September...

I LOVE Summer - I love warm weather, the beach, swimming, the long days...it's the best.  However, every single year I am so glad when September comes around because we can finally start to get back in a schedule and back in the swing of things.  I'm a routine girl..for better or for worse..so this month is always a good one to me!

Every trip to the Galleria includes a ride on the carousel.  My sweet boy only wants to ride on the bench...one day we will talk him into riding one of the horses!

The bigger horse the better for this girl.  It is amazing how different they are!!

Love them so much - even when carrying all 60 pounds of them around the mall!

One of the highlights of the month was getting to make a quick trip to Atlanta to see my college friends.  They now officially all live in the Atlanta area so although it's hard knowing they are able to get together often, it makes it convenient to get to see all of them at once when I make the trip over!  The fam joined me this time and we stayed with Mollie Ann, Russ and their precious baby girl, Anna Claire.  Miss Kitty stole the show for my kids though...

8 kids and counting... Love these ladies and their babies so very much!

Emma LOVES makeup - every time I am putting mine on she runs over to put some on herself.  She is really becoming a pro at applying lipstick :)

Watson loves getting his haircut - and I cant resist taking a picture of that sweet smile!

School started back this month!!!!  I don't know who was more excited - them, or me :)  Like I said above - summers are so much fun, but it was definitely time...for all of us...for school to start back up!  Watson and Emma love school which I am so thankful for!


In just a month Emma went from loving her crib to begging for me to "take the wall down."  We finally caved and transitioned her crib into a toddler bed.  She was THRILLED!!  Sleeping has been interesting since we made the change, but hopefully she will get the hang of it soon!

Someone was a little excited about her new baby doll!

This dear friend of mine, Ashley, got married this month to a wonderful man.  The Lord has done an amazing work in Ash's life and it was an honor to stand next to her as she started this new stage of life. 

A picture of the two of us is rare these days so we have to take advantage of the times that we are dressed up!  Thankful that this man will always be my wedding date - couldn't ask for a better man to walk with through life.

Breakout Birmingham - we didn't escape, but we had fun trying!

Graham is known by many for his match-making skills.  Here is yet another couple that he is responsible for setting up.  Sarah Beth and Billy - two of the best, most genuine people you will find!

Trip to the zoo with sweet Levi



We attempted an all-cousin spend the night party at mom and dad's house this month.  Not much sleeping took place, but lots of fun was had by these three (and Emma...not pictured here because she was sleeping soundly in her crib upstairs!)
