Baby Sisters

Libs refuses to wear hairbows.

She didn't protest the Woody dress up scarf though.

Typical.

Oh, and that beauty is my baby sister Leigh Anne.

Climbing in the Cabinets

I think she likes the new house too.

No cabinet locks.

She uses the cabinets as her personal jungle.

Play and explore all day!

Moving Madness

OMG.  We moved.

Chaos was sure to follow.

We had about 20 people...

various wrestlers, cheerleaders, the babysitter, and a handful of family members to help us that day. 

It took us ALL day long on Saturday... but we are moved! 

 We started EARLY Saturday and began with cinnamon roll breakfast.

Pizza for lunch...

And then the crew left us that afternoon.

We had everything ALL together and spent Saturday night at the NEW HOUSE!

I love our new house so much.

Still cannot believe we live here!

Next up... yard work...

Wedding Bells

I got to see this sweet girl get married!

I am SO proud of the amazing young lady that God has grown her into.

She was beautiful and her wedding was so much fun!

I had a blast and I was honored to go.

Courtney was one of my most favorite students ever.  She was always excited about learning and especially exited about taking home a plastic baby.  Yes, plastic baby.  Part of my class requires a weekend with a baby simulator....  Courtney took it home with a smile on her face.  Twice.  She's nuts.  A few years after that she had a sweet girl of her own, Mayson.  And voila!  Now she is married and all grown up.  I tend to forget that my students actually grow up.  In my head they are eternally 'just graduated last year' and never actually moving forward with life.  I know that they do, I just forget how often it actually happens.  I miss having her smile around the building.  I cannot WAIT to see what happens next in her life.  :)

Baby Libby

I cannot believe this baby girl has turned one. 

Where did the time go?

Some of her favorite things right now are...

Playing 'chase' with her brother at the new house

Making all sorts of silly noises with her mouth

Babbling along with anyone singing a song

Eating.  Anything and everything

Climbing the stairs

Snuggling with you when you hold her

Running, errr, walking away really quickly while you chase her

I cannot wait to see how God continues to bless us with her giggles!

She's such a little firecracker and so fierce with us.

I absolutely adore her.

Even if she is seriously strong willed and likely going to be the death of me...

Side note... found this.

Loved it.

Quote from The Golden Girls tv show.

Brilliant!

New House

Interior of the house.  I ran out of good daylight for the outside. 

Enjoy!

Road Trip to Charleston

Baby girl did SO good on our road trip.  She slept most of the way to and from Charleston.

And we made RECORD time both ways!

Unfortunately, the last little bit of the trip home was her rough patch.

She doesn't like being in the car seat at all!

We struggled to find things to entertain her for that last hour and a half.

I finally gave her an unopened pack of wipes.

There are 56 wipes in that pack.  She removed EVERY SINGLE ONE of them!

I knew my car smelled yummy, but I had NO idea what she was really doing back there!

Just have to laugh...

She's so big.  Walking around with her towel and her snack.

Playing on Papa's lap between naps and snacks.

I just want y'all to know that we stopped at Dunkin Donuts to get a snack and go potty.

I ordered myself that maple frosted donut so I could eat it.

Hayes ate it.  Well, he ate the icing and the part on top.
I guess he was just saving me the calories?

Playing with the water hose while 'filling up the pool' and watering the plants.

He's pretty much my favorite little boy in the whole world.
