January 2010

I started a new project on January 1st, it's called Project 365 and I am supposed to take at least one picture per day, so this picture just happens to be the one I took on 01-06-10, I thought it was cute of Brinlee and wanted to share it.Here are Brinlee's 7 month pictures, her BFF Rylee came for pictures too and they were so cute! Brinlee is now on the move, she does the army crawl and just today when we took these pictures, she actually was up on her hands and knees and made a couple of "steps" really crawling, she is also learning to pitch a little fit when we take someting away from her, it's a little comical to watch, and when she gets hungry, she wants it right now! Brinlee and Rylee, this reminds me so much of Derek telling Robbie a funny story, and Robbie's reply? " DUDE, For real?" LOVE it!

Jake, Nicole and Carter came to visit and we took a few pictures! He's just the sweetest little man I could hold him all day. Jake and Nicole went to Oaklawn and spent some time together and we got the honor of keeping little Carter for the afternoon and it was just wonderful! He's now 4 weeks old and is a great baby, he's so easy to take care of and we can't wait for him to come visit again!

Don't they make a beautiful family?

December 2009

For Brinlee's 6 month birthday, we had a little bitty party, and she got to tear into a cake, she liked it pretty good and even opened a present. She is so fun! What a great evening leading up to tomorrow when we go to Little Rock and wait for Carter's arrival!

12-17-09 He's here! Carter Jacob arrived this evening at 5:05 PM and weighed 7pounds 2 ounces. Mommy and Daddy are very proud and all are doing great! Carter brings this year to a close with him being the 3rd grandbaby born in our family this year! What an amazing year! We are all so blessed, healthy babies and lots of happiness!

Christmas morning, Morgan had a few surprises, here she is opening either her new phone, or her iPod touch.Christmas Day at Mema's, Brinlee had a ball, she loved opening the presents, she tore and tore at the paper and as you can see, she loved her new toys!

November 2009

Brinlee is now 5 months old and has new thing she does, she loves sticking out her tongue! She's also gotten really good control of her hands and grabs everything, she chuckles outloud and is about the happiest baby I've ever seen! Jake and Nicole came for their maternity pictures and we can't wait to meet Baby Carter in just a few weeks! Aren't they the sweetest couple? They are so in love and will make great parents!

November always brings around Santa pictures, this year we had lots of little ones to meet Santa and we had a great time taking pictures!

This is the only one we were able to get with all the kids with Santa, by this time they were all pretty much done with pictures and wanted to play, as you can see, Santa was worn out too!

October 2009

Brinlee is now 4 months old and cute as can be! We are all enjoying her so much. She has lost a lot of her hair but we can see that she has new hair coming in and it looks to be blonde, just like her daddy's was when it started coming back in.We took a quick little jaunt to Shady Lake for our last camping trip of the year, it was beautiful and we can't wait to go back!
On Halloween, Mike and I took Morgan, her friend Isaac and Brinlee to Malvern to The Family Farm, it was so much fun, they got to pet lots of animals and play on zip lines and a big swing. Brinlee loved looking at the animals and if she could have gotten her hands to work right, she'd have had ahold of her a bunny rabbit!

September

Labor Day - We recently got a new camper and couldn't wait to try it out, we had originally planned to go to Shady Lake with the Ivey's, but Morgan tested positive for the flu so after long deliberation we ended up going to 3 Sisters, Morgan felt okay and we had a ball, it was 6 days of perfect weather and absolutely the best camping trip ever! We love our new camper and can't wait come back to 3 sisters!

Geocaching is great fun!

09/09/09 Morgan got her braces on the top teeth today, she was really excited but tonight is feeling the paint a little bit more than she thought.

Brinlee is now 3 months old and is so much fun! She is smiling a lot and laughs out loud!

August 2009

Brinlee is growing so much, here she is at 2 months, she has to go get her first shots in a few days! That's gonna be a tough thing for her Mommy and Daddy. Jordyn brought the kids over today, Kyler is now 1 month old. Braylin is 2!

Camping at Brady Mountain

Brinlee got to float in her little floaty boat and she also wore the little bathing suit that I bought back in 1986 when I was pregnant with her Daddy! I thought I'd surely have a little girl back then LOL. Morgan also wore it when she was first born, I just love seeing it being put to use!

Dipping her toes in the water with Daddy!
