Helping mom pick out paint colors

We've found a winner!

I give it a big thumbs up!

Oh, how I miss the warm sunny days

when it was at least double digits. Double digits...I mean I'm not asking for much.

Day at the park with sis and I this fall when it was still warm outside.

Meet some more family

Meet my mom's cousin, Stacey, and her little girl Sophia.

Another shot of Sophia. Doesn't she just look like a little doll?

Here is a picture of Sophia and her older sister, Victoria, posing with my sis and I. Victoria and I are 6 months apart and Sophia and Reesing are also 6 months apart. We all have a great time when we get together.

Sophia checking out the baby & showing off her crawling skills.

Mom, sis & I went to visit my great-grandma Shirley about a month ago. My great-grandma Shirley has the kindest soul and can light up the room with her smile and chuckle.

More cousins on my mom's side. This was taken this past summer, before lil' sis was born, at a family gathering. Too much fun.

That's A'more

I made homemade pizza for the family the other night and it turned out delicious, if I do say so myself.

One pepperoni for the pizza...one for my belly. Yum!

Sprinkle da' cheese.

Oh yeah, and my lil' sister hit the 12 week mark! WooHoo! Way to go sista!

Going on a treasure hunt

When my friend Preston and I get together we enjoy putting on our pirate gear and hunting down the great treasure.

They've found the princess!

She escaped from her ivory tower & I sent my forces out to find her. Mission complete!

My little sister the diva

She got her ears pierced a few weeks ago when she hit the 8 week mark. My mom and I took her to the pediatrician's office where Dr. Kelley put the holes in her ears. Mom & I were there the whole time to hold sissy's hand & help dry up her tears.

She was such a happy little thing when we took her in there. Very happy baby at the start.

"Look at me! I'm getting my ears pierced today!"

"Can someone tell me what exactly that means?"

"Doesn't matter...I'm still excited~yea for me!"

Immediately after..."What the h@#ll just happened?"

Still trying to figure it out & still letting my mom hear about it.

All done & they look great. She was a very brave little girl! I was so proud of her. After all of that Dr. Kelley had 4 shots lined up for her. It was a long day for sissy. I was very scared for her, but I was so glad that I could be there to comfort her.

She's been all smiles since then!

The time has come...

It is 11:08 p.m. on November 29th and mom has officially 52 more minutes of maternity leave left. She's headed back to work tomorrow morning after 10 weeks of leave. It's been fun while it lasted, but sis and I are headed to Aunt Stacey's tomorrow and mom will go to work and we will continue to still have lots of fun. Thanks for the good times momma.

Happy Day After Thanksgiving to you all!

We were too busy eating turkey yesterday to make a post, so we're sending our holiday greetings today.We saw lots of family from both sides and ate lots of good food. Thanks to all the wonderful chefs who prepared such wonderful food. Reesing got to celebrate her first turkey day, and I helped her master the "gobble gobble" call. We have many many blessings to be thankful for this year. This Thanksgiving was not without the special memory of my grandma Sharon who would have celebrated her 64th birthday yesterday. We love you bunches and miss you very much Grandma Sharon! We hope that you all had a wonderful holiday and was able to count your blessings with those you love.

Yes, my sister was wearing a "Thanksgiving turkey" outfit in honor of the special day.

Reesing and "Bully" (a.k.a. Bullfrog to others), my Grandma Linda's kitty cat. Him and I are really good buds and have a great time playing when I go to visit Grammee Linda. Bully seems to like lil' Reesing and she doesn't seem to mind him.

Reesing and our cousin Kate

All of the cousins on my mom's side.

Reesing's impression of dad in a turkey coma!

Raking leaves...

sure does take a lot longer when I help out, but mom says it's a lot more fun.
