Insta-January

I didn't do a great job blogging this month so here is my iPhone dump :)

We went on a date to Jim's Place Grille to support the Forrest Spence Fund!

 I finally finished and ordered our blog book for 2012!
Several of you have asked where i print my book. Im so sorry i should have put that info on here!
I use Blurb. They have a lot of choices so the first time i printed it i was a little overwhelmed but got the hang of it rather quickly. I am a little OCD :) so it was time consuming for me. It does it all for you though if that overwhelms you. I just liked to switch the pages up and stuff like that.  I have no complaints. The books are so nice!

 We have been taking naps by the fire

Ramsey loves writing everybody's names

Another date night with the hubs

 Ramsey likes to copy daddy's workouts

Nana also bought her a new ariel dress! She was so excited

 Ramsey and Reese got the dreaded stomach bug!!

Ramsey has never had a stomach bug and we almost made it a year without Reese being sick! It came and went quickly and they were good patients. I bathed my self all day in sanitizer but it didn't help because i got it also! yuck

 I repainted, antiqued and glazed the girls bathroom cabinets all by my self. 

I even used a drill an put on new hardware!

Jonathan was impressed :) 

The weather has been unusually warm so we have been playing outside!

 Look at the cross next to Reese! 

Evie is always with us :)

I made a veggie pizza for lunch one day 

Here is the recipe I got from my friend Stephanie

2 cans of crescent rolls

MIX

8 oz cream cheese

1/2 C sour cream

1 tsp dried dill weed

1/8 tsp garlic powder

CHOP

1/2 C broccoli, cauliflower, cucumber and carrots

Roll out the two cans of crescents and press side by side into a rectangle

Cook and then spread the mixture on top and sprinkle the veggies

Since i made it for lunch I halved the recipe

When I went to put the crescent roll in the oven i noticed leftover dinner in the oven from two nights before! haha At least the oven wasn't still on...

Ramsey is always making silly faces!

 my other cuddle bug :)

Jonathan posted a "beautiful" picture of me on instagram....ha

 so i had to repay the favor :)

 He bought me a shirt!

I do love my Reesey cup!

 The weather turned cold today but we still ventured out to the park

Reid is ONE!

Our nephew Reid had his first birthday this weekend!

I cant believe he is one, this means in 5 weeks Reese will be one! wow

Happy Birthday sweet boy!

 I love that they are so close in age!

Girls Trip!

I headed to Birmingham this weekend to meet my friends Stephanie and Anna. 

We had a great rip as always but missed Hayley!

We try to go somewhere every year, last year we went to Santa Barbara.

Friday we ate a low key pizza dinner and went for some ice cream

at Pink Berry. I loved it and wished we had it here!

Saturday we shopped all day and they introduced me to Momma Goldbergs, steamed nachos! Im obsessed with Doritos so this was amazing!

 Saturday night we made reservations for a nice dinner at Highlands Bar and Grill, a 30 year old restaurant. It was amazing and I ate things I have never eaten before. I am a very picky eater but I have gotten so much better. I ate Grilled brussel sprouts with parmesan and apple slices and Beef Carpaccio. I cant believe i ate it but so glad i did! delicious!

 We ended our dinner with  an Orange Thing" recommended by our friend Lisa!

 It was a wonderful trip with amazing friends!

Cant wait until our next trip!

Insta-2013

Its been an exciting new year so far!

Tiger games!

Ramsey spent a week in Orlando with my parents and went to Disney World!

 While i took down Christmas...Ramsey was swimming. 

No fair

We missed Ramsey but the girls had fun helping around the house 

She's home!!

Addie turned 4 and had a princess birthday party!

My pretty Cinderella!

After Addie's party we celebrated Jackson and Bailey Kate's 2nd birthdays!

Jumping with Garner
( notice we didn't want to change out of our Cinderella dress)

Exhausted!

Jonathan went out of town for work for a week so Nana was here to help out!

We sewed and painted furniture and cabinets

and thank goodness she was because Ramsey got a fever virus :(

We spent most of the rainy/sick week watching movies 

 but Friday it warmed up and we were feeling better so we spent some time at Evie's Garden

Me and all four of my girls

Then daddy came home! 

He of course went straight to work installing a new faucet

Whatcha doing dad? haha

Ramsey likes to give herself pedicures

Then Happy birthday to James and Ryder!

Looking forward to what this year will bring!

10 Months

Happy Birthday Reese!

You are furniture walking, standing on your own and crawling so fast!

You have 3 teeth with one more coming in. When you get teeth you get a high fever and this makes you pretty restless, especially at night.

You are nursing 3-4 times a day and eating everything.

You love grilled cheese, yogurt, avocados and bananas

You are such a happy, silly girl.

You had your first accident this month walking behind your push car thing. 

You fell backwards and it landed on your cheek :(

 You love this basketball goal Michael gave you.

You stand up and pull on the goal which makes the people cheer.

 This is how we spend our mornings. 

I bring you to our bed to feed you and we cuddle with Nala 

 You love Peek a Boo!!

Where's Reese??

Pea Pie!

haha

so now you like pacifiers....silly girl!

  You are pretty much a one a day napper, which is crazy to me. You sleep from around 11-2 then its hard to get you back down for a 2nd one, so you usually cat nap if we go somewhere at night.

You love crawling to me and wanting me to pick you up and of course I do it.

You love to cuddle when i pick you up and be rocked before bed. You lay your head down and tuck your arms in between us. I love it, it's so sweet. You have me wrapped around your finger for sure!

You are rotten!

 You are into EVERYTHING! Your sisters were not so this is new for us. We are having to watch you like a hawk. You love Nala's food and water bowls, outlets and toilet paper!

stinker!

 You LOVE looking at pictures of Evie around the house. You always want to touch them and her face. There is a connection there. It's a God thing, right Natalie?

 You love Nala and I have to watch you cause you love pulling her tail. 

It doesnt bother her she just tries to lick you while you do it! ha

 You are a goofball!!

 We love you sweet girl!
