pass on me. they know I don't like falling. then Colt took the ball back. I laugh as Chase grab my waist and place his hands on my hips. Sam said"come on you too don't start with that." Chase smile and kiss me and took off to get the ball from our son. then we went to lunch at Arby's. the guys got water.
