Aunt Lala, Uncle Clint and HG's visit

So sorry it took so long for me to post 
these pictures from Hayley Grace's visit. 
We started potty training last week and I have been
pretty consumed with it. 
I would say that this house is 
successfully diaper free!! 
(at least for the next 5 months haha) 
We definitely use pull ups at sleeping time, 
but otherwise, Ella Rae always uses the potty!

Now, onto the pictures!!


 Finally holding my sweet niece
 
Gigi happy to have her granddaughters
 
Ella Rae stayed very close to "Baby Hayley" especially during feeding time
Auntie Leslie and Hayley Grace
 
The first time we tried going to the beach- it was cold and rainy

 
But we ran down to the water and snapped a quick pic anyways
You guys already saw this sweet picture....
 but I think this one is EVEN SWEETER!
 My sister and I with our DAUGHTERS... crazy!
 
Gigi with her GRANDDAUGHTERS... even crazier!
I took the opportunity to feed HG any chance I got :)
 
The girls in cute matching outfits

 
Ella Rae reading to Hayley Grace
 Leigh Ann and her bff, Dana at the 'sip & see' party we held for HG
 The whole family after the party
 
Kelly and I feeding our niece... and preparing for this again in December :)
 The beach was much nicer the next time we went. 
Ella Rae enjoyed playing with Aunt Lala
 She jumped waves with Dana and her daughter, Mattie.
 
And she loved riding the boogie board in the waves!
 
Stopping for a quick picture with mommy and Aunt Lala

Hayley Grace slept under the umbrella like this the whole time we were there!
So sweet

Her Mommy and Daddy finally woke her so she could dip her toes in the water
 
The whole crew at the beach- minus Kelly who was working, of course!
 Ella Rae loves playing at Dolphin Head playground!
 One more adorable matching outfit!!
 By the end of the week, Ella Rae was helping feed Hayley Grace. 
She will be a great big sister!
And one last picture of my sweet, sweet niece!!

We ALL miss her so much!
Of course we miss her Mommy and Daddy, too.
The next time we are all together will be Christmas
and there will be three grandchildren!
I can't wait to see all these cousins grow up together!

FIGHT FOR PREEMIES

Image
Today, November 17, is Prematurity Awareness Day! This cause is near and dear to my heart because our sweet Ella Rae was born 6 weeks premature. We were definitely on the upper side of the 'premature spectrum' so to speak, as many babies are born waaay earlier. We did, however, spend 14 days in the NICU after Ella's birth. It was a whirlwind to say the least. Did you know that 1 out of 8 babies are born premature? And the amount of premature births has risen 30% since 1981. That means too many babies are coming early and too many parents have to endure the unknown of their child being born prematurely. Today is a day to fight for those babies and families. In honor of Premature Awareness Day, I thought I would share some pictures of Ella Rae's Birth. The very first photo ever taken of Ella Rae. Kelly took this picture through the door when they were evaluating Ella right after she came out. A few minutes later they allowed Kelly in the room. Of course that left me alone

What's YOUR song?

Image
Today I am joining Goodnight Moon's link up party where we share a song. It's no secret that we (Ella Rae and I) are fans of Justin Bieber and I absolutely love this song of his. He is only 17, but he's got a wonderful heart and donates a lot of money and time to many different charities and organizations. We are definitely fans! And a sweet picture of my girl, just for fun!! Happy Thursday Everyone!

travels, visits and pics

Things have been pretty crazy round these parts lately. Ella Rae has definitely started acting like the old adage “terrible twos”. She certainly hasn’t been terrible by any means, just different. More active, busier, and she hasn’t been sleeping great. That means when she IS sleeping, I am taking some mommy time. Blogging just hasn’t been my top priority when there is always a sink full of dishes and multiple loads of laundry  to be washed and folded. We are counting down to Baby T’s arrival. My niece or nephew is due this Saturday so we are anxiously awaiting a “My water broke” call or a “I’m being induced on this date” call. Either way, I can’t wait to be an Aunt!!!  Here is Lala at 38 1/2 weeks! Doesn’t she look AMAZING!?! That being said, we are all getting ready to travel to Albuquerque!! Gigi and Grandaddy leave on Thursday and will stay almost 3 weeks. It will be Gigi’s longest time away from Ella Rae AND her longest time away from home ever since being married!! Baby T sure
