19 months...

This little girl will never understand just how much she is loved! 

She officially has her daddy wrapped around her little finger!

This picture shows so much about Emma.  The pants she has on are her favorite.  They are made out of the minky dot fabric and she calls them her "baby." (Pretty much anything really soft is referred to as a 'baby') She is wearing her brother's shoes..which she insisted on wearing.  She is crawling under the table..which shows her adventurous/always on the move side.  And of course, there is a 'papi' nearby!

She keeps us on our toes and laughing, that's for sure!

Sweet cuddles with Poppa..

.

I can almost guarantee that she was saying "stop" in this picture.  She always raises her little hand up like that and says it.

She is loved by her brother so very much.  That feeling is definitely mutual!

This is right outside the preschool area at our church.  Every time we are leaving she has to play on the 'ark' for a little while.

War Eagle!

"The paint goes on me, right?  What's this paper for??"

Sweet girl has been tackled more in her 19 months than I ever have.  The joys of having a brother!

Cup?  Check.  Papi?  Check.  Puppy?  Check.

Sweet girl still has no problem with meal time.  I am oh so thankful that it is not a fight to get her to eat.  I realize what a blessing that is.

Emma LOVES to swing!  "I want sing" is a common phrase I hear!

Trip to Oklahoma...

This November we took a trip to Oklahoma for Graham's 10 Year College Reunion.  He and his friends from college were so involved at OBU, so for them to go back for this was so much fun!  It was also a great chance for us to spend some good, quality time with  Graham's family.

Thankfully, our kids are rockstars when it comes to road trips!  I seriously think Watson could travel from Georgia to California without complaining one time.  Emma on the other hand...well...she did good, all things considered :)  The key was snacks, books, dvd's, snacks, crayons...and did I mention snacks??

It was a great trip, and totally worth the long drive!

Watson LOVES staying in hotels.  We were not able to leave Birmingham until after Graham got home from work, so we stopped in Arkansas on the way.  It was close to midnight by the time we got there and he stayed wide awake the whole time in the car ecstatic about staying in a hotel!  He kept telling us we would have to be very quiet because everyone else would be sleeping :) 

Sweet Emma had been asleep for a few hours by the time we got there.  She was so confused.  Watson was more than happy to tell her where we were, though, and lead the way to the hotel room! 

All rested up and ready to drive the rest of the way!

Hink has an array of hats, and Watson ALWAYS finds them!

Cuddles with Nannie - I'm not sure who enjoys it more!

I wish the quality of this picture was better because I absolutely LOVE it!  This is Emma with her Nannie and Car Car...so special!

Watson gives this trip a big thumbs-up!

Every time we are in Oklahoma, Watson sleeps with Nannie and Hink...which he loves!  Then, each morning he has "coffee" and cereal with Nannie and Car Car.  They make him a cup of milk with a splash of coffee (yes, my three year old LOVES coffee), and he cuddles down with them talking and watching cartoons!

Graham's best friends from college.  These are some of the greatest guys!!

Emma getting some hugs from Grandpa.  Our kids are so blessed to have such loving grandparents!

November...

November is one of my favorite months!  I LOVE the weather, the trees are beautiful, there's great football, it starts the holidays...it's just the best :)  Here's a quick recap of this month:

Watching football on the couch with my boy. 

Fan Day at church - food, inflatables, spending time with friends - fun all around!

This boy.  Oh how he has my heart!  And oh how queso has his heart :)  EVERY time we say we are going out to eat, he immediately says, "Can we go to Mexican? Can I eat chips?  Can I eat cheese dip?" This is truly the way to his heart :)

 I love living close to my sister and her family for so many reasons, but times like these are probably the biggest...Mel kept the two youngest during nap time one day so I could take these two to the library then out for a treat.  The friendship between these two is so very special!

Watson has been a part of a soccer program at his preschool called Happy Feet (or "Soccer Feet" as he calls it!)  Here he is in his team huddle.

Watson's class Thanksgiving party

It is a blessing being an aunt to these two.

So incredibly thankful for this lady.  She is truly the best mom I could ask for!

Out for ice cream!

Play dates have been in full swing this month as the weather has been so nice!  Watson loves playing with Parker - it's so fun to think that they will start school together in a few years!

Painting pumpkins

Turned in to this....

Thanksgiving - I, unfortunately, did not take many pictures this year...thankful I have these two though!

Out to lunch with our Life Group.  Thankful for these people!

Mel and Reynolds got a puppy!  This is our first dog experience and I love that little guy so much!  Gus (or "Gus Gus" as the kids call him) is the cutest little Boxer around!

Abby and Hampton had a Fall program at their Preschool.  I love these pictures of Mom and Dad with their grandkids...

 I took the kids outside one day for a little photo shoot.  They cooperated for a short period of time, and goofed around the rest of it :)
