My little manner queen

Clary is talking more everyday. It really amazes me that everyday she says something new. She has been saying "Thank you" now for a long time but recently if you don't respond fast enough for her she will follow it with "Your Welcome". I guess sometimes our manners just don't meet her standards!

Family Fun Day

Today was a fabulous day! Clary got to go meet a friends brand new horse (only 4 days old). If you don't know horses (or Hehes) are Clary's favorite. She LOVED the horse and of course had NO fear! She wanted to go right over and pet them all and even tried to get on one! We also got to spend a lot of unexpected time together as a family today - loved it! Oh yeah a we picked up the piggy bank we painted for Azaria!

It's ALL about Travis

Tonight we celebrated Travis and his HUGE accomplishment of getting his bachelors degree. Can I say again how extremely proud of him I am? Travis not only graduated but maintained a full time job, being the youth leader at our church, a husband, and the father of two! It was wonderful to not only get to show him how much I love him but how proud his friends and family are of him as well!

Azaria is moving up!

We got this crib from some friends for Azaria. It was a blonde wood, we painted it turquoise and and antiqued it, I LOVE the way it turned out! Anyway, we decided Azaria is ready to move from the bassinet next to our bed(or our bed) to her own crib! I can't believe she is so big already!

Other than that Clary has been "drawing" like crazy! And the girls are becoming more interested in eachother every day . . . So exciting!

Giggles and Sunshine!

Azaria is giggling a lot lately! She was laughing out loud at Clary and then later at Uncle Caleb's dogs today! I love to het laugh! Anymore all Clary has to do is walk by and it brings a huge smile to Azaria's face : )

Photos, photos, photos!

I had a photo shoot today and it ended up pretty much being an all day affair! Lucky for Clary she got to go to lunch with Papa and Nina. Azaria though is so well tempered and just relaxed while we did the photos!

Sundays- Friends Family, and rest

Not too much going on today, after church Travis got to shoot with a friend and I got to hang out with a couple of friends. Clary did find Uncle Luke's mower in the yard though and thought it made a nice slide!

Parties, Friends, & Dates

Yesterday was such a crazy day that I am blogging a day late! We began the day by heading to a birthday party at Chuckie Cheese. It was Clary's 1st experience and it was an experience! Clary had a blast though and we only lost her once! (Go Us!). We got to spend our afternoon hanging out with some friends who are down from Jacksonville. And to top it all off Travis used some gift cards we got for Christmas to take me out on a date. Our 1st in many many months, we tried to remember our last date but couldn't ( I guess just part of having 2 under 2 )! It was fabulous and we laughed a ton, even if our pasta dish was more like a salad with a few noodles!

Baking and Smiles!

I had to make some cupcakes for some photo shoots tomorrow and of course Nina the top cupcake maker had to help us! Clary really enjoyed the yummy homemade frosting(note her healing head wound, so sad). It is my all time favorite and I am pretty sure it would be everyones if they tasted it!

Side note - Azaria is a JOY to wake up to in the morning, always brimming with smiles!

Crafts, Crafts, Crafts

Today has been monopolized with crafting! That is a lie this week has been monopolized with crafting! I just can't stop myself, I LOVE creating things! Lucky for the girls most of the things I craft are for them, either that or photo shoots! And the best part is I basically had all this stuff or it was given to me, ie..the chair!  These are just a few of the many projects I have had going on this week . . . Just imagine what my little house looks like!

If you can't tell I am EXCITED for Valentines!  Probably one of my favorite holidays.  If only for the colors and the hearts everywhere!
