My little soccer star

Rhett had his first soccer practice on Wednesday. Well, if you can call it "practice". Really, it was more like "get with a partner and kick the ball to each other". But, it was his first official practice of a sporting event, and I am so proud of him.

Cheers to 9 years

On Wednesday, the 10th, Jeremy and I celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary. So hard to believe we have been married for 9 years, have 2 children, and have been together for almost 14 years! It all seems surreal sometimes. But, I am glad that it's my reality. I love this man and am so happy that 9 years ago, he chose me to be his bride!

Thank you, Jeremy, for all you do. Plain and simply, you are wonderful! And, I love you so much!


We took these pics on our anniversary in the car after dinner because Jeremy was too embarrassed for me to ask the waiter to take our picture! Love him!

A New Obsession

Shortly after Gentry was born, I discovered the cuteness of Toe Blooms. I know that some people don't see the point in them, but I think they are adorable! My mom bought Gentry her first pair, and I had plans to purchase more. Below, is Gentry in her first pair. (Sorry the pic is small, I pulled it off FB).


Once they arrived, I looked them over and decided how genius this little invention was. They are literally less than a yard of stretchy fabric and a flower or jewel. The genius part is they cost $20+ to purchase, but upon further inspection, I discovered I can make them for about $1.00. Sure wish I would have thought of these! I could be making some big bucks right now! So, without further adieu, I give you my versions, only for Gentry:For this purple pair, the sequin trim was on clearance for $.47 a yard. I needed 1/4 of a yard and already had the rosettes! Score!

I love dressing up my little girl!

2 Months!

This sweet girl has graced us with her presence for 2 whole months now! We love her more than words and can't imagine our lives without her. She has quickly stolen her big brother's heart. He is always quick to ask about her when she's sleeping, comfort her when she's crying, and try to play with her anytime he can. We are all having so much fun with her.

At 2 months old, Gentry weighs 12 lbs., 3 oz. (85%), and is 22.5" long (57%). She is smiling and cooing, and recently has started sleeping all night!
(I probably just jinxed myself by typing that).

She had her 2 month check up and shots today. This pic was taken at the doctor's office just before her shots. Sweet girl, didn't know what she was in for!

Love, love, love, love this baby girl!

I love you better than donuts

Those are the words that my son told me today. My heart about melted into a giant puddle right then and there. First he told me, "Mommy, I want you to know...how much I love you". Then proceeded to tell me that he loved me better than donuts because he likes to eat donuts. Later in the day he told me I was his best friend. What sweet words from my little man who is growing up WAY too fast! Here are some recent pics of my handsome little mister.






He is starting preschool in about a month, and the closer it gets, the sadder I get that my little buddy won't be here everyday with me. I know it's only 2 days a week, and it will be beneficial to him in SO many ways, but I also can't help but feel that once he starts to school he will never be the same. I know he will learn so many new things, and that is so important. But, sometimes my selfishness wishes there was a "pause" button on life!

Twins again?

Two more side by sides of my kiddos. In these pics, they don't look as exactly alike as they do in the one I posted here, but they are still pretty similar.

Newborn Pictures

We had Gentry's newborn pictures taken when she was 11 days old. We chose a fabulous photographer out of Ft. Worth to do them, and I am SO happy with how they came out. I seriously had a hard time choosing my faves, and the birth announcement she made was TO.DIE.FOR! The photographer posted some on her blog, and also offered up a little bloggy challenge. If I can get 12 friends/family to comment on Gentry's post, we will win a little goody! So, whether I know you or not; whether we're friends in real life or just over the internet; whether you're just nosey like me and like to look at other people's pics, please click here and leave a comment! We would much appreciate it! :)
