Merry Christmas!

We have been enjoying this holiday season so much already! We are taking in everything Christmas from the lights, the carols, the trees, to the snow (what little we have)... and loving it all!!! We've got a chocolate countdown calender, and guess what??? Only 3 left! :) Hope your holidays are filled with as much excitement and joy as ours!

7 Months Old

Shaye is always so much fun. She has discovered the joy of movement... she rolls to wherever her little heart desires and has a great time doing it. This new found freedom has left her all smiles. This girl has turned into our little cheese ball! She can't help herself; she is such a smile bucket and I love it! She loves to play and talk to anyone who will pay attention. She still hates baby food, and is dying to eat anything anyone else is eating. Her favorite toy is her mini musical piano. At 5am everyday, she is up and ready for action, luckily her daddy is more of a morning person than her mom! She's not into napping, if she's down for 30 minutes, she overdone herself. She's our little sweet treat and we are so excited to spend this Christmas season with our two crazy kiddos!

Turkey Day

Thanksgiving was a quiet one this year, but a great one. We spent the day with the Mangum's chewing down some grub and watching a little football. They were so sweet to let us crash their party. Friday, we all went out and did a little shopping... got some good deals and the kids were so good. We wanted to do something fun for the kids so Saturday we went to see Arthur Christmas. It was a pretty cute show, Justus loved the sleigh! We really couldn't have asked for a better Thanksgiving weekend than one spent with our two little munchkins- they are our everything!

Happy Halloween!

We had such a fun Halloween this year! Justus was Spiderman and loving every second of it and Miss Shaye was a snuggley sweet lady bug. We got some trick-or-treating in between visiting everyone and grabbing a bowl of delicious homemade chili (my personal favorite thing about Halloween :) ).

6 Months Old

What more can I say about this girl other than I love her to pieces! She is quick to flash her beautiful cheeky smile, getting her to laugh is a bit tougher. She loves her daddy to hold her and when he does, she can't help but grab onto his facial hair. She no longer sleeps through the night :( but she has to be in her bed, swaddled, by 7pm or nobody's happy. Her favorite food is squash, but she prefers her bottle over anything. She's not content to just lay down and play, she has to be sitting or preferably standing to be truly happy. I couldn't ask for a greater blessing than to have this sweet girl for a daughter.

5 Months Old

Miss Shaye is growing-up so fast! She is sitting-up by herself and her favorite thing to do is watch Justus. She loves her big brother and he can get the best laughs out of her! Her 5 month pictures... not so fabulous. We tried 3 separate photo shoots to try to get her at least not crying, but she knew every time I pulled the camera out. Funny girl! We'll hope for a happier photo shoot on her 6 month pictures :)

My Little Cowboy

My boy turned 2 1/2 years old! He's such a crazy little man; we love trying to keep up with him. He is into everything. He loves to ride his bike and play baseball, jump on the tramp and play in his sandbox. His favorite food is chocolate chip cookies. If he had it his way, that's all he'd eat... can't say I blame him! He's into anything involving a "super hero." When he grows up, he's going to be "big like a transformer." "Why?" comes after every everything we say. I expected he would go through that phase, just not to soon. He's an amazing big brother. He loves to play with Shaye and she adores him. He gives her lots of kisses and loves and always tells her that he loves her. We cherish these moments because not only are they adorable, but we know they won't last as they grow-up and have to start sharing :)
