Birthday Parties and Anniversary Weekend!!

Last weekend we were super busy celebrating birthdays and Chris and I celebrated our 12 year wedding anniversary!! 

I worked on Saturday and then we headed to cute little Brayden’s first Birthday party!! 

Maddox had a “ball” playing in the balls!!

The Birthday Boy!!

Keleigh, Darion, Jocelyn and Me

We used little Ryder as a table.

Chris and the youth pastor Eric love to pick around with each other and wrestle.

All of a sudden the whole back yard heard a big scream and crying!!  It was my Maddox…he gets so upset when people wrestle his Daddy.  I guess he thinks they are really fighting.  It’s kind of pitiful and hilarious all at the same time.

Maddox enjoyed his cupcake and what is even funnier…he ended up with about 3 colors of icing on his face by the end of the party.  I think he was snatching other peoples cupcakes too!

Saturday evening we stayed in and watched the Gamecocks get beat by Auburn…boo!

Sunday was our 12 year wedding anniversary!!  Aunt Jay Jay and Unc Kev kept M and R for us.  We originally planned to go to the mountains for the day but we ended up going shopping for the boys some winter clothes!  We started out with a nice big breakfast from Cracker Barrel and ended up in Gaffney at the Prime Outlets.  It was a great day of quality time with my oldest Baby!!  I am so thankful for Chris and all that he does for our family.

We headed back to Joy’s in time to celebrate with all the rest of the family for Tori’s Birthday!! She turned the big 8 on September 30th!!  I can’t believe how fast she is growing up…seems like last year we were celebrating her 1st Birthday!

Caine is growing up so fast too.  He just keeps getting more handsome every day!!

Maddox had sugar overload this weekend!!

Ryder has on his “Star of Mommy’s Blog” bib!!

My crazy family….we love to cut up and show off the food we are chewing in pictures!! ha!

I get this look a lot from my hubby…thankfully…he just lets me be!!

I think Ryder looks more like me…what do y’all think???

No party is complete w/out getting your nails painted!!  Tori is trying out her crackle polish on LaLa!!

So what is Tori into these days???  Anything zebra and anything Justice!!

I’m not sure now what we did on Monday and Wed (my days off) last week but my camera said I took these pics of Ryder.  Thank God for pictures!!

Now I’m almost caught up!!

If I Could Make A Living Out of Loving You…

I’d be a millionaire in a week or two…I’d be doing what I Love and Loving what I do…If I could make a living out of loving you!

I’ve had on my mind a lot lately how much I want more time at home with my boys…and for some reason that old country song popped into my mind!!  I sure wish Love was enough to get me some more hours a week with my loves!  I know the situation is in God’s hands and he will work it all out according to his plans!!

I am sooooo thankful that my Mom keeps them when I work but that doesn’t change the fact I miss them and that by the end of the day…my heart feels home sick for them.

Okay…sorry for all the whining.

Here is what we’ve been up to! Last Monday we went to Caine’s ballgame!!

Papaw and Ryder!!

I got to utilize my 55-300 mm lens!!

Caine is becoming quite the little baseball player!!  I’m so proud of him!!

I am sitting on the bleachers behind home plate and Caine is on 3rd base….can you believe how close the pic is!!

There is a bunch of cuteness going on here!!

I was in the kitchen and Maddox said “Mommy look”, so I walked into the living room and he had put this football in Ryder’s lap.  Maddox was so excited and Ryder was doing so good holding onto it….Maddox told me to take a picture (he has me figured out)….it was a sweet moment!!

Wednesday, Andrea and Taylor stopped by for a visit! I can’t get over how fast our babies are growing. Taylor is just as big as Ryder and he is 3 weeks younger.

I checked the mail on Wed and I had a fun package of some new leg warmers!!  I love some baby leg warmers!!  I like to order mine from My Little Legs…they have some really cute ones and the more you order…the cheaper the price!!

How funny is this face!!

In the words of my blog friend Kimberley…..I Die!! (at the cuteness of those baby feet!!)

Hope everyone’s week has started off GREAT!!
