Caroline's 1 year sneak peek!

Saturday evening Scott, Caroline and I met up with our sweet friend Rita Harris to brave the heat in order to do Caroline's 1 year photo shoot!  We packed up an ice chest with water, chilled towels and an iced down sippy cup of water.  I have to say that I was a little nervous on how well Caroline would hold up with this awful heat.  We met up at 6pm and by that time the temperature had gone down from 107 to a whoppin' 104!!  Ugh!!  Caroline has always been an amazing trooper no mater what we have thrown at her.  This time, she exceeded all past situations.  She blew my mind with her wonderful attitude and cooperation, until towards the end when I was sticking crocheted wool hats on her that she's modeling for a boutique.  We got 'em though with a little help from mommy's sonic drink! :) Here is a little sneak peek.  Thank you to our amazing photographer and friend Rita Harris!! Even though the heat was terrible, we had a lot of fun! Hope y'all enjoy! :)

Cutest Lil Aggie Ever!!!

Her 1st Birthday party is going to be a hoot!! :)

We love you sweet baby C!!!



11th Month update!!!

I'll keep this one short and sweet since my 12th month update will be quite lengthy I'm sure.

You aren't doing too many new things since my last update.  You have 4 teeth now, the second top one has just now pushed through. You have a huge gap between them and it's adorable. Those top teeth were not fun!  We also brush, brush, brush them!  You love to brush those teeth and smile and squeal when you see your pink dinosaur toothbrush and fruity flavored toothpaste.  It's so cute.  I hope you continue on this path of loving bath time and brushing teeth and hair.

You still aren't walking on your own yet.  I can sometimes get a step or two out of you, but for the most part you still like to hang on to mommy and daddy's fingers for support.  You do however; stand on your own.  I know without a doubt you can handle walking on your own, but you are still so unsure about it. I'll stand in front of you and try to coax you with a goldfish or Mia (Mia hates me for that) but you still squat back down to crawling. That's ok, you will walk when you are ready.

We are now starting to have some mild meltdowns when you don't get what you want.  They are very short lived but they consist of crying and then throwing yourself down face first on the floor.  I ignore it and 5 seconds later you are fine and right back to playing.  99.9% of the time you are a joy to be around.  You are seriously the best little traveler, eater, player and cuddler.  We need to work on your not being so clingy to mommy and go to daddy a little more willingly.  You also need a little more interaction with other babies.  Little People's School at the church wont take babies under 15 months so I'm going to look into some other options.

I guess that's about it for now.  We are doing our 1 year photo shoot later this week so I'll be sure and post a sneak peek of those and our birthday party progress.  Caroline doesn't go back to the doctor until September 23rd (her actual birthday, poor kid has to get shots on her birthday) so we will have stats then.  I guess that wasn't exactly short and sweet, but I get on a roll!  :)

Happy Birthday Scotty Wayne!!!

So I'm a little behind with Scott's birthday post.  Being busy everyday until 1:30, chasing Caroline around and then planning a bridal shower, I haven't had too much time to blog.  Sorry sweety!  Anyway, Wednesday the 3rd was Scott's birthday.  It was low key but I made him a great birthday dinner.  Chicken Tetrazinni, salad, crescent rolls and a Kahlua cake for dessert.  All per his request.  His big birthday gift is a grill guard for the front of his truck from me and the family.  As soon as work slows down for him and time allows, he will get that put on right away!!  Every year Scott is so incredibly busy with work, his birthday seems to come and go in a flash and we can't seem to get a good celebration in.  Well, next year for the big 3-0,  work or no work, there will be a big bash!!! Happy 29th Birthday sweety.  Thank you for taking such great care of your girls and we love you so much!!  Enjoy your last year in your 20's!!! :)

Bridal Shower Fun!!

Saturday my mom and I gave one of my best friends, Ashley a bridal shower.  I had a lot of fun planning for everything and it went off without a hitch.  I've always been the "co-host" with the showers I've been involved with, so this was the first time I was able to do everything I wanted and pictured in my head!  Also having a talented Mom around didn't hurt either. We had a great turn out and everyone was so nice and loved all of the food and decor.  Here are a few pictures of the event!

The shower tower we made for the front door! 

Awesome cake!! Thanks to April Wallace!
