My little cowgirl!!!

Anna Grace LOVES to ride her horse......she has to have a little help though.


She will start to belly laugh because she is having SOOOOO much fun!

It is absolutely adorable!!!

I just love her little dimples when she grins real big:)

Look at those chubby little arms.....

What a bundle of LOVE!

Giddy up baby girl!!!!

Pulling up

I can't believe my baby girl has been pulling up since around 7.5 months old! I don't remember Reed doing this at her age.

I feel like time has FLOWN by already and my baby boy has now all of a sudden turned into a BIG boy!!! It really makes me sad. I love every minute of being a mommy, but it definitely is WAY different having 2 kiddos:) So much fun though!

Anna Grace can pull up and hold her self steady and ease back down to sit on the floor!

She is busy but continues to be a very content baby:)

She is such a sweetheart! LOVES to cuddle and will usually go to just about anyone.....she loves her daddy too. She just lights up when she sees him!!! Love that:)

She is so curious and just loves to explore!

Having a toddler and an 8 month old who is crawling and pulling up everywhere is super busy...... but I would not trade it for the WORLD!!! I LOVE being a mommy!!!!

Sacked out in her swing:)

Play date with Lawson

My husband and some of his friends went to Montana to run in a half marathon about a month ago. I stayed in Fayetteville and was a single mommy for the weekend! Usually, I take off to my mom and dad's but I really just did not have the energy to pack up the car. I did manage to schedule a girl's night out on Friday night with a few of my friends. We went to Bordinos for a delicious dinner and had a fabulous time! I always forget how nice it is to get together with some of my besties:) We laugh until we cry or pee our pants....lol! Anyway, it was a much needed break for me for SURE! I love my kiddos to death, but it sure does help to get some girl time!

Saturday, I was lazy and just hung out with my babies.....we did not even get out of our PJ's until that afternoon! Sometimes, it is just nice to lounge and not feel the least bit guilty about it!:) Lauren called to invite Reed and Anna Grace over for pizza and a play date outside. Reed was super excited about seeing his buddy Lawson! He kept on saying....."I wanna go see Lawson....mommy" over and over again about a MILLION times until we pulled up to their house. It was cute how excited he gets to see his sweet friend. They played outside, jumped in the baby pool, played with "Woody", drove trucks around, Reed crawled through their doggy door a MILLION times, and ate pizza of course. Anna Grace was crawling and pulling up everywhere so it was busy, but I did manage to get a good visit in with Lauren:) We had so much fun and the kiddos were WORN out when we left!

Sunday, I was determined to get the kids ready for church all by myself for the very first time. I was worried how I might get them both inside since Reed still likes for me to carry him. We have the sweetest greeters that welcome us there and help me carry Anna Grace into church. It worked out just fine. We LOVE Cross Church!!! We all took really long naps after church! We had such a fun filled weekend and by Monday we were sooooooo glad to see daddy!!!! I think he was pretty happy to see us too:)

Sweetie Pie;)

Here is our little.......





Sweetie Pie!!!





I can't help but LOVE her!!!





She makes my heart melt;)

Full of Life!

There is one thing I can say about Reed.....he is FULL OF LIFE!!! He has so much energy and loves to go full speed ahead all the time! He is always making us laugh and can come up with the funniest things;) I just love my little man so much and enjoy watching him grow. I wish I would write down some of the funny things he says....His new thing now is saying....."mommy, I wake up" after he layed down for a nap for about 5 minutes. I will say "Reed...you never even closed your eyes!" lol! Another thing he has done is.....went #2 outside in the backyard...yes, like a dog! I'm really not sure where he got this one from? There is really something everyday..I should take a minute just to write it down. He does amaze me how smart he is...I may have to brag a minute....We have this book called "First 100 words" and it has pictures with the name under the picture....he LOVES it! He can name every animal in the book even the hard ones like.....penguins, hoot owl, and camel.... It makes me a very proud momma;) He brings so much joy to our family and we are so blessed with a fun loving little boy! I can't believe he is almost 2.5 yrs old!!! Here are some pictures that make me laugh!
