Hello there

It has been awhile! I have a million excuses, but instead I'll just get right to it....The end of March we headed to Charleston to celebrate my cousin Burke getting married. It was fabulous! A road trip with friends and family, such a cool city, and delicious food and music...hard to beat.

Friday we went to the Wine and Food Festival, freezing but fun

nothing like a group of adults in a ball pit :)

We went to a blow dry bar Friday, followed by a makeup application...glamour shots! 

dinner at McCradys, delicious!

met Sean Brock, I love getting pictures with the chef....James spots them, and then I run up and embarrass everyone

fun times at the after party

ready for the wedding with my hot date

with the happy couple!!! 

Love the Busters!

Hopefully I will continue with the updates!

Christmas Time

Warning: Picture Overload!!!! and sadly all from my phone, my "real"camera didn't make it out this Christmas season. 

First off Santa, this is the first year we really talked about Santa and the boys asked questions. It was pretty funny. "Momma how does Santa get down the chimney?" Typical Lane question-logistics and mechanics. I answered something to the effect of a harness system. 

poor Holds, he couldn't wait to see Santa, and then when the time came, he freaked. (very typical Holden, big talker!)

Happy Birthday Jesus at school

Bass Pro trip...no Santa pic because Holden said "he not like Santa". I was fine with that as there was a long line.

Mary Russell and Annie at the Russell Christmas Party

so excited for these two! getting married!!

another generation singing carols

we made a fun trip to Montgomery to celebrate Kristen's birthday

this was one night after all of the Holiday festivities, Christmas time is fun but exhausting

opening presents with the Garners, Holden was so happy! Aunt J delivered

Fair was pumped about her cash (little did she know at the time, it was for her trip to NYC that Santa arranged for them on Christmas!)

Christmas with the Jones boys, super hero capes and Sumo Boppers=happy boys

Christmas Eve before Church

Christmas morning had a certain theme: Spiderman

well minus Luke, no spiderman for this happy nugget

After seeing what Santa brought at our house, we loaded up and headed North. The boys were so excited! Santa and Moulton in one day was their idea of heaven!

playing more Spiderman

loved these two Auburn engineers trying to figure out the toddler toy, they didn't give up!

We had a wonderful Christmas, is really is so much fun with the boys this age. 

Between Jesus's birthday parties, family parties, and Santa presents, they were on a month high. 

Back to reality in January!

Holidays

 Holidays with small children can be so much fun, but also so exhausting! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving, spending time with both of our families. 

This little boy is learning to go with the flow...

Lane had a Thanksgiving program at school, and it was precious. It continually blows my mind how much they learn at two and three years old.

Lane was an Indian

with Foster Jones, their best buddy. Holden was a turkey. Very appropriate

They are very into guns and hunting thanks to Pal. They shoot chipmunks, armadillo, and deer. 

And animals on tv

wish I got a better shot, but Pie and Pal with their grands

blurry but so sweet

two peas in a pod

Hardy busy cracking stone crabs our fams thanksgiving tradition thanks to my generous grandparents

Holden said he wanted his picture taken too

Luke will be tough thanks to this big brother

up next Christmas and Four months...course it might be awhile :)
