Baby Shower!

Last weekend, my friend Lee & I hosted a couple's baby shower for our sweet friends Megan & Dave. They have a little boy on the way & we wanted to shower them with many blue things because they already have tons of pink for their precious little girl, Gracie.
It was a fun evening filled with friends, food, presents, & fun. The kiddos had a blast playing outside & eating cupcakes.
Congratulations Dave, Megan, & Gracie! We can't wait to meet Adam!!

Getting So Big!

Mallory is getting so big, I can hardly believe it. Here are some sweet pictures of her over the last couple of weeks. She's growing like a weed & she is so smart too. She can say her ABCs, she can recognize most of her letters, she can count to 10, and she knows all of her basic colors. Her vocabulary continues to explode & she is making complete sentences. We are so proud of our little girl! She continues to love to read, sing, color, do art project, watch Sesame Street, & dance. She has a kind heart, she's beautiful, she's polite, loves to help, her smile & laugh can light up a room, and is the sweetest little girl I know! To hear her sing "Jesus Loves Me", say "I uv you, Mama", say "I uv you, Dada" are just a few things she does that makes my heart melt.
I just had to take some time to brag on my little Angel Pie! I'm so blessed to be able to stay at home with her and share such precious moments with her!

Best Friends

Here are some pictures of Mallory, Charlotte, & Mattox that I took a couple of weekends ago. I've mentioned these girls before b/c they along with their families are very close friends of ours. Mallory adores both Charlotte & Mattox. I took some pics of Mallory & Charlotte one day while I was babysitting Charlotte. They have so much fun together. Then Julia, Jeremy, & Mattox came to visit us one weekend. Mallory & Mattox picked up right where they left off & of course I got some pics of them too. The 3 of them got to get together over the weekend and enjoyed being together. Mallory has known these girls since she was 2 months old. They have literally grown up together. We of course enjoyed hanging out with our sweet friends. It was a great weekend. And I only got pics of the kiddos...non of the adults!

My Little Helper!

Mallory loves to hang out with me while I'm cooking in the kitchen. She always asks "ah doing, Mama?" everytime I make a move or do something different. I have to tell her every little thing I'm doing...it is quite cute! Lately, I have been putting her to work which she just loves. I get something started and then she'll finish the mixing for me. She thinks she is so big and loves to help out. Here are some pics of my little helper. She is getting so big, I just can't believe it.

Meredith's 30th Birthday

Yes, on January 11th, I turned 30! I can't believe I'm 30. It is so crazy how the years have flown by! It was a great day. We enjoyed church then lunch with all of our friends. I was showered with love, cards, & presents. After we got home & Mallory had her nap, I got to open all my presents from my family! I was showered again with calls from family & friends, gift cards, money, Mary Kay, & the big surprise from Kevin & Mallory was a day at the spa. I get 5 hours of pampering! What mother doesn't need that! So I'm pumped about that! We finished the day off with some wonderful cookie cake & my 2 favorite people singing to me. Mallory was able to sing the whole "Happy Birthday" song with Kevin. It was the best present ever! She usually sings it "Happy You You" but this time, she sang it correctly. So adorable. I'm blessed beyond belief!

Date Night for My Birthday

On Saturday, January 10th, Kevin & I went out for a pre-birthday date night. Our friend, Maggie came over & watched Mallory for us while we enjoyed dinner at The Greenery & a movie. (Bride Wars-yes, I picked the chick flick) Before we left, we took some cute pictures of the 3 of us. I do love pictures so these made me happy!
It was great night out with my hubby and Mallory & Maggie had a great time together! Thank you, Maggie!! And thanks to my sweet hubby for taking me out!
