May Birthdays!

In addition to Grace and Scott's birthday's being in May, we have a lot of May birthdays in the rest of the family as well. Today is Nonnie's birthday so I wanted to wish her a *very happy birthday*! Here is a picture I took of her and Grace at Grace's party on Saturday.

We LOVE you Nonnie! Happy Birthday!

Mudcats Game!

The Mudcats stadium less than 5 miles from our house. There is a delicious restaurant there and Scott and I use to go pre-baby! We also went to a couple of games too but didn't get to any last year bc I was due any day and then Grace was just too little.

We decided to take Grace to her first Mudcats game last month. It was actually opening night and was a little colder than I had hoped. She did fairly good until the bottom of the 5th inning when it was getting a little too far past bedtime and her little nose was red from the cold. So we decided to call it an early night and head home, but we'll definitely be back now that its warmed up.

Happy Mother's Day!

Last year on Mother's Day we brought Grace home from the hospital. I think that was the best Mother's Day present ever and I'm not sure what will ever top that. Being a mother has been a wonderful experience and has taught me many things about life and love. It has made me gain a whole new respect for my parents and grandparents. I thank God for bringing all of the mother figures in my life, but for especially making my Mom, not just my Mom but my best friend!

Thanks for being a wonderful mother and Gigi! XOXO

Happy FIRST Birthday!

At 9:45am a year ago today, we were blessed like never before as we welcomed the sweetest bundle of joy into our world.




Dear Grace,

You are truly the light of my life. You make me smile, you make me laugh, you make me remember to take deep breaths and count to 10, you make me stop and listen and enjoy little slivers of time like never before. You make me appreciate the big things and savor the little things. Simply put, you grew my heart. Happy birthday sweet girl. I love you.

i love you too the moon & back-
Mommy

A Life of Love

Just an idea of how far behind I am, these pictures are from March 4th. 60 years ago Nonnie and Grandaddy were married. 60 years later they have 3 children, 6 grandkids, 6 great-grand kids (and one on the way)! I thank God everyday for these two amazing people and how they have shaped my life and showed us all the true meaning of love!

11 month {PHOTOS}

The day Grace turned 11 months I took her outside after her nap. You can tell in these pictures that she's still got the sleepy-eyes! I figured I'd better post them quick because she'll be a year old two weeks from today! Woah! Where has time gone?

Easter Sunday

Easter Sunday we woke up to finding what the Easter Bunny brought Grace! She got lots of fun goodies- A tea set, maracas, books, etc.


Then we went to the 10 oclock service at at Scott's grandmothers church, and then 11 o'clock service at my church, and then back to the bay for lunch at Nonnie & Grandaddy's.

It was such a beatutiful day that went out in the boat after lunch! It certainly was a wonderful relaxing day!
