An Alexandria Thanksgiving

We got to spend Thanksgiving in Alexandria at Memaw's house. Lots of family, relaxation, fun, and food! 

At one point Hal got a hold of our camera and went around the house taking pictures of everyone. Here is a college of shots taken by Hallie, not bad huh?

 Dave, Granna, Uncle Paul, Memaw, Great Aunt Laura, Amanda and Belle.

 Boys hanging out on the porch.

 Sister picture! Allison and Kristy

We have lots of 'sister pictures' on this side of the family!

We were so glad to get to spend time with Allison/Dave, Kristy/Chad and their Daughters Reese and Sydney!

 Well, Blake's head got a little cut off but we are in focus :)

 Newlyweds!!! (and their coffee of course)

We are full to the brim with Thanks!

Halloween 2013

 Let start off the night with some grub! Hot Dogs for the kids and Chili for the adults. Cornbread for everyone (Jason jokes that it is dessert because I love the sweet kind, good thing the grocery shopper gets final say)!

 Couldn't get all three to keep their wigs/headbands on for a live picture together. That is what picasa is for, just make a collage and boom, all three kids in one picture!

 Try to make 5 young children pose for a picture on the porch when all they want to do is run off for some trick-or-treating! (Caroline is not preforming a ballet move, although that would be soo cute, she is, of course, about to pull her headband off!)

Boys and their Babies

Caroline 11 Months

Our happy growing girl is 11 months! She is eating like crazy and loves any food that comes from our plates. She does NOT like bows, headbands, hair ties, you name it. I am lucky that I got this shot before she grabbed the bow! No walking yet but boy is she a fast crawler. She loves falling asleep holding her sleep sheep with sounds of the ocean.

Autumn Festivities

 On our way to a fall festival, our little pumpkin, Rapunzel and Belle!

So Excited to Celebrate!

Good Ole School Pictures

Talbert Wedding

My sister is now Stephanie Talbert! We had a blast celebrating Stephanie and Philip. We were so honored to be a part of their day. Amanda was the Matron of Honor and Hallie and Annabelle were the flower girls.

...And they lived Happily Ever After!!!

Annabelle, Social Butterfly

It's not fair that just because Caroline is a baby she gets a post every month with a picture and details about her milestones. So this post is dedicated to my second daughter, Annabelle. She is definitely distinguishing herself from Hallie in looks, size and personality. While Hallie has always been quiet, shy and reserved at preschool, Annabelle is as talkative as can be! Mrs. Odette told me one day, "It took Hallie half a year to say one word to me, but Annabelle will come up to me every day and tell me her life story!" Belle has also be known to wave and yell "hi" to neighbors, trashmen, lawn mowers, dogs etc while we are on walks and she loves to walk up to other kids she has never met and say "Hi, I'm Annabelle, wanna be my best friend?"

Caroline is 9 Months!

Our sweet, happy Caroline is 9 months old. She is crawling like a storm, pulling up on tables, toys and mommy's legs during dinner preparation each night ;) She loves blueberries, boiled eggs, bananas, and avocados. She cuddles with us much more than her sisters which we love. Her favorite sleeping position is on her tummy with her legs tucked under listening to her rainforest music.

August Happenings

Celebrating Gramps, Grandma and Daddy's Birthdays!!!

 Small Cakes Cupcakes = The Best!

 Everyone was outside despite the heat. Hallie came in to tell me (while I was cleaning up the kitchen) "its ok mommy, we are all outside so you can have some alone time" Haha!

The Children's Museum with Grandma

 I will apologize now for dressing you EXACTLY the same, you'll roll your eyes at me when you are older :) 

 Give me my bottle and NO ONE gets hurt :)

 Aww, yep Hallie, thats definitely your Grandmother, yall look so much alike! So sweet.

 Time to do some shopping. Did we get everything on our list?

 A little sunny but at least we got a picture!

 Fun times in the ball pit.
