5 Years

When you get married, you look ahead and think that your 5 year anniversary is so far away, but yet at the time, you can hardly imagine all the things that you will share over those quick 5 years! We have already shared in many ups and downs- funfilled and lovely vacations- wordly travel- purchasing our first home- bringing home our first baby and another on the way...! We thought we would for sure spend our "big" 5 year wedding anniversary back in Puerto Vallarta where we honeymooned- instead we went to dinner on the Ruston waterfront and watched a movie in bed! We didn't have any gifts to exchange (being that we are on a tight budget with baby on the way), but as we sat at dinner, we looked up the 5th wedding anniversary gift- wood. Hmmmm... well, we actually came up with something to buy together to celebrate our 5th year anniversary that is made of wood- and we really will use it! We drove to Lowes to look for it, but realized we could not fit it in our car. We are still waiting for a good day to borrow a truck and go pick it up.

Sunshiny Mothers Day

It was a sunshiny perfect mother's day! It started with thick cinnamon french toast with strawberries and cream in bed! Then we took a little trip to Home Depot for some yard supplies and a stop at Metropolitan market for some delicious food for the day and two new little Lemon Spruce trees for our yard. We spent the rest of the day eating good food, BBQing, enjoying the sun, and loving our time together! Thank you family for a lovely and relaxing day. I didn't want it to end!

Tinker Bell B-Day Party

With all the craziness of work recently and well just being tired... Charlotte's birthday party was a last minute plan! Surprisingly, we still had pletny of friends and family who were able to make it for Charlotte's Tinker Bell Birthday Party! Charlotte loved all the toys, clothes (especially the dress up clothing), but mostly she just loved having everyone here. She asked for days where everyone went after the party and when would they come back! Thank you everyone for making this a special day for our Lil Miss Charlotte!

Charlotte turns 3!

Our big girl turned 3 years old! Pretty hard to believe! I really need to video tape her more because describing her with words hardly does her justice. She is loud, bouncy, dramatic, comedic, musical, beautiful, talkative, and giggly! Her speech has improved drastically over the past few months, but when she gets excited or is playing pretend, she reverts right back to light speed jabbering! She loves to sing songs like “Twinkle, Twinkle”, “ABC’s”, “I know You” (from Sleeping Beauty), “R-A-I-N-Y”, and “Jesus Loves Me”. She also makes up songs all the time- in fact a lot of her chattering is very sing-songy in nature! Some of her most common phrase are: “Good Job! You Did It!” “Oh, that’s so cute!” or “Oh, that’s so bunny (funny)!” She loves other kids, and seems to be excited about getting a baby sister. She has an amazing imagination; she loves to pretend she is a puppy. This pretend game consists of lots of barking, crawling around on her hands and knees and licking you for kisses. We have entered into the princess and tinkerbell phase- it is hard to keep her in her regular clothing, she would prefer to dress up as a fairy or a princess. Charlotte is an amazing little girl! I felt blessed the day she was born and I feel blessed every day to have her in our lives. Although at times I want to freeze time, I also cannot wait to see what she surprises us with this year! We love you Little Miss Charlotte! Love, Momma & Daddy
