Merry Christmas...

I know I know...I am a horrible blogger but We would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas

Fall is in the air...how i love football season

Its that time of year again....i just love saturdays with my family! Its a Family tradition to go over to Adam's Granny's house to watch the game....eat...and have fun. It's not the same as it was in the past with Grandaddy being gone but we still make the best of it. This is a few snap shots i took in maybe 5 minutes before eating and kick off!

isn't the picture below the cutest 3 red heads you have ever seen? Wow, Alana we have some precious kids!

the youngest turns one...

Wow, I can't believe Harper Leslie is one now. This makes me so sad to think my baby girl is already one. The just grow too fast. Well, when Harper was younger...I so thought she was going to be my laid back, easy going baby. Boy, was I wrong. She is just the opposite. She gets more like her big sister everyday. They are both full of "red headed attitude" You have no clue unless you have a red head yourself. Hahaha! I wouldn't have it any other way though to be honest. She is always so a happy baby and always keeps her momma laughing. As far as milestones go at one: she is walking, saying a few words, and coloring now. Yes, coloring...they do that at daycare.

Below are some pictures from her birthday party that we had at our house. 1st and last party at my house...might I add. Lets just say it was an outside water party until an Alabama Summer Thunderstorm decided it wanted to hit 770 Glenn Chapel.

She didnt get too messy with the cake...which i am soft of glad because her cake tasted awesome. Mommy and Daddy finished it off!

Harper and Henley....they love each other so much. Henley aggravates Harper to death and is pretty rough with her. I just hope Henley knows her time is coming. Its just a matter of time before Harper will be able to attack....she already slaps her but Henley just thinks she's playing.

Adam's mom and I made all the ladybug cupcakes and a friend made the cake...all so cute!

An outfit and bow she got from Lisa, Glazer, and lil' J Man! So So precious!

4th of July Weekend

We had such a great weekend for the 4th! On Monday when I went shopping to buy Harper some much needed clothes (chunky monkey) Adam took them on an adventure. First stop was the thrift store. Adam said Henley had so much fun looking in there. He bought both girls overalls that are a wee too small...hhahaa! He then took them to random places in Gardendale to take their pictures. They look a little homely but still turned out great. Adam said Harper really didnt cooperate which is so funny because its usually the other way around. Anyway, below are a few of those pictures!

Sunday, we went to church then over to my moms for some yummy food...wow was it good? I am so blessed with a wonderful Mom! After getting our tummy's full we headed over to Big Kev and Kelcys to swim a little bit. My girls love the water. Harper has no fear...Henley loves any pool besides the one at swim lessons for some strange reason.

We also took a trip to the lake. Alana and I decided we would be brave and go without Granny and Grandaddy.....of course we would have boat trouble! That cut our trip a little short but didnt cut out on any of the fun. We love our lake trips and so do the kiddos!

wow...long time no blog

So, I haven't blogged in forever. I have just been so busy. I just don't have enough hours in the day to get everything done i want to do. Here are a few pictures from our beach trip back in june! We had so much fun and no oil stopped us!

Henley is such a big girl...so not a baby anymore. She will be 4 in September...that is so hard to believe! She is such a mess and she makes me laugh constantly!

Me and my beautiful girls! I have been blessed far beyond what i deserve!

Our attempt at a family picture.....Henley just wasn't feeling it! (surprise surprise)

these three were the cutest redheads on the beach ever! They had so much fun playing together during our trip!

Baby Dedication...

I love how our church does Baby Dedication on Mother's Day. It makes it so special. Harper was a little snotty but was still in a very good mood. She played patty cake and talked the whole time. I am not even sure what all Brother Doug said. I tried to put her passy in her mouth at one point and she threw it almost off the stage and just started babbling again. Henley was so funny....she just didnt understand the Baby Dedication. The question "why?" was asked many many times. Harper wore the same dress that Henley was dedicated in. Pure Cuteness!

no matter how much I try...

Seriously, I can NEVER get these pictures to post in the order that I want to. Anywho, over the weekend I did a couple of photo shoots and tried to get some good pictures for mother's day presents....it's just around the corner! Anyway, below is Natalie, our 16yr old niece that we never see. I got a couple of her before she got in her car and drove away....so scary! She is beautiful and looks just like her mommy!

This picture was taken for Adam's mom. Not great but wow, have you ever tried to get a picture of 3 small kids before....let me rephrase that....3 small red headed kids. (At least they aren't crying or throwing grass on each other)

This one is for my mom.....i think she will LOVE it! Cheyenne and Kev are getting so big. I just love them to death!

Now to Harper....she is 8 months old and getting ready to crawl. She's not crawling just yet but she is on the move....she finds alternate ways of transportation. As most of you probably know...she has battled ear infections since about 2 months old.....well after tubes and 2 cultures taken of the drainage...they think they have it figured out. She is a yeast producer and producing yeast in her ears. So for the past 6 months, we have been fueling the ear infections by giving her antibiotics and antibiotic drops in her ears. We have taken her off of everything and now dropping lotromin (sp?) drops in her ears. Just a side note....$3.00 over the counter....don't even want to begin saying how much we have spent on medication. We are praying this will solve her problem. Anyway, below are pictures of my baby girls at the Magnolia Festival. We had so much fun.

Pony Rides....she loved them

Henley amazed me riding the ponies, all the carnival rides, and even catching a catfish in the catfish tank. She was so funny. She asked us if she could come back another day and do all of that.

Also, I will be taking pictures soon of her and her new to her swing set. My brother called and said Cheyenne had agreed to give the girls her swing set if we wanted to come get it. I was like "Heck yeah" I mean its a Rainbow Swing Set for those of you with kids. She thinks its the best thing in the world. She goes to sleep talking about it and wakes up talking about it. Its just too funny!
