Presley at 4 months!

Time is flying by so fast. I cannot believe that our little Presley Anne is now 4 months old! She is such a calm, sweet, and charming little girl. She smiles at anyone and ADORES Brooke so much. She smiles in awe when Brooke talks to her and plays around her. Brooke is so sweet to her and is constantly saying how excited she is for Presley to grow up. She cannot wait to: have Presley sleep with her, take baths together, share cookies, and share popcorn. Sounds like sharing will be a breeze, right?!! HAHA.... I know, a girl can dream, right?!

Presley went for her check-up and here is her growth chart:
Weight- 14.75 lbs. (72%)
Height- 25.5 inches (88%)
Head- 16.24 inches (56%)

This is how Presley sucks her fingers! She doesn't really like the pacifier, this is her version of sucking her thumb! Too funny!

Yep, we produce some big cheeked babies!

Ready to get in the car!

Loving some tummy time!

Halloween!

We had a such a great time Halloween weekend! We went to a Halloween party Saturday night with just adults and we were so impressed with how much everyone dressed up! Scott and I were cereal killers (get it?!!) and we had a blast! We loved hanging out with everyone and danced our little hearts out! Sunday was so much fun with the kids. This was the first year that Brooke really got what was going on. She had SO much fun in our neighborhood parade and loved trick or treating!! It was so much fun watching her and her friends running from house to house...they were so excited! Our outfits!

My 2 little princesses!

Bridget, Marc, and the kids come to visit!

Bridget and Marc took a road trip from Florida to come up and see the leaves changing! They went to Savannah, Greenville, and then were headed onto to a couple of other cities. They were craving some Fall weather and wanted to show their 4 year old son what the leaves look like this time of year. We had such a great 2 days with their family and are trying to persuade them to move here. :) We loved seeing their 2 adorable children (Phelim is 4 and Shamus is almost 3 months). We cannot wait to see them again soon!! How precious is he?!!

Brooke had a blast with Phelim!

It had been way too long since we had seen them!

Such a great family!

Phelim is welcome in our family any day!

Tiffiny and kids come to visit!

One of my good friends from college, Tiffiny, came to visit with her 2 children. Her son, Rhett, is 4 years old, and her daughter, Chloe, was born 2 days after Presley! Tiffiny lives in Hawaii but had been on the mainland for about a month while her husband was working in Virginia. Her husband is headed overseas for a while so she decided to take a road trip to see friends and make her way down to Florida to see her family. She stopped here for a night and we had such a great time hanging out. She and the kids came to Brooke's dance class with us and then we went downtown for lunch and some park time. We miss you Tiffiny!! Brooke still asked where "that boy" is!!...hee hee Presley and Chloe!! So cute! Chloe is the sweetest little girl...she smiles all the time!

These 2 got along so well...Brooke kept calling him "that boy" the whole time! Too funny...

HUGS!

We haven't aged a day since college, right Tiff?!! :)

Too cute!

I wanted to share these couple of pics of the girls and our family. I love Presley's smile so much and the one of the 2 girls is one of my favorite!

Look at those sweet cheeks!

HAHAHAHA!!

Happy Anniversary!

Happy 6 year anniversary to the most wonderful man I know. I cannot believe that 6 years has gone by so fast and feel so blessed that our lives are so full of love. 6 years of so many eventful times....having 2 children, buying 2 houses, moving to a new city/state, job loss, new jobs, moving away from friends, making new friends, finding a wonderful church, date nights, and so many more. Through the ups and downs of day to day, there is no other place that I would rather be then with my man and our children.

In saying all of this, I am promising myself that we will never plan another anniversary trip again! This was the 2nd year in a row that our anniversary plans have been voided due to sick children. Last year Brooke had pneumonia and this year the strangest thing happened to Presley. We were planned to leave for Savannah, GA last Saturday morning to spend the night there. Friday night my Mom stayed at our house since we were getting up early on Saturday. At 3am on Friday night, Presley woke up hysterically crying and was having a hard time breathing. She had lots of mucus stuck in her throat and nothing we were doing was helping her. We jumped in the car and headed to the ER because she was having a tough time getting air. Of course by the time we got to the hospital she was smiling, cooing, and was in a great mood. We had her checked out anyway and everything was fine. They said it was just mucus that was stuck in her throat and to flush her with saline often. Even though we knew she was fine, we still couldn't leave her just thinking that it could happen again. SO...we ended up having a great day anyways. We left our house around 11am (without kids) and headed to the big restaurant festival downtown. We stayed there for about 4 hours and ate, drank, and had the best time!! Next we headed to a friends house to watch some football and then we went out for a fancy steak dinner at a restaurant we've been wanting to try. It was such a wonderful day together and it didn't even matter that we didn't leave town. We were just so excited to spend the day together.

These are some pictures that I took last week and some my Mom took this weekend.

The girls!

Brooke playing with the neighbors... Coloring with Nana...

We took the kids back to the festival on Sunday. So much fun!

Presley was awake! Trying to get a family picture!

Dancing in the Rain

About a week ago we got a decent amount of rain. Brooke was so excited to get out and play in it one afternoon. It was so much fun watching her dance around having a blast!!
