Exciting News!!!

Ruff and I are so happy to announce that we will be welcoming our second child in July. We feel so blessed and cannot wait to meet him or her. We will find out in three weeks what we are having! Yay! Anne Bailey is going to be the best big sister and is already practicing by taking such great care of her baby dolls. We are so excited that our little family is growing!

I found this super cute idea on Pinterest about shooting a series of photos where the big sister is holding up signs to share the good news. It sounded good in theory but obviously they were not trying to do it with a 1 year old. At first Anne Bailey pretty much refused to hold the poster board or have it anywhere near her. After a  few days of trying i got this...not exactly what i planned but still pretty cute!

"What am I guessing?"


Look who is going to be a big sister!!

Can't wait to meet our sweet baby on July 24, 2012

Checking out the baby on the sonogram (it should be turned toward the camera but she wanted to look at it)

Children's Museum of Memphis

On Wednesday we went to Memphis with our friends, Loren and Asa White and Latricia and Sixten Askew. The kids had so much fun sitting in the back seat together and passing food and drinks back and forth. Once we got in town we went to Houston's for a yummy lunch. The kids were so happy to be out of the car and were more excited about showing out for everyone than eating. Next we headed to the Children's Museum of Memphis to check out all the fun exhibits. Anne Bailey's favorite was definitely the disco tech. She could have stayed in there all afternoon dancing if I would have let her. They also had a blast playing in the toddler play area and shopping in the grocery store. After a fun afternoon it was time to head home with some very sleepy kids. We can't wait for our next road trip with our friends!

Ready for our trip to Memphis

A Fun Afternoon in Starkville

On Saturday we went to Starkville for the day to  have lunch and do some shopping. The day started out with great weather so we sat outside at Mugshots and enjoyed some yummy burgers. Anne Bailey loved being outside and watching all the cars and people go by. We stayed downtown for awhile and walked around to some cute shops. We had planned to go walk around campus  and the Rose Garden but it started raining so we just drove around campus pointing out all the buildings to Anne Bailey. After some more shopping we decided it was time to go. We had such a fun afternoon in one of our favorite places!

She went around the whole store giving all the bulldogs a kiss

Go Dawgs!

Ruff and I got away for a few days with Cole and Ryan Claire Wiygul and went to Nashville for the Music City Bowl. We ate lots of great food and hung out on Broadway with lots of other bulldogs fans. We were so lucky to be able to sit in The Bank of America box and watch the game. It was not the best game but thankfully we beat Wake Forest! We had such a fun little trip but were so excited to get back to our baby. Thanks Big Mike and DD for watching Anne Bailey while we were gone!


Go Dawgs!!


Christmas Playdates

Anne Bailey loves to play!! Anytime she wakes up from her nap or is done eating she says "play" in the sweetest little voice.  We took advantage of having lots of friends in town for the holidays and had some fun playdates. It is so sweet to watch little ones play together!
