anna kate frances is

t h r e e !

im not to sure how we are here already… but what a great three years it has been.  anna kate at three years old you talk as much as jack.  you are always trying to talk with your paci in your mouth.  seems like you could be a really good ventriloquist. you love anything kitties, princesses and pink.   you also love your brothers like crazy.   you call each of them your sweet baboo.  you recently really started to dance any time you can.   you have crazy memorization skills!   you are always there to make us laugh with your quirky humor and facial expressions.  we love you so much and look forward to having fun with you at   t h r e e !

kitty party

celebrations, sister, weekend in pictures

we had an early birthday for you miss anna kate! your cousins were at granny’s so we jumped on the opportunity to celebrate with them. i am so glad we did. it was so much fun to watch you enjoy every bit of this party time with them. you enjoyed pizza, cake, ice cream and presents! erika and bailey gave everyone a kitty face that was purrr-fect. we enjoyed watching watching aristocats afterwards and relaxing ….

this kitty cake could not have happened with out danas amazing cookie skills 🤗

we love you anna kate and we are so glad you were able to celebrate with your cousins! how are we celebrating t h r e e already ?!

gulf shores {2018}

{photography}, cousins

another great family vacation at gulf shores! we missed chad and mendy and their crew, as well as gramps and granny who weren’t able to make it either. richard fought off a sting ray to keep things exciting and there’s nothing like our late night visits. we say it all the time but we are so very blessed to have each other and that we all make the time to get together. there’s nothing like family and i am so, so happy that our kids are getting to experience this with cousins as their best friends. ❤️

can’t wait till the next time!

hello summer

cousins, sister, weekend in pictures

a quick trip back allowed us to let samuel go see dr. musgrove.   what a way to kick off summer,  he had a great report and won’t go back for a whole year! praise God!

we were so happy to be there for you bailey!  to celebrate the whole weekend and to kick off our summer with the family!  you did it!

california dreaming…

{photography}, kids

we did it!  we drove it in two days 🙂 and made some stops along the way…

pictures were not great but you have to document that we took you to see the grand canyon,  even when the kids aren’t feeling it 🙂


you kids were definitely feeling the beach life though.  we enjoyed california for an entire week!   i have to say… we were not ready to leave.  it was a week that we got to visit with nana and her sister, aunt freddy.  we did a cook out with the family, met friends to have smores,  enjoyed the beautiful surroundings and even fit in our first trip to disney land.  we literally enjoyed every minute of it and we are already talking about the next time we get to go back…

oh goodness, i know, picture overload but daddy and i just loved every bit of this trip…  we created such great memories.   and as always, we love seeing you kids explore with such fun and excitement!  the road trip back got long but y’all were troopers through it all.
