Pajama party

Natalie was so excited about going to school today because they were having a pajama party. She woke up early to and was ready in no time. Once all the kids arrived at school they were going over to the library to watch The Polar Express and eat popcorn. After that all the kids would head back to the school were they will drink hot chocolate and have a slumber party. Sound like so much fun! Here are a few pictures I took of them before they left for the library.

Busy little girl

This little girl has been very busy the past few weeks...

She had a chat with Santa...

Got her tonsils and adenoids taken out...

Played dress up with her little brother...

And got a new pair of boots thanks to her Aunt Meg! She wants to wear them everyday and as cute as she looks in them I just might let her:)

*Please excuse these pictures they were taken with my camera phone *

Wordless Wednesday.

2 days until...

this little guy arrives and we can't wait. We have been talking about him for a couple of weeks now and he just sent the kids a letter saying he would be here on Thanksgivng. I can't wait to see what kind of mischief he gets into this year.

Preschool

Here are a few pictures from Natalie's first field trip.

Roll Tide!

Twinkle Toes

Ever since Natalie started dance she has been obsessed. When I started thinking of what to do for her birthday in February I knew right away that a ballerina party would be perfect. Luckily the dance studio where she takes her lessons is available to rent for parties so we booked it right away. I am having way to much fun planning for this party. Let me know is you see anything that will go with the ballerina theme.

This is the stuff I have so far:

We made it.

We arrived here at 9 am and will be having lots of fun until next Saturday. All the yummy food, splashing at the pool, and fun times at the beach will mean many posts with lots of pictures to share.

Rylan's first haircut.

My baby looks like such a big boy now! I tried letting it grow out but just couldn't take it any longer. He had wings on each side and a mullet look going on in the back. It was definitely going to be curly. Every time the little man would sweat it would kink up and the longer pieces would turn into ringlets. Maybe I will let it grow out during the winter just to see how curly it will be. It was just to wild and unruly during the hot summer.

Oldies and a camera lens

I came across these old picture on my memory card and had to share a few of my favs.

Enjoy!

In other news... I got a new camera lens. I am so excited!! These are a few practice shots. I am still learning all the cool things it can do. Please don't mind the dirty girl in the last picture. For some reason this child hates to wear clothes.

Please pray!!!!!!!!

I took Natalie to the doctor on the 17th for her 3 year old check up. Everything seemed to be fine she has just been complaining with some hip pain since May and and our doctor wanted to run some tests. That did a hip xray and it came back normal- praise the lord! They also took some blood which did not come back normal. I am going to hold off of giving the details until I now all of the exacts but I really need for you to pray for my little girl. She definitely has something going on that has the doctor very concerned. They sent her to Children's South today for more blood work. We may know some of the results as early as today or tomorrow morning and the others we will have to wait 3 days for. I will try and keep everyone updated as soon as I get more information. In the mean time please pray for me to have the strength to handle whatever the outcome may be.

Roll Tide!

I have been eyeing this outfit for some time now and after finding out today that they would not be getting any more in stock I decide to go ahead and get it for Natalie. I can't wait to try it on her. It will be great for football season, Christmas, and Valentine's Day. I got this precious outfit from one of my favorite shops Fireflies and Fairytales. If you have never been there you should definitely go. They have the cutest baby/kid clothes.

Aylah's party.

This past weekend was full of fun. Friday both of the kids had a doctor's appointment and then afterwards we had a birthday party to go to for one of Natalie's friends from preschool. Click on the photo to see the rest of the pictures from miss Aylah's 3rd birthday!

These are some pictures from last Friday which was Rylan's birthday. Both the kids had to go to the doctor that morning. Rylan had to get three shots and Natalie one. They both did great. Rylan weighed almost 21 lbs and was 30 inches tall and Natalie weighed 29 lbs. and was 38 1/8 inches tall.

Party

These are a few pictures from Rylan's birthday party. Family, friends, food, and fun all make for the perfect day. Not mention the happiest baby in the world!

Rylan's First Birthday

It is amazing how fast 365 days can fly by. This sweet boy came into the world on July 17th 2008. He was 4 weeks early weighing 7lbs 12 ounces and 19 1/2 inches long. He is such a blessing to our family!

Rylan you are fearfully and wonderfully made and I am blessed to be your mother. I love every little thing about you.

Birthday Boy

This sweet boy will be 1 on Friday! *Thanks Kamin for taking his birthday pictures. I will upload the rest later.*

4th fun.

We has so much fun this weekend. We started out at Paw paws where we ate some yummy food, went swimming in the river, and let Natalie catch her first fish. After we left there we headed to some friends house for round 2 of the 4th fun. There we ate some more yummy food, played, and watched some beautiful fireworks. Here are some pictures from our weekend.

Hope everyone had happy and safe 4th.
