blessed

My life has been blessed with 4 wonderful grandparents.

Meemo and Dada came to visit while the girls were at my parents, they are the girls only living great grandparents and i think that this picture is real special, i just love it!

Reunited and it feels so good!

We headed to Knoxville for the Memphis game with Michael, Chris and Claire. When we got their we met some friends in the Old City at Barleys. I realized how much i don't get out much when we got there and they carded me and i didn't even think to bring my license! After me and jonathan went all the way back to the hotel to get it...we had a great time!

With perfect football weather, we walked to the strip and ate at the roaming gnome or something, it used to be charlie peppers. Everything on the strip is different every time we go there.

On the deck overlooking the strip.

Some great East Tn people watching!!

Then it was time to tailgate and we met up with my college roomies!

Amy's parents had a tailgate and we had so much fun!

we had a great afternoon catching up

Thanks Alexanders for having us!!

The Vols put quite a stomping on the tigers, I kindof felt bad for my hometown team... key word being kindof... :) Chris certainly was not happy... however, i think Baby H enjoyed his/her first VOLS game! Maybe aunt alicia and uncle jonathan can convert him/her :)

i've got a fever...and the only cure is Nana and Daddy Jack

or Gran or Pops we still cant decide... :)

The girls stayed with my parents thursday night because we were heading to Knoxville Friday morning. Mom called when we were about to leave and said Evie had a fever. I was a little concerned because Ramsey had some stomach problems the day before so i was hoping she didn't have the same thing. They gave her tylenol and put a cold rag on her head and it broke quickly so we felt okay leaving. Who knows what it was, maybe teething. She was fine the rest of the weekend.

Baby girls first fever :(

Play group at the park

We had a great play date at the park Tuesday monring. My friend Stephanie was in town and she brought her sweet boy Robbins! I was so glad to meet him for the first time, he is precious!

Stephanie and Robbins

The girls playing

Hayley, Charlie and baby Garland in her belly:)

Nicole and Pearce

Nicole and i do stroller strides together also..she keeps me from being a slacker!

after the park Steph and i headed to her parents house and the kiddos took a nap and we got to visit and catch up. Then we headed to lunch at Salsa with Ashley and Amanda. We loved having you in town Stephanie! Come back to visit , better yet... move back home!!!!

double the giggles and double the grins...

....our life is TWO-riffic!

This is my favorite picture of them now

Evie can sit up by herself now!!

She is so proud of herself

Since we have hardwoods i surround them with pillows, we have had our share of not so graceful fall overs

this little stinker crawls the wrong direction!

my new favorite thing they do

reach out and watch Maddie

I wish we had gotten it on video but we took everyone to the dog park last week and Maddie gets so excited when you get close and she does these loud happy whines and Evie was doing it back to her in the car. It was so cute!! She keeps them entertained when she is in the car thats for sure.

"all you need is faith, trust and pixie dust"

Hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween! We had a fun first one over here:)

We headed to my parents house first and they gave the best candy...baby food!

Here are the tinkerbells flying through Nana and DJ's house

Then we went to our friends and trick or treated throughout their neighborhood.

We had a Char Char dragon, chunky monkey, tinktinks and a ralfie( bunny, but she looks like the kid from christmas story)

It was so fun with all the kiddos. The majority didn't know what was going on but the parents had fun! Here we are going to our first house.

Jonathan and i should have been peter pan and wendy...what were we thinking

The kiddos only lasted a little while, then it was time to watch the Vols play!

Evie was too tired to cheer on her Vols

I used to love to "fall Back" but with kiddos that extra hour just disappears :) They woke up exactly an hour earlier which i thought was funny and at night they seem to be tired sooner but overall it hasn't been as bad as i thought it would be. They have already gotten back in their routine i think, knock on wood...

Happy 7 month birthday girlies!

The girls have been busy this month! They have grown up so much and are doing so many new things. Please tell me time will stop soon. I held my friends new baby girl this wkd and realized i have already forgotten how tiny they used to be :(
We took a little photo shoot before church Sunday and got some funny pics

May i have a hug?

yes mother...

umm..move over Evie this is my shot

umm seriously... out of my shot

who me? i didn't do that...

A few happenings....
talking up a storm
chewing on everything.. and their toes
holding their own bottles
sleeping in their own beds( this one was hard but they kept rolling on top of each other so we figured it was safer)
scooting and turning all over the floor
rolling front to back and back to front
pushing up real good on their bellies
getting lots of blonde hair :)
reaching out for Maddie whenever they see her (my favorite)
responding and looking at us when we say their names
wearing size three diapers, drinking 7 ozs of formula and they split a jar of food once a day
Evie weighed 15 1/2 pds last week at the neurologist, but i don't know about Ramsey maybe a pound less, she certainly feels lighter!
Ramsey sits up by herself and Evie is doing great with a little help, she is getting stronger and stronger every day:)
