12 Months

We can't believe that a year ago we were in denial about going to the hospital and coming home with a new baby. She is a mischievous little girl who loves to wrestle and climb. She is definitely a mama's girl and she wants to play with everyone she sees, but won't let anyone hold her except her mama, daddy, and a certain teenage boy from Brazil. She loves to sing and laugh in the car, and she especially loves to dance, anytime music is on she starts dancing! She loves her brother more then anything. She also loves getting into the cupboard and getting out all the food. Her stomach is a bottomless pit and it feels like most days she eats more then I do.  

We sure love her!

 

She didn't know what to do with the cake at first, then I stuck some frosting on her finger and when she licked it she went all out and put both hands in the cake.

She loved her cake so much until she put chunks of it in her eye!



Hope got a baby doll and a few birthday cards. She liked the cards just as much as her doll.



 Then both kids had a big wrestling match with Dad

 The next day I had 4 kids under the age of 3. Hope loves that little girl, well she loved putting her finger in poor Bella's eye and mouth.

Turkey Day +37 photos

Our Thanksgiving this year was a little different. It consisted of good food with just our little family. However our little family consisted of one lethargic little girl and one coughing little boy. Our poor kids have gotten every sickness that is going around for a few weeks now. Both kids are on antibiotics and are slowly getting better. We like the meds they are on though, they make them sleepy and Hope has now slept through the night for 2 nights in a row, that hasn't happened in months! So we ate some good food, picked up pennies from our parking lot, we took naps and then headed out to see some Christmas lights in Collins, MS. We got lost trying to find them and when Spencer pulled over to ask for directions he ended up lighting a guys cigarette for him. He told Spencer to go one way, but that got us even more lost. Don't trust a man with no teeth and picks up used cigarettes to get his fix. Spencer then asked a man who I thought sounded more credible. But when Spencer got back in the car he said he might be slightly drunk. Moral of the story: trust the drunk man he knows where you need to be. Rhett was so excited to see Santa Claus and the Baby Jesus. Hope your Turkey day was just as memorable as ours was.

Also here are tons of photos of our kids in leaves, Thanksgiving festivities and a little girl with an Oreo. Yes I know maybe these pictures should be in different posts but that's not going to happen.

Also Spencer applied for doctor schools yesterday...Next August a brand new adventure is waiting for us
