September Recap...(the first half!)

Finally...a recap of the FIRST half of SEPTEMBER!

Basically we became adjusted to a family of 4
(because lets face it...Ace is mainly forgotten about these days!)

 
This was the first time both babies fell asleep on me...I had to take the picture myself (cause daddy wasn't home) but it just made me feel so so blessed that God is allowing me to be a mommy to both of these innocent children.  


Here are several pictures of lil man sleeping...he pretty much did that the entire month...




We went to walmart for the first time with both kids...we realized that you have no room in the cart with both of them...guess we won't be buying much when we have two!  
Graham went to church when he was 1 week old...yep...you read that right...he was there to see his pic on the screen to introduce him to the church...(mommy just needed to get out of the house for a few hours!) 



The next day was Labor Day and we actually went to publix that day!

Thankfully this summer we purchased a new to us slide/basketball goal combo for Georgia Grace for 20 bucks and she has really enjoyed it while she has had to share attention now with her baby brother.  





 Just watching the two of them try to figure out who the other is just melts my heart!






 Lazy mornings in our pajamas are some of our favorite times around here!


The ipad has also been a lifesaver especially during Graham's feedings!


The day after Graham turned 2 weeks mommy could finally drive!  WOO HOO!  
She decided to take both kiddos to the park! 





Such loving Big sis to her Lil bro!

That weekend was the start of flag football...

Here is Georgia Grace last fall season...


and here she is now!





Such a big girl!

Graham had his 2 week appointment that next Monday!  



He was healthy and had already gained up to 8 lbs and 22 inches long
and 14 inches head circumference!

Check out baby girls FIRST ponytail!!  It didn't last long...but I got her to finally let me do it by distracting her with crayons!

That night we took Graham to his first Shealy's experience!  (no pics though!) 

But check out this precious picture of Georgia Grace loving on the teddy bear my dad gave me the last valentine's day he was alive (my first year married!) It just melts my heart!


The next day I took both kiddos to Edventure and Graham got his first bottle! 
I started pumping within the first week of coming home with him but didn't actually give him a bottle until I got the go ahead from the pediatrician!  He did pretty good with it and took it fine from me!




That Wednesday GG and Liam got to play at the park together...and then Jude and Graham just laid in the sun! 




  
Look at these awesome pics Meg took from her GOOD camera - not iPhone!





And Big sis gave Lil bro a bottle! Such a sweet Instagram!




on Thursday we went to lunch with Katie and Knox and went to see their new house! 
Unfortunately I didn't get any pics of that but lil man did turn 3 weeks! 


Friday we met Lauren and Hannah at the zoo! We had a blast!

Graham slept pretty much the whole time!


 Then we met daddy for lunch downtown


The next day (September 15th) we took both kiddos to see the bulldogs play!
Yep...Graham went out of state for the first time at 3 weeks old and attended a college football game...I will add those pictures to the next post...promise!

July Recap...

And this is it...we will be ALL CAUGHT UP when this blog post gets finished...

Here are some of the highlights in July!

We went to the Peach Festival in Gibert on the 4th of July!




 We had friends over for a cookout and some pool time...and of course 
Homemade peach cobbler and APPLE PIE!
 Then we ended the evening with some fireworks at a local church!  Luckily Josh's parents live right next door so we watched from their yard rather than fighting a crowd!  It was fun!  Georgia Grace loved all the toys Josh's mom had for her to play with!  Especially the cap gun...HA!





But when the fireworks started she got pretty scared.  
She never cried but was shaking and very tense.
Poor thing!

Then our best friends, Joe and Meg, got a crazy call saying they got New Kid On The Block...so here is Jude on his first day home!  

 Georgia Grace wasn't too excited at first but then she realized she could just play with Liam...we might have a little jealousy when Graham comes...

The next week I got sick with what I thought was just pregnancy junk but then a couple days later Jesse got sick...so it was definitely the stomach bug...YUCK! 

That week was a pretty worthless week...we did a lot of this...

Once Jesse got sick and I was better I took Georgia Grace to Kmart to run around and play...yep!  I am that parent who lets their child play in the store...but really...who goes to Kmart...it's not crowded and she was having cabin fever!




When Jesse and I started feeling better we took Georgia Grace to good ole Jason's Deli...



She loves their all you can eat icecream!  

(and we love IKEA for their full coverage bib!)

We decided to get started on Graham's room the next week...

Nana came over and painted the room...
while Georgia Grace played


Mary Margaret and Kellee came over and painted the furniture...
 
and Georgia Grace painted with water!


I made some stuff to go in it...




We went to Jack's 3rd birthday party...





Jamie had a shower for Graham at her house...complete with one of these...(I will get more pics soon, I promise!) 


And then all my C2 girls went to dinner to celebrate the new babies!


We also did other fun things this month like Edventure...
















 And the zoo...

And shopping...



And eating...





The park...

And relaxing at home...



(everyone likes to read a book in the bathtub, right?!)

Look how long her hair has gotten...

And she LOVES to put on makeup...


The last weekend of July, Jesse took me on a "babymoon" before Graham comes.

We went to Greenville and then Charlotte...we had a blast!





 

So did Georgia Grace...


 Thanks to the Kirkland's and Farr's for offering to keep Georgia Grace!

When we got back we had some maternity/18 month pictures done by our favorite photographer...Jamie Dodson with LuLo Photography. 
Here are some of the pictures...




The last day of July, Crossover had a swim party to celebrate the end of summer!

Liam came with us so his mommy could enjoy a morning free of boys and get her hair done!

They had a blast!




 We had such a fun time in July...now on to August to add a new baby to the mix!
