Memorial Day Weekend

We had such a great weekend! Lots of family time equals lots of fun! Wes and I went crazy with the camera, so be prepared for the play by play of the weekend. Friday night, we went to our favorite Mexican restaurant, stopped by the store for cookie dough ice cream (yum), then played and played outside. Marley and I spent our time like this...

Whereas Wes and Colt spent their time like this...

And Ellie like this...

Then Saturday afternoon, we went to a park and had a picnic. So much fun!

Colt on the slide...

Marley on the slide too, just a smaller one of course...

Hanging with Daddy...

Saturday night, Wes and I went out with some of our best friends, Adam and Carrie. We hung out with other friends from college and had such a great time!

Our neighborhood pool opened this weekend, so we took the babies to the pool Sunday afternoon...

Again, Marley just hung out and got her feet wet...

While Colt made a much larger splash...

And the last news is that Marley started crawling...check it out!

I wasn't kidding about the play by play and crazy with the camera! Anyways, this is what a weekend is all about to me...time with my husband and babies. Wouldn't want to be anywhere else! But this particular weekend, Memorial Day, also has a special meaning. Let us not forget those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom, and continue to do so daily in the midst of this war.

When...

When you are as cute as a bunny sitting on your bunny chair, you get a little excited...


When you ride in a grocery cart for the first time, you make this face like "mom don't go to fast"...


When you're this tired, you don't have to be in the bed, you can fall asleep anywhere...


And when your three year old gets a hold of your phone, you get pictures of his sweet feet...

Weekend Pics

Some fun pics of the kids...Colt loving to be outside.

Lining up his trucks...


And just being cute...


Marley loves to swing...


The first bow that I found that will stay in her peach fuzz...I think she likes it too!

"Don't mess with my magazine"...such a serious face!

Back after my Blog Hiatus

Okay, so its been a while. And I know you've missed me :) But, every time I sit down at the computer, I think, man I have so much to catch up on that it is overwhelming. So, I am not going to be able to catch you up on holidays, birthdays, etc...they were all great. But, I will be able to tell you where my focus has been the last five months...here, on my family!

We have had a lot of changes the past few months...getting adjusted to two fabulous children, Wes getting a great job opportunity but requires a lot of travel, starting his MBA, and just dealing with the crazy, busy life that we all have these days. And it has been challenging at times, but we know this is what God has for us right now. So, I just want to catch you up on some recent pictures of the babies.

Our fun Colt...3 now and always keeps us laughing!


And our sweet Marley...she is developing such a sweet and happy personality. And, she is growing like crazy, 17 pounds and 14 ounces at her 6 month check-up!


They are so sweet together too!

One of my favs...
I can't say enough how thankful I am to have such a supportive husband and wonderful kids. My cup runneth over! Hopefully, I will find the time to share more often than every six months! Just a couple more pics...

Wordless Wednesday

Some Firsts

Bath...happy before

Not so much after


Game day with Daddy (check out those profiles...identical)!

Sweet picture of her dimples

First picture in a dress that my Aunt Wanda made her


First picture in her bunny chair from AA...she looks so long in it.

What Brother Has Been Up To...

Since Marley has arrived! Giving sweet kisses.
Asking to hold her...look no hands!
Decorating her with stickers (Marley looks a little traumatized).
Giving her trucks to sleep with.
Attempting to take pictures in their matching shirts.
Chasing Mommy and Marley on the playground (Marley is in the Moby wrap).
And because he is such a great big brother...he gets sweet kisses in return.
