Christmas Festivites!

We have been trying to fit in just as much as we can before Weston's arrival!
We stopped in at the local Christmas gathering here in town for a
carousel ride

The Historical Museum in Little Rock also had a Christmas event!

With most of the shopping done and the decorations up now we are just playing the waiting game!

Girl Time!!!

We were quite excited to have Aunt Chris and Miss Emma Kate here for the weekend

I was surprised we found the time for a photo op this trip considering all the work we did this weekend. Aunt Chris filled our house with all kinds of baby necessities and was quickly put to work assembling and explaining how they all work. I didn't realize how much I had forgotten or how much things have changed in the past 5 years! It was a great time and I definitely feel much more prepared for the arrival of Weston here in just a few weeks!

Weston's Baby Shower

We are so grateful to have such wonderful friends and family to share in the celebration welcoming our sweet baby boy into the world. Miss Lauren Davis and Mrs. Sheryl Young were so gracious to throw our shower and it was truly wonderful! These two sweet ladies go by the names "Aunt LaLa" and "MeMe" around our house and are more like family than friends. We are grateful to both of them for so much and are so lucky to have them both in our lives.

Gracie was a big help when it came to opening all the presents for her brother and quite excited to get it all home and set up for him.

We were joined by friends we have known our whole lives
who have often doubled as second Mother's

New friends recently met

and even some of Gracie's friends!

Family made it in from out of town

and a very proud Grandmother of 5 and Great-Grandmother of 4!

It was a wonderful day, shared with wonderful people. We can't wait for everyone to meet Mr. Weston who is scheduled to make his grand entrance December 12, 2011.

Happy Halloween!

Miss Gracie was quite excited about her Butterfly costume this year!
She looked beautiful as always and we had a wonderful
evening.

James and Ashlynn dressed up as Princess Jasmine and Count Dracula

We even met up with some friends and made the rounds. The kids had so much fun and of course ate way to much candy!

Happy Fall Ya'll!

Well I definitely look like I have swallowed a pumpkin for Halloween! Gracie is in constantly in disbelief at how much my tummy has grown. She loves feeling her baby brother kick and roll around. We have been reading and singing to baby Weston at night.
Last Sunday while at church I was sitting down and Gracie was standing in front of me. Every time she would lean back on my tummy he would give her a good kick. She finally turned around, knelt down and said "quit already". She really has no idea what she is in for! (35 weeks)

Life at the Beach with Gracie!

Here are a few more pictures from our little mini-vacation to Destin, Florida. As you can see Gracie had a BLAST! She loved the beach and has been asking her Daddy non-stop when we are going back because she really needs another vacation. Life is tough as a 5 year old you know!

She and MeMe made a beautiful drizzle sand castle!

By the last day we were both pretty toasty so we opted for hats and t-shirts! We did come home with a nice "Florida Glow" though!

This last picture is one of my favorites because it was just so precious to see her lying in the sand, wind blowing through her curls while she was singing one of her favorite Taylor Swift songs! I love my sweet baby girl!

Wish we could spend every evening just like we did this one. There is nothing better than snuggling with my sweet daughter, laughing and watching her play all while enjoying the most beautiful painting God could have painted for us! I am truly blessed!

Beach Bum!

I have a feeling Gracie is going to kick my butt for posting this one but it "cracks" me up every time I see it! She was really enjoying the view I guess, but I think the view we were all getting from inside was even cuter.
