Millie’s Three Year Pics|Brooks’ 18 Month Pics ;)

Our pretty little girl is growing up and just turned three,

so you know what that means….lots of pictures for you and me!

Hop on over to my blog to check the rest out!!!!

Here are some updated pics of Brooks too! I found this neat location and snapped a few of Brooks while we were checking it out!! As many of you know I have a obsession with old rusty trucks and it just so happened that we found another one!!!

Rodeo Fun with the Family!!!

Rodeo Fun with the Family!!!

So we decided this weekend kinda spur of the moment to grab the kiddo’s and head to the rodeo!! Yee-ha!! It was so much fun and the kids loved seeing all the cows and horses. Millie loved the rodeo clowns the best though!! Imagine that, I was voted my high school senior “class clown” back in 1999. ;) I guess I could always go into the rodeo if my other dreams don’t pan out?!

Anyways, we had a bunch of fun and you know we had to all share a funnel cake, some boiled peanuts and some fresh squeezed lemonade!! Mmmm, mmm good!!

(Please excuse the poor phone quality of these pictures)

Fun Babysitting!!!!

Fun Babysitting!!!!

I kept Reagan a while ago and forgot I had snapped a few pictures of them together!!! We played outside, played with dolls, ate some lunch and watched TinkerBell! I am so glad that Millie has Reagan to grow up with and I am especially glad that Brooke and I can help each other out with kids if need be! It’s nice to have a friend close by that I can count on and vice versa!!! Brooke, I’m looking forward to keeping Reagan again for your Birthday and Anniversary!!! Lots of Love to the Gilmore Girls!!!!!!!

These were taken on Millie’s actual Birthday…April 4th! Daddy called to tell Millie he was bringing her home a present…….

Birthday Hugs for Millie…..

Please excuse the pile of folded laundry in the background…  ;)

Thank you Stephen for being such a good “girl dad”!

This weekend we were going to have Millie a Tinkerbell Birthday Party with all of her friends and cousins, but she came down with the stomach bug on Thursday. We decided to cancel her party and reschedule it. Poor thing has been saying her tummy hurts for 3 days now and hasn’t eaten more than a few bites here and there. Last weekend Mimi, Pop, Mema and Griffin all came down for the weekend to celebrate Millie’s birthday which was wonderful. We had her cousins JC and Benton and Aunt Taylor and Uncle John over on Saturday for dinner and play time! Millie is one loved little girl and blessed to have such a wonderful family! Thanks everyone for making her feel so special!

STILL IN OUR JAMMIES KINDA DAY!

STILL IN OUR JAMMIES KINDA DAY!

Not much to write about today……just out enjoying this wonderful day! We’ve all been sick the last 2-1/2 weeks with either the ugly stomach bug, coughs, colds and allergies. I’m just ready for everyone to be healthy again. Maybe this 2nd round of antibiotics the kids are on will get rid of their aweful cough! We have watched Tinkerbell at least 20 times in the past 3 days! These are the days of my life, right?!

****On another note, please be praying for my brother Justin and sister-n-law Meghan to have a good delivery this week! Baby Hayden is due any day now! I’m so excited I will finally get to meet this little miracle we’ve all been praying for the last year! ****

Superbowl Sunday!

Superbowl Sunday!

We just finished watching the Superbowl and I am exhausted from a long weekend but I wanted to share a few fun pictures from the weekend! Just a sidenote for any of you who look for updated pics of the kids, Millie who used to love to ham it up for the camera has developed a little case of “photographers child syndrome” she refuses to look at me when I have my camera in hand. Perhaps its also a good reminder to me that all pictures don’t have to be perfect. She’s mine, she’s healthy and sweet and full of energy and although technically these are not fabulous, they are still my babies totally unscripted and unposed which I love!  So what I am saying is don’t forget to pick up your camera and take some snapshots of your children and hubby. After all, they don’t have to be perfect! Happy Shooting!




Some Fun in the Snow #2

Some Fun in the Snow #2

So three post in one day! Well, I told you faithful readers (all 2 of you) and you know who you are, that I would be giving this blog some TLC! ;) So here is a glimpse of our fun out in the snow! The number one best thing about having a steep driveway is great sledding! We spent hours outside with Millie (and Brooks when he wasn’t sleeping) going up and down up and down! We had the best time and I hate to say it but I kinda hope we get some more snow this year! That week of being snowed in was the best vacation I’ve had in a while! We were so lucky we kept power which made it that much better! Hot cocoa, warm fires, movies, all my favorite people in the world! Praying we get “snowed in” again!

About to make some snow cream! If you have never made it you MUST! It’s the perfect snack after a fun day in the snow!

This and that ’round here!
