Kissy Face

I could just eat her up! When you ask her to make a "fish" face she puckers up...this is the face I got at Liam Ferguson's party when I asked her for a "kissy" face.

Say "Cheese"

Playing with Emily

Cute pictures of the girls playing this holiday season...They love to go on the "paygrun" (playground). They just love each other so much, and I am really thankful that we got to spend the month of December with Amy, Dane and Emily.
Kissing :)

Keith's 21st Birthday

Keith is my "double first cousin." This sounds very weird, but really it just means that my mom's brother married my dad's sister. (Kind of like twins, marrying twins). Needless to say EVERY holiday celebration is celebrated with both Keith and his brother Sean as they are on both my mom and my dad's side. I am very lucky to be very close to all my cousins. I love them all and love their girlfriend's too!

We hosted Keith's 21st birthday celebration. We had a cooler full of beer, bottles of liquor, and plenty of oysters and food in honor of his big day. The most fun of all HAD to be us singing and dancing to Guitar Hero and Rock band.

Keith-the birthday boy!

Christmas 2009

Christmas. Where to begin. We are so blessed that we have so many family and friends to share this precious time of year. We did like 9 Christmas celebrations in 4 days. I will kind of layout our timeline. I get exhausted every time I think about all that we do throughout the holidays, but I also wouldn't trade or change a thing, as I realize what a true blessing it is to have all these special people in our lives.
Here is a run down of the week...

Smile for Papa and Nana

Santa's been here (side note, she only cared about the new cups)

Meemaw got her a "car" to match mommies

Precursor to when she is 16, daddy will teach her to drive

My two favorite people

One happy family

Emily "EMMY" enjoying Zoinks

Summer figuring out if she likes Zoinks any better this time

The girls in the bouncy house (check out Summer's face)

You don't look sick...

So the stomach bug hit Summer on Friday morning, infected daddy on Saturday and gave mommy the plague on Sunday. It lasted till Tuesday and was terrible. We went thru 19 loads of laundry and 7 rolls of toilet paper. I love that Summer was so sick, but was still her charming, laughing and happy self.

Sweet sicky baby

Nope, I'm not going to eat the saltines

Snuggling sickies...Gosh I love these two!

LOST

So in August, Steven convinced me to start watching the show LOST from the beginning of the series. It has consumed my free time. We sit and enjoy this show at least 1 hour a night. We choose to stay home and watch and talk about each episode and it has been really nice to enjoy relaxing and watching common tv. (We normally can never agree on what to watch). With this being said, Steven states that I am not "allowed" to have my cell phone out or computer on as to be completely focused on this complex show. This has been the reason for my lack of posts. We are now in season 5 and the last season starts in the next few weeks which will hopefully mean that I will get caught up on my blog.

Playdate with Kaley

We headed to Tom Brown to enjoy the beautiful Tally weather on MLK's Birthday...It was actually the first time Summy had ever been in a swing or an actual park other than the playground at her school. CRAZY I know...but we are BUSY. (Hey, at least I took her to the fair).

They are little girls now!
