Mary and Lucy Come to Visit and We Also Head To the Park

Today was such a wonderful day. This morning Mary and Lucy came over very early and we hung out most of the day. Lucy had her two-month check up today and she weighed in at 12 pounds and 7 ounces and was 24 inches long. Emma will go tomorrow for her two-month check up. I can’t wait to see what she weighs. I can’t believe that our girls are already two-months old. Time sure does go fast when you are raising babies. I also go back to work 3 weeks from today. That will be a hard day.

I also got to pick Taylor up from school early today and we headed to the park for an afternoon of fun. I am so envious of Taylor and his daddy because this weekend they are going camping with cousin Lawson, Uncle Sean, Mr. Brad, and Kenneth. I just love to watch Taylor play with his best buddy Kenneth. I know they will all have a good time. Hopefully I can get daddy to take some pictures to share with everyone.

Razorback Tailgating (Alabama vs. Arkansas Game)

Today we headed over to the Road Hog Park to tailgate at the Bost’s RV (Mary’s in-law’s). It was great fun, even thought the Hogs got spanked by Alabama (oh well, better luck next year). This was Emma’s first tailgating experience, but Taylor is an old pro. Taylor has been Tailgating at the Bost’s since he was just a baby. Mary and I dressed Lucy and Emma in their matching Razorback outfits and they were a huge hit!!! Enjoy or pictures.

New Pictues of Our Babies

Okay so everyday is picture day in our house, but I just love updating this Blog.

Today Emma was cooing and talking so much. She is starting to get really excited about things and she will squeal and kick her legs and swing her arms. She loves looking at the animals go round on her swing. Thing are beginning to get fun at our house!!!




Taylor you either have your eyes closed or your finger in your ear in most pictures that I take of you these days.

Momma’s Little Boy

Taylor today you and I were outside jumping on the trampoline and after we totally exhausted ourselves we both plopped down and snuggled together, and you looked over at me and said “you are the best mom ever, we have so much fun together.” Then a few minutes later you said “mom I really hope God gives me another baby sister, baby sisters are just so sweet and cute and I really want another one.” Although 20 minuets later when we got in the house and I asked you to go to the bathroom and wash the trampoline grime off of your hands and you looked me straight in the eyes and said “mom your not my best friend anymore, and I don’t like you at all anymore.” Wow how your mood changes from minute to minute. I still love you nonetheless!!!

Mommy and Daddy are Growing Up

Today had to have been the single most stressful day in all of our six years of marriage. Today we made a decision that will have to last us at least 25 years. Today we purchased our very own grown up mattress. Not one of the ones that you go to Sam’s Club and buy (there is nothing wrong with this kind – this is what we bought when we first got married), but we actually went to specialty bedding store that sold nothing but mattresses. We had a lot of fun, but there were over 40 mattresses in this one store to lie on and make our decision from. This was truly a fun experience but stressful nonetheless. I really hope that we enjoy our new mattress as much as we think that we will. I’m not sure that they do returns on those things.

This also marks the week that we got our new bedroom furniture set. Ryan and I have been using hand me downs from my parents. They had this furniture when they got married over 30 years ago. You can imagine the shape that it is in. It is so wobbly that when I open the dresser drawer I just pray that the decorative stuff I have on top does not fall to the ground. As of right now our children have nicer furniture than we do. I can’t wait till it all comes in next week.

Emma is 8 Weeks Old

Wow it is so hard to believe that Miss. Emma Grace is already 8 weeks old now. She is doing such cute things at this point. Those first couple weeks are so hard to watch them grow up but now it is really starting to get fun. Emma is looking at us and cooing and smiling really big, and I think she is getting ready to laugh. Emma you are growing up to be such a beautiful young lady.

Debra and Sydney Come to Visit

This has been the best weekend. My dear childhood friend Debra and her daughter Sydney came to visit us all the way from Georgia. It has been a year since we have seen Debra and her family, and this visit was long overdue. Sydney is now two and growing up so fast and she is such a fine beautiful young lady. She is such a sweet little girl and she is the best eater. She has eaten everything that I have fixed or anything that is put in front of her. I would be terrified to take a trip like this with Taylor because I know that he would throw a fit when it would come to meal times. He would say something like “oh garbage.” He is so rotten (and picky) when it comes to his food.

The weather turned pretty cool today and since Debra and Sydney are from Southern Georgia they did not pack their fall clothes. We pulled out some of Taylor old clothes and put them on Sydney and they brought back the best memories of Taylor for me.

Thank you Debra and Sydney for coming to Arkansas to visit us – we enjoyed you so very much. Below are some pictures from our adventures.
