Tagged

~Tagged~
I was tagged in the picture game.
The object of the picture tag is to:
1) Choose the 4th folder where you store your pictures on your computer.
2) Select the 4th picture in the folder.
3) Explain the picture.
4) Tag 4 people to do the same. No cheating (cropping, editing, etc.) Have fun!!!

Ok, I know you will have to contain yourself because this picture is so exciting! Actually, it does bring back so many sweet memories for me as this was a picture of Lainie's nursery. I took it before she was born so I could show everyone how her little nursery turned out. I can hardly believe she is already two years old and now in a big girl bed.

Now, I tag:

The Day After Christmas

The day after Christmas, we all packed up and went to Fayetteville to spend some time at Kimie and Tyler's house. Brooke and Scott got a trampoline from Santa, so the kids wanted to check it out. Lainie had lots of fun playing with the drum set, as well as Brooke's keyboard. She and Scott could form a band with all of their musical insruments, and Brooke would love to be the lead singer! :)

All I Want for Christmas....

is my first tooth!! Sweet Emmie got her first tooth on Christmas Day. Aunt Kimie was actually the first one to notice it. She got her bottom left tooth and seems to be working on the bottom right one as well. In addition to her first tooth, she rolled over from tummy to back on Sunday and sat up this week. She is still pretty wobbly, but can sit up without help in the tripod position.

Check out this sweet, happy girl! She is the BEST little thing. We would have never known she was working on a tooth by the way she acted. She is happy, happy and such a content baby.

Christmas Eve

We all made the drive to North Carolina last weekend and spent the week with my parents. Tyler, Kimie, Brooke and Scott came over on Christmas Eve and Michael flew in that day as well. We had a great time hanging out with everyone. Brooke and Scott really understand Christmas and Santa, so it was alot of fun to watch them on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning. Lainie still is too young to really "get it." Hopefully, next year she will be a little more into the festivities.

Christmas - Round 1

Before we left for North Carolina, we had Christmas with Justin's family. We went over to Erin and Mick's house and had Christmas dinner with them. His parents were able to join in on the festivities via the web cam!

Spring Hill Parade

Paige, Calie and I decided to take the kids to see the 1st Annual Spring Hill Parade this year. Kade, Maddie Grace and Lainie all had such a great time and loved watching everyone! There were lots of little floats and people marching, bands playing, etc. We had such a great time! The three babies stayed home with their Daddies since it was so cold outside.
