Granddaddy's little buddy is not so little anymore!!

Carsen has always loved to lay with my Dad!! However, it used to be a lot easier when he was smaller. One of the things that I love about this stage in Carsen's life is that he tries to act like such a big boy (After all being seven is an adult in his eyes!!!) but deep down inside he is still Mommy's little boy!!! He has always loved to cuddle and so far he has not out grown that. He loves laying on my Dad when he has his PJ's on because he says "Granddaddy keeps me warm!" I am so thankful that my children affectionate. I hope that is something that they never outgrow!!!

Smile Jesus Loves You!!!!

Presley made this little sign at choir. I thought it was the cutest thing ever!!!! Of course it might just be the little faces that are poking through it that makes it so cute. There is nothing like the face and smile of a child to remind you of God's never ending love!!!

Aunt Donna and Uncle David Visit!!!

On Sunday after church we had a special treat!! Aunt Donna and Uncle David came by to see Camden. They could not believe how BIG he had gotten!!! It is amazing how quickly they grow. Of course, they both wanted to hold him but as you can see Presley is never far away from her baby brother. I don't think that there is ever a time when she is not right in his face!!! I swear he knows when she is coming!!!

Playgroup Valentine's Day Party!!!

The Valentine's Day Party for Playgroup was at our house. The kids were all decked out in their red and pink (which was not planned by the way!!!). We had a great time eating snacks and decorating bags to put our Valentine's in. All of the brought a card for each of their friends and then I attempted to take a group picture of all of them. This was better in thought than theory!! I promise that Ethan and Davis were there but being the sweet little boys they are they let the girls have the spotlight!! (Or at least that's the way I saw it!!) Anyway, every time we all get together I look around and think how lucky I am to have such a wonderful group of friends to spend my days with and raise my children. We are counting on these children being life long friends.

Camden talks to Mommy!!!

Here is Camden talking to his Mommy!! I love the little noises that they make at this age!! You know that they are trying so hard to say something!! I can say with confidence that here he is saying that he Loves his Mommy!! Mommy love you to little angel!!!

Camden is 2 Months Old!!! (What in the World!!!)

My baby is already 2 months old and has found his smile!!! He is possibly the cutest thing I have ever seen. It is amazing how quickly they start to change. He is smiling, cooing, and discovering his hands. In case there is any doubt the idea that he might look like me has quickly faded. He looks more like Tom everyday. I told one of my friends it is like having Tom with me at all times. He is definitely a Mommy's Boy and I am not going to lie he is rarely out of my arms. I have learned very quickly how fast this time flies and I plan on soaking up every possible minute with him!!!

2 Month Milestones:

Height: 24 inches

Weight: 12 lbs. 5 0z.

Carsen Starts Baseball!!

Is Daddy hurt already?

Well, today kicked off baseball season. Carsen is on the A's this year and is really looking forward to playing baseball again. His coach this year is Bowdie Jenkins and to start off the year Bowdie had a cookout at his house and a ball game of Parent's vs. Kids!!! What a Blast!!! The kids and parents both were having the best time. Of course, there was a lot of talk of who was going to win. I am glad to report that the kids ending up winning!!! If you talk to the Dad's though they will tell you they won!!! It is such a joy to watch Carsen play something that he loves. It really makes the experience worth it. It is neat to see how much better they get in just 1 year. I will post more pictures once he has his uniform and I am sure I will be able to come up with something for Presley to wear to the games to support her Big Brother!!!

Camden and his new toy!!!

I look more like my Daddy daily!!!

I can't believe that his hair looks so red!!!

It goes without saying that Camden is growing bigger everyday!!! He is starting to discover the things around him so I decided to get out this toy and see what he did. Needless to say he loves it!!! He looks at all of the things hanging from it and smiles. Why is it that something this simple can make you heart melt and you eyes fill up with tears.

Carsen and Presley's Birthday Party

Carsen and Presley had their birthday party together this year at INK!! All of the kids had such a great time!!! It was one of the best birthday parties we have had!! Here are some pictures to enjoy!! Of course, I still can't believe that my kids are growing up this fast. I promise I thought they were still babies.

Camden getting a bath.... What a cutie!!!!

I look more like my Daddy everyday!!!!

Here are some shots of Camden getting one of his first baths!!! I know what your thinking he looks a little big for his FIRST bath!!! We had a little issue with his belly button. Not to worry all is fixed and he is now in the tub and LOVING it!!! There is nothing like seeing a baby with a paci!! I know that might sound weird but it is one of my favorite things and I am so glad that he loves his paci it just makes me happy!!! I can't believe how big he is getting already... and how much he is looking like his Daddy!!! I am sure no one is surprised by that!!!

Presley's Pajama Day

What a Princess!!!

Presley's school had Pajama Day today. She got to wear her PJ's to school and bring in a favorite stuffed animal and blanket. She took in her favorite pink blanket and her "pink baby lion". I tried to get her to wear her slippers but she would have nothing to do with that. This is one of the many cute things that they do at her preschool. I love going through the carpool line and seeing the teachers in their PJ's as well. She told me that they ate pancakes for snack and got to cover up with their blankets and hold their stuffed animals during story time. I wish everyday could be like preschool!!!!

Carsen's 100th Day of First Grade!!!!

Today was Carsen's 100th day of school. His teacher went to Home Depot and got all of the children hats to bring home and decorate with 100 things. You could use whatever you wanted to decorate your hat with. Carsen's hat has feathers, google eyes, stickers, and sports foam stickers on it!!! He thinks that it is so cool and I totally agree!!! I love that he is still at the age where he doesn't think this for lack of a better word "Stupid"!!! One of my favorite things about this age is that Carsen will come to carpool line with this hat on and won't think a thing about it!! What a sweet sweet boy!!

My goodness look how BIG we are!!!

I will suck those cheeks right off!!!!

My one and only P-Pie Pony!!! I am told she is going to break many hearts!!

The sweetest boy I know!!!

The one thing that I love about these pictures are that I can look at Carsen and Presley and still see the "baby" in them!!! I know that has to be a mother thing but when I look at them I promise I still see Carsen with his teddy and kitty and I see Presley in her little Santa outfit on Christmas!!! I hope that is something that never goes away. I know that the reality is that they are growing up right in front of my eyes. I am so proud of the children they are. They are so close and will tell you that they are "best friends" and have now added Camden to that friendship. I pray that God will protect the friendship that they share even as they grow older. Doesn't it just seem like everything just fades away in the sweet sweet smile of a child!!!

Camden's first Photo shoot!!!

Well, we went on Saturday to have Camden's picture made for the first time and I have to admit that he is looking just like his Daddy!!! I was so pleased with the pictures it was hard to decide which ones to post!!! Needless to say his big brother and big sister enjoyed it as well because they got to hold him and get their picture made with him. Nothing is sweeter than seeing all of my kids together!!!

Brothers and Sister the Sweetest thing I know!!!

What can I say!!! Look at these sweet children. Every time I see one of their faces I thank God for the wonderful gift of being a Mom!! There is nothing else I would rather be. Camden has added a perfect addition to our family. The kids are so excited that he is finally here. Daddy and I are pretty excited as well. Carsen and Presley cannot keep their hands off of him. I swear he can already tell when they are coming towards him. With him being the third I am really trying to soak up everyday because I realize how quickly these days fly by. I want to remember each little smile and sound the best I can. It is really sweet to see all of them together!! It is just one of those things that you can't Thank God enough for!!! How blessed we are to have three beautiful healthy children. Tom and I can't wait to see what God has in store for their lives.
