IN-LAWS VISIT

It was SO much fun having GG, Pops and Gramps with us this past week. I wish I had taken more photos but I did capture a few sweet ones of the cousins having fun.


"You Scream, We Scream, We ALL Scream for Ice Cream". THANK YOU POPS!!!

Granty Pants stops to take a break from our walk around Opry Land.

Em, Mar and Isa at our traditional Cracker Barrel visit. Emery walks up to Marley and says "Come on I have to tell you something over here". So Marley follows her clear around the tables to the opposite side where Emery is sitting. Then Em says, "Come sit by me." I thought that was so sweet. Love those cousins.

Jackson's First Haircut

The before shot after we walked into Snip-its, a kids hair cutting place. I like to try to make the first hair cut special by going somewhere fun. And since Jackson is a little over 2 1/2, I figured it was time.


Not too sure about this, but he has a sucker so all will be well.


Hmmm, this isn't too bad!


Yes. I think I like sitting in this high chair and being pampered for a few minutes. :)


I made it! Phewwww. Now he get's to get his prize for being so good!



I am a bit late in getting these on here, but I couldn't let it slip by me, they are too cute not to share. He loved sitting up on that big chair and getting a sucker. He felt so proud! And I was proud of him. But the best news of the day was that he didn't loose his curls! They stayed! I love my sweet little man!

HELLO!!! I was going through my photos today ( trying to organize ) and realized I haven't shared any since before the Holidays.


Liam and Cole looking so handsome wearing matching outfits without meaning to.


Morgan keeping Marley warm....she just adores you!


I LOVE how Cole posses....this seems to be his favorite and I think HE ROCKS because of it!!


Sweet Love Birds. I love seeing you two together....so much love and respect for one another.


Morgan, kids always love to snuggle up to you ( especially your own I'm sure ) you have such gentle compassion with them.


Marley and Meredith being best friends. I really love capturing photos of kids holding hands their my FAVORITE!


Granty pants hitchin a ride on Daddys shoulders at the Zoo.

I LOVE YOU ALL. XOXO

Austin

May I just say, it has been my privilege to watch Austin these past few months. He is so fun and just loves to share his smiles and his bump into you head-hugs. He has grown so much these last few months. He is communicating and talking and playing so well. He loves anytime we go outside. He cracks me up with his Mo-om and his sit down pout when he doesn't get what he wants. He loves to climb up on laps for a snuggle and the man on the ground is fair game for a wrestling match. We are so lucky to have him around. He is constantly asking for Isabelle and Cole. He loves fruit and crackers and string cheese. He has an amazing capacity for getting his shoes on the right feet every time! It really is a talent. He still loves to play with Isabelle's shoes, but just found Liam's cars and has been playing full board with the cars all week. Here are a few photos of Austin from our snow day and our zoo visit!!

The Pioneer Woman

Last month I got to meet a sweet, sweet lady named Ree. Ree is the Pioneer Woman. If you haven't fallen in love with her blog and website, you have to check it out. She is hilarious and really boosts my spirits some days when I need a good laugh. Mandy was so awesome to come with me. Two pregnant mamas, two unhappy bellies, two excited ladies. Thank you Mandy for coming with me and sticking with me the whole time we had to wait our turn. It was a long time, but for me it was worth it and I am very thankful for your sacrifice. You're the bestest ever! So here are the pictures (way past due) from that fun night!!


Here she is signing someone's book.


Yay! She was SO super sweet!




This is her best friend and her sister Betsy. They were beautiful too!

By the way, after these pictures were taken, my camera totally stopped working. I know it held out for me so I could document that I did meet The Pioneer Woman, but then I had to pay 170 bucks to fix it. Darn it! :) All's well now though.

Beautiful ladies and handsome little men!

We went to the Opryland hotel and had a ball. I wanted to get some cute photos of the kids in teir outfits. There are a few extras of Emery. I loved how excited she was to see all the decorations! So sweet! Anyway, enjoy!







GG and Pops, Thank you for our fun Christmas clothes. We got so many compliments and the kids love them. Emery thought her dress was made for flying and flapped all over the Opryland hotel. Isa danced and played the lady and Liam and Colin just enjoyed their playtime. We love you and miss you. July can't get here fast enough!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! We love you all! Thank you for the blessing of a wonderful year full of family and fun. We are so blessed because we are loved by each of you. Thank you!
