Just a Glimpse

This girl is a handful. I tried to get a video of her just to give you a sneak peak of her southern "drawl" and well......take a look for yourself.

Lookie Lookie

I am not just not sure where she learns this stuff.....

The New Birthday Suit

Lately this Princess has had two demanding requests: dresses and "a suit". Ever since we've returned from the beach she insists on putting on a bathing suit. Lot's of times we can talk her out of it or distract her. She'll pull on any thing that looks like a bathing suit and say "beach". I found this really cute bathing suit (which just happens to have a tutu) on clearance for next summer. We've worn it around the house 3 times now.'Twice this past week she wore her new " night gown" down to Maw Maw's and when I got there to get her after work she still had it on. We absolutely have Princess on our hands.
I was able to get a picture of her tonight with her new birthday shirt on but only after promising that she could change into her suit. She made out like a REAL Princess today. She not only got a fabulous new wardrobe but a Princess Tricycle AND a Princess Scooter. Brax got a new scooter too!
Birthdays. what fun. I don't worry about my birthday anymore or how old I'll be. But what I do worry about is when I think about my children's next birthday and how much older they'll be.
Time flies. Hang on. We're on the ride of our life!

My Girl

                                  

Funny how a small moment can have such a lasting impression. Two years ago my small moment was a well thought out  C-section. We were going to  take Braxton to his Maw Maw's and Brandon and I were going to be at the hospital by 6:30 for an 8:30 C-Section. Somebody else had a better idea.
Our sweet Mckinley turns "2" tomorrow. It blows my mind when I think about how fast the past two years have gone. All that we've done. And all of the happiness and joy she's brought to our life.
 We laugh when we think about how our children made their entrance into this world. Braxton was two days late and was forced to make his arrival. Once he was born he was fine. I still feel like we have to force him to do a lot of things. But once he's there, he's fine.
Mckinley was a planned c-section. Down to the minute we knew what to expect. But she decided to come on her own terms when she was ready. No matter what everybody else had planned, she was coming. And that's who she is. When she's ready, you better be.
Day after day, all day,  I think about my babies. How wonderful they are. How beautiful they are. And how lucky I am. Out of all the people that God could have picked, I get to be their mom!

Catch Up

Too much has happened. Too much time has passed. Let's just look at the pictures and call it a month. Hopefully things will get back into a routine soon and I can post regularly. There's always something going on around here.
Enjoy!
